Our best bets for the weekends major metro meets.
Best Bets
Hanseatic (Caulfield Race 7 No.2)
The Blue Diamond is always a tough race and this Street Boss colt comes into it undefeated in his 3 starts. At his debut he won the Listed Merson Cooper Stakes, then he won the C&G Blue Diamond Preview by 2.5 lengths over 1000m at Caulfield on 25 January, then he got up late to win the Blue Diamond Prelude by 0.3 length over 1100m at Caulfield on 8 February. That was a strong fighting win and he looks like the one they have to beat.
Emerald Kingdom (Eagle Farm Race 9 No. 5)
With 5 wins and 2 places from 10 starts, this gelding has won all 3 starts this campaign. He won by 0.1 lengths over 1000m at Eagle Farm on 18 January then stepped up to a Class 6 plate and won by 3.3 lengths over 1200m at Doomben on 30 January. This is a similar race and although he goes up 1.5kg he should be hard to beat again.
Each Way
Greyworm (Rosehill Race 5 No. 1):
This Master Of Design gelding has had 6 wins and 4 places from 11 starts and has good form on rain-affected going. He won by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at Randwick on 12 October, then won by 1.3 lengths over 1400m at Randwick on 26 October before spelling. He has won 2 out of 3 of his first-up runs, won a Warwick Farm trial on 11 February, and is so consistent he is well worth an each-way bet at the current price.
