Best Bets – Wednesday 26 March

I love last start baby winners and we have one here in MEDNYI. Not treallu sure how you pronounce his name – perhaps Darren Flindell tells us today. I’ve heard him called Med ini, and also Med N I. I actually would call him Me deny. Anyway, he has talent and is very fit. Will sit on speed and can kick., His unraced stablemate Nielsen park has been quite well backed overnight too so quinella them.

What a good field. I think we will see probably all of them win city races down the line. I’m on SCRUMPTIOUS to win and atone for her last start 2nd to rival again Pleasure Queen. She was a good thing beaten that day and meets her rival 1kg  better. Lots of money will come for Spice Prawn who was 4th in that same race after flashing home and is suited by the extra 100m. But, I’m very confident re Scrumptious.

Half this field was 2nd at their latest runs, all probably unlucky too. And I am on one of them. I think MISSION GOLD is coming of age and will run home strongly enough here. Has placed twice from 2 starts to date. Is very fit and drawn to receive a cushy run. Marais as always, placed 8 times this grade, will be hard to beat.

I think BALLROOM BELLA is one of the bets of the year. She is grades better than these and did win a barrier trial recently. Get on.

Off to Canberra for this bet. I like BRAZEN CRIME. he’s a local and is 2nd up after a solid 4th in a similar race when resuming. Has won here and drawn barrier 2 which means he just cruises for most of the race with cover. Quinella him with Longinus.
