Seymour racing tips
—
Snore has been an expensive follow for punters, but after finishing second at Bendigo last start, he’s good enough to win.
The son of Grunt owns five placings from 11 starts overall, and this isn’t an overly tough field to beat on Thursday.
Take the $2.90 before late money comes for him.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Big bets have come for Cavalry, who ran third on debut at Hawkesbury before finishing fifth at Bendigo last time out.
That form is good enough to win at Seymour, and the four-year-old son of Brutal is bred to be better than most at this level.
If he jumps on terms with them, he should be right in the mix.
Stake: 2.5 Units
Punters get each-way odds for Blaze Away on debut, and he has looked speedy at the Flemington jumpouts.
The three-year-old son of Doubtland finished first and second in two jumpouts, so having that experience under his belt is ideal.
It’s an open field, so include him at the odds.
Stake: 1 Unit
Graeme Begg has a good record with his debut runners, and the three-year-old filly is bred to be better than average.
The daughter of Written Tycoon comes off a third placing at the Caulfield trials, and she could save her best effort for race day.
It could be worth taking the $4.20 before money comes for her on race day.
Stake: 1 Unit
Punters get value odds for Half Scotch, who ran sixth on debut at Donald, but she could improve with that run under her belt.
The three-year-old filly by Toronado has been primed with two jumpout performances, and she doesn’t need to improve much to go close.
Take the $15 odds available with bookmakers.
Stake: 1 Unit
We’re not surprised by the money coming for Astral Flame, who scored a win and placed three times last preparation.
The four-year-old mare by Overshare comes off a second placing at Cranbourne, and her odds have been steady throughout the week.
She will need luck from a wide draw, but she has enough speed to cross.
Stake: 1 Unit
Looking to improve on a recent fourth at Geelong is Amphactor, who should enjoy racing at Seymour for the first time.
The six-year-old son of American Pharoah is a three-time winner overall, including a win on soft ground, so the conditions should suit.
Brad Rawiller rides, and his experience is a bonus.
Stake: 1 Unit
We’re snapping up the each-way odds with Storm Ahead, who showed good form last prep when running at Flemington and Caulfield.
The four-year-old son of Trapeze Artist has been prepared with plenty of jumpouts, and he has more experience than most in this field.
Getting the inside draw is ideal, so include him in picks.
Stake: 2.5 Units
High Praise didn’t do much wrong last prep when posting a win and three placings, so we’re surprised by the drifting odds.
The Greg Eurell-trained son of Tarzino shouldn’t mind kicking off over 1429m, having won at Pakenham over the mile last time in work.
Take the $5.50 odds before late money comes for him.
Stake: 1.5 Units
