Best Bets – Saturday 1st February

BM84 HANDICAP

SANDOWN Race 10 (1400m) 5:35 pm

LETHAL THOUGHTS hit the line well last time out at Flemington behind Is It Me. That was his second-up run and he will be much fitter to tackle this assignment. Has a nice low draw and if gets clear air in the run home, he will take a power of holding off.

BM78 HANDICAP

SANDOWN Race 8 (1800M) 4:15 pm

REVELARE has won his past two starts, first at Seymour and then was quite impressive winning at Lakeside last time out. Looks as though the rise in trip will suit and he will be rock hard fit now to take on that extra journey. Should prove very hard to beat.

BM85 HANDICAP

DOOMBEN Race 8 (1350M) 5:27 pm

Will be having something each-way on ADDRIEL here at Doomben. Three runs back was impressive winning at Eagle Farm when proved too strong for them in the run home. He was disappointing two back in the wet and then was strong to the line at big odds in the Magic Millions Cup at Gold Coast. At double figure odds, he is a good each-way bet. 

OPEN HANDICAP

DOOMBEN Race 9 (1200M) 6:10 pm

TRIBECA STAR is first up today and they have chosen this race over the last. He has not missed a place in 4 first-up runs winning 2 of them. Has no weight on his back and also has the in form Angela Jones on board, Should be extremely hard to beat.

RATING72+ HANDICAP

ASCOT Race 10 (1400M) 7:53 pm

Like RUSSIAN TO THE BAR to go one better than last start when he charged home late to go down to Bonjoy who he meets again here. Meets that horse 1.5kgs better off and the extra trip will suit him perfectly. Look for him to be running over them late.
