Golden Slipper Form Guide & Tips
(1) Rivellino ($12.00)
He’s an unbeaten runner who has every chance of winning. We’re loving the odds and getting barrier three with Hugh Bowman riding is ideal.
He owns a nice turn-of-foot and that’s typically needed to win the Golden Slipper.
(2) Devil Night (Best Each Way – $11.00)
Form out of the Blue Diamond has stacked up beautifully and he won the race. He will need to improve on that effort but the $11 odds are too juicy to pass up.
Mick Dee is riding in career-best form and he’s now a big-race rider.
(3) North England ($19.00)
A touch disappointing fresh up but he ran through the line well enough. Because of the depth of this field, we’re choosing to leave him out of our Golden Slipper picks.
(4) Tycoon Star ($19.00)
The Written Tycoon colt is never too far away from the prize but we’re not sure if he has the brilliance to win this race.
Barrier five is ideal but there are better winning chances in the Slipper.
(5) West of Swindon ($41.00)
Scratched last week after running second behind Beiwacht. We don’t think that’s the best form guide for this race, and not having a win under his belt is concerning.
(6) Beiwacht ($61.00)
We liked his win two back but he didn’t follow it up. Drawing barrier 16 could be enough to extinguish his chances.
(7) Skyhook (Best Bet – $9.00)
A booming winner last week, and although backing up a week later is tough, the colt couldn’t have been more impressive.
He will attempt to push forward and look to take bad luck out of the equation.
(8) Wodeton ($4.60)
Earmarked as a Slipper favourite after winning on debut. We didn’t imagine he would still be favourite after two disappointing runs, but here we are.
We’re not leaving him out as he did his best work late last start, but we don’t think he’s the worthy Golden Slipper favourite.
(9) King of Pop ($31.00)
An unbeaten colt that could have been shorter in the market had he not drawn barrier 18. It’s too tough to win from out there.
(10) Quietly Arrogant ($27.00)
Third behind Rivellino and Skyhook last start and that form has been franked. However, he needs to improve a couple of lengths on that.
We think $27 is a fair price, but he’s not entering our picks.
(11) Farcited ($81.00)
Form at Canberra isn’t likely to have much of an impact at Rosehill. We don’t doubt Gai’s ability to train Slipper winners, but it’s unlikely to be this one.
(12) Within the Law ($11.00)
We’re not leaving out Within the Law, who owns three wins from four starts. She owns a serious turn-of-foot and everything Bjorn Baker turns to gold this season.
Look for her to settle back, and if the breaks come in the straight, she could finish off best.
(13) Tempted ($5.00)
A top contender after winning impressively at Randwick last start. It wasn’t the best field we’ve ever seen but she looked strong.
She gets the inside draw, which can be tricky, but Blake Shinn in the saddle helps.
(14) Bellazaine (Best Roughie – $27.00)
Better odds than we expected for Bellazaine. She won well two back before finishing second behind Within the Law in a driving finish.
Barrier 15 isn’t ideal but she settles back and flashes home late.
(15) Military Tycoon ($21.00)
She broke through with a win at Flemington but we would have priced her around $34. We can’t find room for her in our Golden Slipper bets.
(16) Marhoona ($10.00)
She ran second behind Tempted, which followed a win at Canterbury on debut. She has improvement to come, but the occasion and big field might get the better of her.
(17) Alabama Magic ($201.00)
Yet to win and we can’t see that changing on Saturday.
(18) Nepotism ($71.00)
Third on debut and he needs to improve many lengths to win.
