Spring is in the air and this edition of the Saturday Best Bets features some quality gallopers who will be major players during the upcoming Carnival. The Group 2 P.B. Lawrence is to be run at Caulfield while Winx makes her return to the track at Randwick!
Caulfield Best Bets
Race 3 #13 Fursa @ $5.50
Yet another International galloper first-up for Darren Weir. This mare is group class though and in a BM78 we are getting $5.50 which is a steal. Happy to gamble on her fitness at the price. Half stake early and half once we get a green light in betting.
Race 7 #11 Duke Of Brunswick @ $6.50 to place
This is a hot race no doubt but with rain around and so many quality gallopers presenting first-up we think there is value to be had finding the versatile fit horse who handles the soft going. He’ll likely find at least one too slick but the place value is terrific!

Race 8 #1 Vega Magic @ $4.80
Very smart horse who went super to win a Group 1 in Adelaide. The handicapper hasn’t missed him but for good reason, he’s better than this lot. Think the class will shine through!
Race 9 #1 Moss n Dale @ $9.00
Although the price is juicy now only have half your stake early as this looks a race that may be affected by scratchings if the rain comes. If it does, however, this gelding will come right into the calculation. At his pet distance and absolutely loves the wet tracks.
Doomben Best Bets
Race 5 #1 Charlie Boy @ $3.20
Probably the best bet of the day! Third-up, up to 1350m he’s ready to rock. Both runs for Gollan have been very good and this just suits perfectly. We expect that he starts closer to the 6-4 mark. Steel Zip, Frespanol, and Flamboyer all too short!
Race 9 #12 Shipwrecked @ $14.00
We round out the day in Brisbane with another Tony Gollan runner. Shipwrecked is one of few runners in the race with a mathematical chance in terms of ability that also maps well. Huge overs right now, a great each-way bet!
