William Reid Stakes Form Guide & Tips
(1) Jimmysstar (Best Bet – $2.90)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'He comes off a blistering win at Caulfield when beating many of his rivals here, so we’re sticking with the former Kiwi runner.
The five-year-old has turned his form around nicely and running over 1200m looks ideal. He didn’t fully enjoy longer distances, and dropping in distance has worked a treat.
Barrier two is ideal and he’s the one to beat.
(2) Maharba (Best Roughie – $18.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'It could pay to forgive Marhaba’s most recent run down the Flemington straight. He’s much better around a turn and he boasts a win and a placing at The Valley.
Getting the inside draw is ideal and the odds are far too good to overlook.
(3) Rey Magnerio ($13.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'His good form came to an end last time out and that’s a concern. He has always been a confidence runner but his preparation might have come to an end.
(4) Schwarz ($9.50)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'He’s another runner that ran too poorly to be true last start when finishing last at Caulfield.
The four-year-old is a past winner at The Valley and he should settle handy to the pace from barrier five, so we’re happy to include him in our William Reid Stakes picks.
(5) Benedetta ($7.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'She didn’t fire at shot at Flemington but she could enjoy her first run at Moonee Valley. The tight-turning track should help her, and she should push forward and be tough to hold out.
She owns eight wins from 18 starts and she’s a four-time winner over 1200m, so we expect her to run well at each-way odds.
(6) Stretan Angel ($8.50)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Money came for Stretan Angel when running third last start, but she gets no favours from the tricky draw.
We would prefer to back her in something slightly easier, and there hasn’t been the same betting support this time around.
(7) She’s Bulletproof (Best Each Way – $5.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'She lost no admirers when running second behind Jimmysstar last time out, and she’s good enough to turn the tables.
The four-year-old mare has yet to finish worse than second at The Valley and she owns four wins and four placings at the distance.
Craig Williams rides and we can’t leave her out.
(8) Reserve Bank ($27.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'He doesn’t get into the race well off at the weights and we can’t see him running well enough to beat this field, hence the big odds.
(9) Arabian Summer ($12.00)
Use Code: 'GOBET500'She is a nice filly on the rise with wins at Gold Coast and Caulfield this preparation. She ran fifth behind Jimmysstar last time out and carrying 54kg is ideal.
Punters get value odds and she’s well worth including in picks.
