First race in 8m 57s It’s mostly Maiden and BM56 racing at Hamilton today, but there are some good betting races on the eight-race card. The Soft 7 track should play fairly for most runners, and because there’s some cut in the track, there could be an upset or two to kick off the big week in Victorian racing.
Race 1. (13:30) Bet365 Bet Boost Maiden (1200m)
#10 - Secret Crossing @ $4.50
Punters get each-way odds for Secret Crossing, who ran third on debut at Bendigo last month.
The Shane Jackson-trained filly only faced a field of four runners, but she should have appreciated the experience.
Having Dean Yendall riding should be enough to take her close.
Stake: 1 Unit
Race 2. (14:00) Creek Electrical Maiden (1100m)
#5 - Weasel Sea @ $2.10
Weasel Sea showed consistency during his first preparation with four consecutive placings, and he should be tough to beat here.
The Jason Warren-trained gelding comes off a third placing at Cranbourne, and something close to that is good enough to beat this field.
Include him in horse racing multi bets.
Stake: 2 Units
Race 3. (14:30) Star Printing Maiden (1400m)
#10 - Off’N’Gawn @ $23.00
Punters get big odds for Off’N’Gawn, who is better than what she has been showing this preparation.
She hasn’t enjoyed running on synthetic tracks, and her form in soft conditions last campaign was better, so that’s a good sign.
She gets another chance considering the big odds.
Stake: 1 Unit
Race 4. (15:00) Walker’s Earthworks Maiden (1600m)
#10 - Just My Lot @ $2.15
Just My Lot has had its chances to win this preparation, but it’s only a matter of time she breaks through.
The four-year-old mare by Shamus Award ran second and third at Warrnambool in wet conditions, and she battled gamely to the line.
$2.15 is a fair price, which could shorten close to start time.
Stake: 2 Units
Race 5. (15:30) Maxi Tankers BM56 (1600m)
#4 - Cute Girl @ $6.50
Punters get healthy odds for Cute Girl, who scored a win at Warrnambool two back before placing at Naracoote last start.
The five-year-old mare by Puissance de Lune owns a win and three placings from five starts overall, and she races best in these conditions.
We priced her at around $4.40 so take the value.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Race 6. (16:00) Finchetts Plumbing BM56 (2200m)
#6 - Kawa @ $5.00
Kawa looked good when winning earlier this preparation, and her form since has been solid enough to include in picks.
The Matthew Cumani-trained mare has a good turn-of-foot at the end of her races, and she could rediscover it.
The $5 odds make her a worthwhile bet.
Stake: 1 Unit
Race 7. (16:30) Fitzgerald Concrete BM56 (1100m)
#2 - Packers Journey @ $5.00
We’re taking the each-way odds for Packers Journey, who scored at Mildura four back before adding another win at Mildura last time out.
The five-year-old mare has yet to race at Hamilton, but it should be a good track for her, and the conditions are up her alley.
3kg comes off her back, so look for her to lead for most of the race.
Stake: 1 Unit
Race 8. (17:00) The Cally Hamilton BM56 (1400m)
#7 - Astrodean @ $11.00
The double-figure odds for Astrodean are worth including in horse racing predictions.
He comes off a second placing at Naracoote, and he also scored a win there four starts back, so it’s solid enough form.
It’s not a strong field, so look for him to win well at odds.
Stake: 1 Unit
