Best Bets
Steve Christie
Betting Strategy
BACK: #2 Lil Ripper (WIN) for 4 units
This is the final of the LHT Cup under stand start conditions. LIL RIPPER (2) showed last week that she is the most talented pacer in the field, so as long as she goes away with them, she is the one they all have to beat.
Race 1
1. Khaki Nui (8)
2. Sharkattack (6)
3. Yareckon Im Sweet (1)
4. Montana Lad (4)
Betting Strategy
BACK: #8 Khaki Nui (WIN)
KHAKI NUI (8) continues to drop in class, and despite drawing inside the second row, he looks clearly the hardest to beat.
Race 2
1. James Cagney (2)
2. Pardoe Plugga (3)
3. Kuzma (6)
4. Puntarno Stride (9)
Betting Strategy
BACK: #2 James Cagney (WIN)
This is for the 70-79 pacers and its a tough one to assess. JAMES CAGNEY (2) will improve as maps to get the run he likes sitting on the back of the speed, so will finish strongly and can win.
BACK: #3 Pardoe Plugga (WIN)
This is for the 70-79 pacers and its a tough one to assess. PARDOE PLUGGA (3) has plenty of gate speed, so if he can work across those to his inside which will not be easy, I can see him giving them something to catch.
Race 3
1. Fiesta Stride (5)
2. Cliffhanger (4)
3. Our Miki Diva (9)
4. Scarlet Place (10)
Betting Strategy
BACK: #5 Fiesta Stride (WIN) for 2 units
FIESTA STRIDE (5) comes back from a freshen up but if she produces her recent form, she will take plenty of beating.
BACK: #9 Miki Diva (WIN) for 1 unit
OUR MIKI DIVA (9) is racing well and gets a good trailing draw, being an open race, we should get double-figure odds, so it is worth a small play.
Race 4
1. Fighting Fire (4)
2. Fleetwood Rock (7)
3. Hes Apples (6)
4. Eye See Double (11)
Betting Strategy
BACK: #4 Fighting Fire (WIN) for 3 units
FIGHTING FIRE (4) was super impressive winning his heat for King Island trainer Peter Jakowenko and only needs to bring that form to be a major player as will look to bully his way to the top.
Race 5
1. Lil Ripper (2)
2. Cemetery Bay (11)
3. Windy Hanover (10)
4. Major Davvin (1)
Betting Strategy
BACK: #2 Lil Ripper (WIN) for 4 units
This is the final of the LHT Cup under stand start conditions. LIL RIPPER (2) showed last week that she is the most talented pacer in the field, so as long as she goes away with them, she is the one they all have to beat.
Race 6
1. Lets Go Lucylou (9)
2. Centurian Miss (3)
3. Nancys Hope (4)
4. Obler (7)
Betting Strategy
BACK: #9 Lets Go Lucylou
LETS GO LUCYLOU (9) was impressive winning the heat last week on debut and should only be further improved so look for her to push through and put herself into the race.
Race 7
1. Star Major (12)
2. Ultimate Vinnie (3)
3. Mickey Oh (14)
4. Jimmy the Irishman (5)
Betting Strategy
BACK: #12 Star Major (WIN) for 3 units
STAR MAJOR (12) was dominant in his heat leading throughout, but this is a different story as he draws the second row. He is still the one to beat with average luck.
ULTIMATE VINNIE (3) won last week’s heat, and the start is crucial as he will need to step and from there will look to find the top and take plenty of catching.
BACK: #14 Mickey Oh (WIN) for 2 units
MICKEY OH (14) is the best of the locals, but he will need to begin, and if he can get through the field early he has shown he can do work, so will make the above two earn it.
Race 8
1. Dream Maze (3)
2. Miss Papenhuyzen (10)
3. Major Fire (5)
4. Heavenly Charm (6)
Betting Strategy
BACK: #3 Dream Maze (WIN) for 4 units
DREAM MAZE (3) was dominant in her heat, and she gets the draw to push forward and control from the top so it will take a special effort to run her down.
RACE 9
1. Sharmey (2)
2. Endeavour Stride (5)
3. Equity Stride (1)
4. Gobsmacked (9)
Betting Strategy
BACK: #5 Endeavour Stride (WIN)
ENDEAVOUR STRIDE (5) is a free running type so he is another that will push forward and will take running down if getting across.
BACK: #5 Endeavour Stride (PLACE)
ENDEAVOUR STRIDE (5) is a free running type so he is another that will push forward and will take running down if getting across.
BACK: #9 Gobsmacked (WIN)
GOBSMACKED (9) will push through and gets a good trip behind them, so can finish the race off strongly.
RACE 10
1. Royal Appointment (1)
2. Botany Bay Warrior (2)
3. Our Ruby Rose (3)
4. Kenya (8)
Betting Strategy
BACK: #1 Royal Appointment (WIN) for 3 units
ROYAL APPOINTMENT (1) had every chance last week, just finding one stronger but from the pole has options, and the shorter trip suits.
