Echuca racing tips

Race 1. (13:00) Good Friday Appeal BM64 (1400m)

#5 – La Pleine Lune @ $3.40

La Pleine Lune returned to winning form at Geelong last time out, and that’s a good sign for his future.

The three-year-old gelding by Puissanse de Lune owns two wins from five starts, which is a solid form guide for this race.

Carrying 61kg isn’t easy but it should be tough to beat.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (13:35) Worklocker Echuca BM64 (1000m)

#3 – Blue Stratum @ $3.30

Blue Stratum is a proven fresh up performer, and after winning a trial at Caulfield, he looks ready to go.

The three-year-old son of Blue Point is better than his form suggests, and getting the inside draw with 2kg off his back is ideal.

Punters get value odds, which are worth including in picks.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 3. (14:10) Border Inn Hotel Moama BM64 (2100m)

#7 – Chase Your Dreams @ $3.30

Early betting support has come for Chase Your Dreams, who was good enough to win consecutive races at Kyneton and Kilmore earlier this preparation.

The three-year-old daughter of Contributer wasn’t all that far away when fifth at Cranbourne, and after opening at $3.60, she has been backed to win.

Money is likely to come for her on race day, so take the current odds.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (14:45) Rich River Party Hire C3 (1400m)

#1 – Roadcone @ $3.00

Roadcone isn’t the luckiest horse going around, but after three consecutive placings, he looks ready to break through.

The four-year-old son of Almanzor owns two wins and four placings from nine starts, and his best form is good enough to handle this field.

Take the odds before more money comes for him on race day.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (15:20) Quest Serviced Apartments BM70 (1400m)

#2 – Superset @ $6.50

Superset runs his best races at Echuca, posting a win and a placing from two starts.

The five-year-old son of Super One is a four-time winner overall, and he won well at Echuca two starts back at this track.

Punters get value odds in an even betting field.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 6. (15:55) Bet365 Country Oaks (2100m)

#1 – Smokin’ Princess @ $2.20

Smokin’ Princess didn’t do much wrong last Saturday at Bendigo when running second behind Regal Zeus, which is a good form guide.

The five-year-old mare owns nine wins from 21 starts, and she’s clearly the best horse in the race, so we’re happy with the odds.

Carrying 57kg makes her tough to beat, so she’s our clear top pick.

Stake: 4 Units

Race 7. (16:30) Bet365 Country Discovery (1000m)

#7 – Midwest @ $5.00

Midwest is blessed with elite speed over 1000m, and with seven wins over this distance, he could make it eight.

The six-year-old son of Zoustar won at Flemington two back before running third at Flemington behind Joyful Fortune last time out.

He’s good enough to turn the tables, and 54kg with Craig Williams in the saddle helps.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (17:05) Moama Bowling Club BM70 (1200m)

#9 – Social Conscience @ $7.50

Social Conscience has been threatening to win a race this preparation, including a second placing last time out at Sale.

The five-year-old gelding by Capitalist is a four-time winner over the distance, and getting in with 55kg makes him tough to beat.

He’s another runner at each-way odds worth including in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit
