Champagne Stakes Form Guide & Tips
(1) State Visit (Best Each Way – $6.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Early money has come for State Visit, who battled gamely in the Sires’ Produce, and rising in distance is ideal for the colt by Wootton Basset.
After touching $8 in early betting markets, money has come for him significantly. That’s a good sign and having James McDonald in the saddle is ideal.
(2) Nepotism (Best Bet – $3.80)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Nepotism was a strong winner last start despite a betting drift, and that’s the best form guide for the Champagne Stakes.
The Hawkes-trained colt only needs to find some cover from a wide draw, and he could finish over the top of them late.
(3) Buffalo ($6.50)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Buffalo has been running well recently, including a win at Newcastle before placing at Randwick behind Vinrock.
That should be a good form guide, and although he’s not at the top of our picks, he’s worth including ni multiples at the price.
(4) Is It Spectacular ($67.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'The son of Dundeel comes off a win at Warwick Farm, but this is a sizable rise in class, and he should struggle.
Barrier two is ideal, but as the odds suggest, he shouldn’t figure in the finish.
(5) Michelangelo ($21.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'We fancied his chances of winning last Saturday, but he got too far back and was never a factor in the run to the line.
He’s from the Waller stable, but until he wins a race, we’re not including him in picks, especially at the top level.
(6) Federalist ($18.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'He has been specked at odds after opening at $20, and although the rise in distance is ideal, this field could be too classy for him.
He’s better off targeting an easier race because there is plenty of room for improvement.
(7) Within the Law ($5.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Big bets have come early for Within the Law, who was seen finishing off stylishly last start, and she almost went in as the best each-way.
She had no luck in the Golden Slipper and little luck last start, but she should get clear running over 1600m from a good barrier.
(8) Bellazaine ($9.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'She won well fresh up before running well in the biggest races of the 2YO season, so we’re not leaving her out.
She will need a drag into the race by one going forward, but if she gets things her way, she could finish over the top of them.
(9) Spicy Lu (Best Roughie – $17.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'The race might have been run extremely slowly in front last start, but we liked the way she found the front and kicked clear.
The Nick Olive stable clearly knew she had ability, and now she could go from county racing to Group 1 winner in two starts.
Given the odds available, she’s worth backing.
(10) Tupakara ($17.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'She has been working towards a win, but she couldn’t reel in Spicy Lu last start.
Improvement is needed to beat a harder field, so we’re prepared to give her out of our Champagne Stakes picks.
(11) Lady Pankhurst ($61.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'John Sargent-trained runners often need a few runs to get going, and she could figure in the finish.
The race was run to suit last week, but she’ll be stronger for the run, and Sargent knows how to train milers.
(12) Next Jen ($9.50)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'A debut winner at Newcastle before running three lengths behind Nepotism. Odds are a touch short for our liking, but she goes into the mix.
