Benalla Racing Club is scheduled to host a bumper nine-race card on Monday afternoon and Horsebetting’s Victorian form expert presents his best bets, free quaddies picks and odds from leading online bookmakers. The track has come up a Good 4, with the rail in the true position, for the meeting commencing at 1pm AEDT.
Benalla Best Bet – Secret Sheema
Secret Sheema from the Ben Brisbourne stable is racing in great form without breaking through for a win and looks a clear best bet at Benalla. The four-year-old Proisir mare has three consecutive runner-up finishes to her name but looks well placed to break through for what will be just her second career win. She was held up for a run in the home straight last time out at Geelong when only seeing clear air at the 100m mark. When she did get out, she drove hard to go down by a short half head in an unlucky result here she was a good thing beaten. From barrier nine, Hannah Edgley will look to have her settled in the first half a dozen with cover and if she can replicate a similar turn of foot as she did at Geelong, she looks the goods. The $2.15 on offer from Neds looks a steal based on recent form.
Next Best Bet at Benalla – Victory Chuckle
In the opening leg of the quaddie, we are happy to side with the Craig Weeding-trained Victory Chuckle who has returned in fine form this campaign. From four runs this time in, the four-year-old son of Sebring has a win and three minor placings and looks well-placed to chalk up another win. He absolutely flew home at Wagga last time out on January 26, but ultimately left his run too late. With Hannah Edgley on board, we expect to see the chestnut gelding to settle at the rear of the field. With Edgley’s 3kg claim, it will benefit his chances of letting down late with 60kg on his back, just 1kg more than what he carried at Wagga. He has the best turn of foot in the race and as long as he is within striking distance on the home turn, Victory Chuckle should prove too good for this lot.
Best Value Bet at Benalla – Anahera
Despite being a 15-start maiden, we are anticipating that the Ben Brisbourne-trained Anahera can breakthrough for a win on Monday. She was racing in tight room last time out at Benalla on January 16 and could not let down to the best of her ability. Prior to that she had chased home the smart Queen Of Sass and three runs back was only beaten a length when finishing second. From barrier seven, Lewis German will need a touch of luck in finding the Anacheeva mare a bit of cover around midfield. If she does, she has shown in certain stages of her career to be armed with a nice turn of foot. With $12 on offer from Sportsbet, we are willing to take that price.
