Caulfield Boxing Day Best Bet

Race 4 – Immaculate Secret

Immaculate Secret is seeking a hattrick on Boxing Day and looms as a strong hope in a competitive race.

The four-year-old goes back up against the males in this Benchmark 70 contest following a success against fillies and mares at Moonee Valley on December 7. Before that win the mare won in dominant fashion at Terang, scoring by just under two and a half lengths.

Dylan Dunn again takes the ride after guiding Immaculate Secret to both her wins this preparation. Third-up and stepping up to 1400m are both big ticks for the Lee and Troy Corstens-trained mare, and we’re backing her in on Boxing Day.

Immaculate Secret is at $5.50 to win via online bookmaker BetEasy

Race 6 – Torgersen

Chris Waller-trained gelding Torgersen is looking to get into the winner’s circle after two back-to-back second placings at Kilmore and Pakenham.

The horse gets a great gate to break the Victorian duck over a distance it has won at previously. This appears to be a winnable race and we’re backing him in to deliver a win for Waller.

Randwick Boxing Day Best Bet

Race 1 – Zalatte

The Chris Waller-trained Zalatte looks extremely hard to beat in the opening event at Randwick.

The filly comes into race 1 after winning both events to date, scoring by just under half a length at Randwick’s Kensington track before winning by a neat length at Rosehill at Benchmark 763 level.

There’s a huge weight increase of 6kg coming into this event but we’re certain she’s good enough to overcome.

This filly is one to watch, and we’re anticipating Zalatte remains undefeated after Boxing Day.

Zalatte is at $1.50 via online bookmaker Sportsbet to win

Randwick Boxing Day Next Best

Race 3 – Devil’s Lair

Chris Waller looks set for a huge Boxing Day.

Surprise surprise, it’s another Chris Waller runner that we’re tipping at Randwick.

It had been a quality preparation leading into this horse’s last-start win at Warwick Farm on December 5 under a peach of a ride by James McDonald.

The J-Mac again takes the ride, and from a good gate, an in-from last-start run under the belt and a field where nothing else stands out means we’re confident that Devil’s Lair can torch them in this one.

Devil’s Lair is at $4.40 via online bookmaker Sportsbet to win
