Sale race tips and betting preview | October 11, 2023
| What | Sale Races |
| Where | Sale Turf Club – 1227 Maffra-Sale Rd, Sale VIC 3850 |
| When | Wednesday, October 11, 2023 |
| First Race | 1pm AEDT |
Midweek racing in Victoria heads to Sale Racecourse on Wednesday afternoon, where an eight-race program is set down for decision. With perfect spring weather forecast in the leadup to the meeting and quite a warm day set for Wednesday, we should be racing on a firmer deck than the currently rated Heavy 8 track. The rail comes out 6m the entire circuit, with action commencing at 1pm AEDT. Here are our free Sale race tips for October 11, 2023.
Best Bet at Sale: Mr Trafficanti
Mr Trafficanti is a nine-start maiden, but the five-year-old gelding will not get a better opportunity to break maiden ranks as he does on Wednesday. The son of Turn Me Loose was hitting the line with great intent when finishing second at Warrnambool on September 25, and we expect he will go one better at Sale. He will need a genuinely run 1423m affair as he gets back in running and runs home strongly. With even luck, if Mr Trafficanti can hold his form, it should be enough to account for this field.
Best Bet
Race 3 – 
#6 Mr Trafficanti (3)
5yo Gelding | T: Gavin Bedggood | J: Beau Mertens (59.5kg)
Next Best at Sale: Lady Di Di
Cliff Brown’s Lady Di Di return with a smart second to Lempicka at Sandown on September 13 and second-up from a spell should see the mare bring up a second career win. Having settled close to the speed when fresh, the Written Tycoon mare ran into one better on the day, but the run suggested she was worth sticking with. She brings some excellent form lines from her last campaign, and if Lady Di Di can replicate her first-up run, it should be more than good enough to win on Wednesday.
Next Best
Race 7 – 
#6 Lady Di Di (6)
4yo Mare | T: Cliff Brown | J: Ben Allen (58.5kg)
Best Value at Sale: High Done
The Paul & Tracey Templeton-trained High Done hardly knows how to run a poor race, and in BM58 grade, he looks well-placed. The eight-year-old gelding is a three-time winner at Sale and has placed a further six times, signifying his love for the track. The son of High Chaparral has plenty of early speed, which will help negate the sticky barrier (15), and he should have no issues leading this field up. Tatum Bull claiming 2kg is a big help, and considering he will only get better as he steps up in trip, look for High Done to run his rivals off their feet over the 1423m.
Best Value
Race 6 – 
#1 High Done (15)
8yo Gelding | T: Paul & Tracey Templeton | J: Tatum Bull (a2) (62.5kg)
