Best Bets – Wednesday 20 August

Gibson Mdn

Ipswich Race 1 (1200m) 1:43 pm

Interesting affair. If Tony Gollan’s mare TSZYUYA can come across and control the pace, she may just slip away when they turn. She is 3rd up here and is ready to fire up. Of the others SHIPPING LANE is rounding into form too for the quinella bet.

Red Bull Cl 5

Ipswich race 2 (1680m) 2:18 pm

To me, if SOUL OF SPAIN turns up in the frame of mind needed, he wins this – despite the fact he is resuming. I think he is a stayer of the future and this isn’t very strong. Sweet Proposal for 2nd spot.

I must say I like the look of LADY LUCIFER in this. She was showing above average promise last prep, including winning 2nd up, and was spelled after a tired effort this grade. Since, has placed in this company when resuming, gets the inside post here and as mentioned, did win 2nd up last time and is 2nd up in this.

 

Big Screen BM 70

Sandown Race 7 (1200m) 4:30 pm

his is a rise in grade for ENRIGHT but being 2nd up after a good first up suggests he is fit enough now. Does his best when allowed to lead and probably drives forward from this gate. Is improving every run so no surprise to see the steady flow of cash for him overnight.

Gordon's Gin Cl 1 Plate

This looks a put in take out for Sydney galloper DELRICO. Sits up in 3rd to the bend then streaks away for mine. Can’t wait to get on.
