Caulfield 15th July
Rail Position: Out 10m Entire Circuit
Dual Track Meeting: N
Track Type: Turf
Track Condition: Good 4
Weather: Showers
Race 1 #3 Data Point @ $3.10
He’s a hard horse to catch and not a horse (or a racing pattern) we find ourselves backing very often. However, he drops from open class back to a pretty tame BM78 and to his ‘winning distance’ of 1400m. He rates the house down and had he drawn a middle draw we’d be all but declaring him. He will need a clever ride from Beau Mertens who will be duking it out with Craig Williams for the jockey premiership and at the price north of $3 we are happy to back him to get the job done!
Morphettville Parks Racing Tips 15th July
Race 5 #1 Onpicalo @ $7/2.60
Just have to stick with the old soldier here after a luckless run last start. He’s been victim to some bad rides and bad luck but the horse is absolutely flying that is for sure. There looks to be a bit of speed battle here that jockey Chris Caserta needs to embrace and use his mounts fitness advantage and bowling style to put a gap in some of his rivals back in the field. He’s drawn wide but should get the cart across with Show A Star and First Course. Providing they keep the horse rolling and don’t ‘drop the anchor’ again he looks a ripping 1 x 3 proposition.
Race 7 #10 O’malley @ $15/$3.80
A really interesting race this one! Supido is no doubt the best horse in the race but I can’t for the life of me price him any lower than $3 first-up in this race. Happy to also dodge LOTS at his price considering the low draw and the 1100m start. Interested in O’Malley who’s drawn wide and will just have to stay in touch to be very dangerous late. Given his racing style happy to stake more the place than the win. Going 1 x 3 again and locking in the $3.80 the drum now!
