Best bets – Wednesday 30 July

I think this filly AUTUMN DREAM might be on the way up. Certainly needs to be as she rises in grade here following a provincial win last start. But the way she did it suggests she will sit off the speed here and finish very hard. Bella Corazon is in form and improving too so quinella them.

Chris Waller could trifecta this race, but which one wins? Hmmm, loved the first-up effort of Kapakiri last start and he should be running on now it’s a longer race and he’s fitter. Pink Shalala is in form but the mile is a slight concern, so I’m on TAZIMA. Only raced 3 times and has shown a lot of talent. Won maiden in NZ and on Sydney debut was an eye-catching 4th in this grade. Jay mac on top here.

Lots of hopes in this but I just loved the way Kim Waugh’s stayer CAMAGUEY, at $101 in a much stronger, longer race last start fought on for 4th. Was wide last 600m, yet moved up to win and wilted only final 50m. This is weaker, is 200m less and he should be super fit now at big each way odds. Coto de Caza has run into form too for the quinella bet.

If you can get $2.70 or better re CASSIEL take it. Get on. He looks a cut above these. Exacta with his stablemate Braveheart.

Probably a prudent idea to take your winnings from Cassiel at Warwick Farm and parlay it into TRAPALANDA in this. Smart horse in the making and is weighted to win this. Looks like a stayer who will handle this trip comfortably.
