Country racing in Victoria heads to Seymour on Sunday afternoon, where a nine-race meeting awaits punters. A perfect winter’s day is set to greet punters and competitors alike, albeit on the colder side, which should equate to a day full of competitive racing. The track will begin as a Soft 6, with an upgrade a slight chance, whilst the rail comes out 3m the entire circuit. Action from Seymour is set to commence at 11:55am AEST.

Best Bet at Seymour: Suances

Suances has caught the eye at both starts to begin her career, claiming minor placings at Mornington and then again at Cranbourne. The Autumn Sun three-year-old filly has shown a strong turn of foot once in clear air when asked for the ultimate effort, and in what shapes as a relatively weak maiden, the 1411m third-up into her career looks ideal. Billy Egan will need a touch of luck from barrier 11, but if the pair can gain a nice tow into the race, Suances should be breaking maiden ranks at the third time of asking.

Best Bet

Race 4 – #13 Suances (11)

Next Best at Seymour: Cortain

Mathew Ellerton’s Cortain thundered home late at Bendigo when finishing second in a driving finish behind Loose On Gin. The three-year-old gelding gave his rivals a massive start when turning into the home straight in last place, and considering he put 5.5 lengths on the third-place horse, the run suggested he would be winning wherever he went next. The long straight at Seymour should suit the son of Impending perfectly, and if he can go through his gears as he did at Bendigo, Cortain can go one better on Sunday.

Race 7 – #3 Cortain (8)

Best Value at Seymour: Sirius Statement

Saab Hasan’s Sirius Statement has returned in fine form, winning first-up before back-to-back runner-up efforts. The four-year-old mare was rolled as an odds-on favourite at Wangaratta on June 2, but has found the right race to bounce back in, and we’re getting a nice price with online bookmakers because of it. With speed drawn out wide, Blaike McDougall can have the progeny of Press Statement stalking the speed throughout, and when the gaps come in the home straight, Sirius Statement has the turn of foot to put this race away.
