Race 1 – Maiden (1200m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184999_01]
In just one of Tully Toff’s four career runs has the horse not been in the frame for a win. The three-year-old resumed well on April 24, missing out by one part of a length, and we think it can improve enough to take this one out.
Race 1 tip: Tully Toff to win ($3 at Sportsbet)
Race 2 – Class 1 Handicap (1200m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184999_02]
Debut winning Coup De Main is good enough to win this race. The promising three-year-old won by almost three and a half lengths on April 13 and based on that we cannot go past the gelding.
Race 2 tip: Coup De Main to win ($3.70 at Neds)
Race 3 – Class 3 (1000m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184999_03]
Can’t Find Snippy is in red-hot form and loves this trip. From five attempts over the short course the horse has never missed the top-two, winning twice.
Race 3 tip: Can’t Find Snippy to win ($4.40 at Sportsbet)
Race 4 – Benchmark 62 (1300m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184999_04]
If Pieceofeight can overcome the massive weight it will be right around the mark. In its last four races the horse has won twice and placed second, just a nose away from victory. 63.5kg is a huge weight to lug but the form cannot be denied.
Race 4 tip: Pieceofeight to win ($18 at Sportsbet)
Race 5 – Benchmark 70 (1400m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184999_05]
As It Lies founded her best with a last-start at Cranbourne and we’re backing the filly to go on with the job. The daughter of Foxwedge won by just under four lengths at a similar grading, which bodes well for a strong showing.
Race 5 tip: As It Lies to win ($1.95 at William Hill)
Race 6 – Southern Cross Guineas (1600m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184999_06]
I Am Kalani has been doing it all this preparation except winning races. The horse has finished second in three-straight races, none of which have been by more than a neat length. This looms as a winnable race.
Race 6 tip: I Am Kalani to win ($6.50 at Sportsbet)
Race 7 – Wagga Gold Cup (2000m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184999_07]
Godolphin runner Tally bounced back in spectacular fashion in the Group 3 Association Plate on April 21 and if that form carries over the five-year-old will be hard to hold out here. The horse carries around topweight, but we’re expecting the gelding to be highly competitive once again.
Race 7 tip: Tally to win ($3.50 at Neds)
Race 8 – Benchmark 70 (1200m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184999_08]
Manzana loves the 1200m trip and will be right in the mix here. The horse recorded a hat-trick earlier in the preparation and has three wins and two placings from six attempts at the distance.
Race 8 tip: Manzana to win ($6 at William Hill)
