Best Bets – Wednesday

I’m on NOW IS THE HOUR because I believe divine providence told me to be. I was listening to a nun speaking about her disdain and concern of the WEF and the evil influence those in charge across the globe had over the Covid jabs etc, and how she was not happy with the Pope’s response, which added the controversy, all at the time I was studying the form. I swear to you, that the VERY moment I read the name Now Is The Hour, she said, “so now is the day we must react.” Yes, I know, she didn’t say hour, but that was close enough for me. I’m all in on the Jay Mac ride this afternoon!

The way this horse WONDEREACH races, and the way this track plays out, means in my mind he is a good thing. Just leads all the way despite rising in grade.

This is a pretty even field and a couple have genuine talent. I think the way the race plays out that AMPLIFY from this gate, rolls forward to be outside the leader without using any gas to get there. This will be his 3rtd race start so is now really fit and he should hold out these Chris Waller backmarkers who will run on hard into the placings.

Now that he is 2nd up from a spell I like the look of SYDNEY BOWLER in this. He won 3 straight prior to spelling then resumed in a tough BM 72 at Canterbury where he sat back and ran on daily into 4th. Fitter now, can race closer to the lead and will prove hard to hold out.

The combination of Jamie Melham on board, Peter Moody and Kat Coleman training, and a huge market move overnight from $4.80 to $4.20 suggests to me HEAVENLY SHADES is clearly the one to beat here. Is up in class here but won a maiden last start with her head on her chest.
