Here’s a look at the best bets from across the Boys Get Paid community.
After having issues in the NZ cup last year he has produced a couple of very nice trials heading into this. Also generally very quick away from a stand looks set to run a big race fresh.
Draws well in barrier one. Trialed sensational last week in a quick time. A horse on the rise. Will no doubt benefit from the run but still should be tough to roll.
Big future this horse. Was excellent in a recent trial running sub 56 last half. Goes well fresh. Second line draw but only horse there so Bob will have options. Devastating sprint on him.
Race fitness is the key here. Ran some incredible sectionals in last two runs and meets a lot of rivals here with runs under the belt. High speed will carry him a long way to success.
Caught my eye last season. Two starts this winter on heavy tracks, finishing very well for 2nd in both. Freshen up and Opie jumps on. Marshy mentioned on SENZ very confident off the freshen up.
2x trial winner before being beat by a smart ride on debt. Was $2 favourite suggesting we give this one another chance. $4.20 and a bonus back race.
Certainty beaten there last start over 2200m when going down to Hula Beat by a head. Had beaten Hula Beat the start prior by three and half lengths. With better luck in the running Diamond Jak can turn the tables on Saturday.
Has always looked like a stayer of promise. Key point is the booking of Opie – has been a good mate of Shaun Ritchie for a long time but has only ridden approx. 23 times for him and won 7 of those which suggests they are normally ready to go when OP is up! Distance will suit, track conditions OK, and will be rock hard fit.
Rail out 5m could be quite leaderish and he’s in good form with the map advantage on the favourite.
Ocean Breeze Gets a far better draw tonight. Has used gate speed from a similar draw in the past. It’s been a bit unlucky recently with tough runs. Tough horse and if he gets across to the markers it’s a big show.
