Best Bets – Wednesday

When HAY STREET stepped out first up from a break last start, I was all over him. In my mind, I declared him and wagered accordingly. He firmed in the market, started at $2.50, and Jay Mac rode him like the best horse in the field, jumping to the lead from the get go and carving out fast time. Everything looked great as he kicked away on the bend, until this unraced thing called Journeyman, who might be very smart as it turns out, swamped him late. Sooo, today is the day of reckoning. The day we bounce back. Double up on Hay Street this time. Fitter now and is on home track.

As a punter you live for these types of races. DOUBLE VISION is a front-runner. She will lead this on her own comfortably. She is having her 3rd start, was placed past 2 runs, and is ready to fight on too strongly for these down the straight. Quinella with Almaaz.

There are a fair few potentially gifted ones here so should be a great spectacle. I’m on ASTRONOMIX. I think he will develop into Saturday grade and he is suited here as he can sit off the speed. Should finish very hard.

On races run previously, this Savabeel filly called SAMARELLE is a fair bit better than these. Was, however, beaten out of a place this grade when resuming last start. There will be a lot of pace on here early, which will suit her a great deal. This is 300m further, she is fitter and looks set to atone.

They have jumped out of the trees to get on BLUESTONE here since markets opened. I suggest we follow.
