Hamilton racing tips & value bets – Monday, 14 September 2020

Hamilton, VIC

For the first time since May 26, we are racing at Hamilton in the western districts of Victoria. The track is rated a Heavy 10 at the time of writing, but favourable conditions between now and race day could lead to an upgrade. With the rail in the true position, we can hope it isn’t a genuine slop fest. With the first of eight races set to jump at 1:30pm AEST, we will try to help you kick-start the week with a few winners.

Monday racing tips for Hamilton

Best Bet
Race 1 – Capriccio @ $2.10

The opening race is stacked with first starters, so we have gone with one of the gallopers who has exposed race-day form. The market favourite for Daniel Bowman was far from disgraced on debut when going down by 3.5L to a consistent metropolitan type in Peggy Selene back in June on a rain-affected track at Ballarat. The now-3YO filly gets another wet deck and is off a 13-week spell, but the slight race experience may hold her in good stead here. Capriccio beat the handy Heptagon in a recent jumpout, so she looks in decent touch.

Next Best
Race 4 – Art Major @ $4

This 4YO gelding was soundly beaten upon resumption on heavy going at Mornington when finishing midfield behind the handy Vainly. However, if this he can replicate his debut campaign form, he may prove a touch too good for this lot. Dean Yendall has been on board for the last three starts and retains the ride as Art Major sheds the blinkers and looks to break his maiden tag. From barrier seven, Yendall should be able to get this galloper in a nice place early.

Best Value
Race 8 – Astro Castro @ $9/$3 EW

We have tipped Astro Castro a few times in the past, but how can you not keep backing him in? He is ultra consistent but doesn’t win out of turn. He makes his own luck by leading, and he’s won on heavy going before, so it is hard to ignore him in the last race on the card. He went down by half a length to plunge horse Hay Cliffy at Donald on September 4, but he’s at peak race fitness now and will handle the sting out of the ground nicely.
