Our best bets for the weekends major metro meets.
Best Bets
Grand Promenade (Bendigo Race 1 No.2)
With 4 wins and 2 places from 6 starts, this lightly-raced Champs Elysses gelding has an enviable strike rate. He joined the lead at the 200m and fought hard to get ahead in the last 50m and win by 0.2 length over 2000m at Ballarat on 23 February, then after being headed at the 250m he managed to fight back and do best in the last 50m for a 0.3 length win over 2400m at Caulfield on 14 March. He has an extra 1kg here and looks the testing material again.
$2.45
Royal Witness (Doomben Race 5 No. 6)
This Star Witness gelding has raced 4 times this campaign and looks ready to win. He took over at the 350m but was grabbed late for 0.1 length, 0.1 length 3rd over 1000m at Randwick on 15 February, then got to the front at the top of the straight but was passed late for 0.1 length 2nd over 1000m at Canberra on 8 March. He is very fit and ready to win now.
$2.40
Each Way
Handle The Truth (Rosehill Race 5 No. 12):
This Star Witness gelding trained by Keith Dryden at Canberra has started 16 times for 8 wins and 3 places. He chased hard for 0.2 length, a length 3rd in the Listed Starlight Stakes over 1100m at Rosehill on 30 November, where he had the best last 400m race sectional and the rider was 0.5 kg over, then he resumed after 14 weeks for a gutsy 0.1 length win over 1000m at Canberra carrying 61.5 kg. He has a great record at Rosehill with 3 wins and a place from 5 starts, and with the 8kg weight drop he looks worth an each-way bet in this tougher race at the current price.
