Sistema Railway Form Guide & Tips
(1) Waitak ($10.00)
Waitak is a proven Group 1 winner and punters are hoping he shows something more than what we saw at Trentham.
Going right handed should help his cause, and given the double-figure odds, we’re happy to include him in our bets.
(2) Mercurial ($41.00)
He looked good when running second two back, but he’s only a two-time winner from 20 starts over 1200m.
We would prefer to see him over a longer distance.
(3) Crocetti ($5.00)
Crocetti looked like the next big thing in New Zealand, but his last three starts have been anything but.
He was scratched from the Telegraph, but according to betting markets, he should be fit and ready to fire at each-way odds.
Getting the inside draw is the best thing that could have happened to him.
(4) Bonny Lass ($19.00)
She’s a tough customer but she often gets found out against this level. Therefore, we’re prepared to leave her out of our Railway picks.
(5) Sacred Satono (Best Roughie – $12.00)
He has been threatening to win a race this season, including running second behind Grail Seeker in the Telegraph last start.
A big race win is coming soon and it could come on Saturday, so take the value odds.
(6) Master Fay ($35.00)
A nice enough type on his day and but we think he might be a group three-level runner. As the odds suggest, he shouldn’t be winning.
(7) Luberon ($8.00)
We’re not sure what happened to her in the Telegraph when running last. Her form prior was much better, so we’re giving her another chance.
He’s an awesome horse on his day, and although she has problems upstairs, she is too good to leave out.
(8) Platinum Attack ($31.00)
He appears to be outclassed against this company, and we would feel more comfortable backing him going the other way around.
(9) Babylon Berlin (Best Each Way – $8.00)
She’s awfully tough to beat when she leads, and she comes off a gutsy win over Waitak at Ellerslie.
Missing the Telegraph could be the best thing for her, and with three wins and five placings at Ellerslie, she loves the track.
Take the each-way odds from bookmakers.
(10) Poetic Champion ($17.00)
He won well fresh up, but the three-year-old needs to improve lengths on that to beat the class runners of this field.
(11) Captured by Love ($8.50)
She ran down Alabama Lass over the mile to win the NZ 1000 Guineas, but dropping back to 1200m helps her less than Alabama Lass.
Craig Williams riding helps her cause, and she’s a first four chance but we like the other filly more.
(12) Alabama Lass (Best Bet – $3.20)
She was found out over the mile last start but her class was enough to see her run second. Back to 1200m, where she owns a win and a placing, she should feel right at home.
She defeated Captured by Love over 1200m at Hastings three back, so that’s the best form guide for the Sistema Railway.
