Winterbottom Stakes Form Guide & Tips
(1) Overpass (Best Bet – $2.90)
Overpass is unbeaten from three starts at Ascot, and he’s a proven Group 1 winner at this carnival.
The six-year-old son of Vancouver is shooting for his 10th win, and we’re not surprised by the shortening odds available.
Barrier 16 hurts but he’s the class act.
(2) Western Empire ($4.60)
Knocking on the door is Western Empire, who ran second behind Rope Them In last time out.
We’re not sure if that’s the best form guide for this race, but we can’t overlook the money coming for him, and Pike rides.
(3) Red Can Man ($67.00)
His effort for sixth wasn’t good enough fresh up and that’s reflected in betting markets. We can’t see him figuring in the finish.
(4) Hot Zed ($81.00)
He’s in the same boat as Red Can Man. The talent is there but he’s not showing it consistently enough to win at Group 1 level.
(5) Maharba ($9.00)
He went to a new level when winning on Derby Day at Flemington. It was a good win over Rey Magnerio, and that form stacks up well.
Punters get value odds from bookmakers and we’re happy to include him in our trifecta and first four selections.
(6) Saloon Bar ($23.00)
A good winner at Belmont four back before adding three consecutive placings.
Drawing wide isn’t ideal and there are better bets available in this race.
(7) Man Crush ($81.00)
His recent efforts haven’t been good enough. We’re not interested in the big odds available in what is a tough Group 1 for outsiders to win.
(8) Snowdome ($61.00)
His best form comes at Ascot with six wins and five placings from 17 starts, and his form at the distance is good too.
However, we would prefer to wait for him to race in something easier.
(9) Rope Them In ($13.00)
He showed a good turn-of-foot to win at Ascot last time out when beating Western Empire.
His best form comes with a touch of moisture in the surface, and although we can’t see him winning, he could run in the money.
(10) Boots Like Bruce ($101.00)
His form was good last preparation with three consecutive wins, but he hasn’t done much this time in.
(11) Bravo Centurion (Best Roughie – $11.00)
A real winner with six consecutive wins, and although this is a rise in class, confidence levels should be high.
If he gets cover from out wide, he could be too tough to get past. He’ll likely head forward and try to run them into the ground.
(12) Rockin’ Rupert ($61.00)
His second-up form reads well but not at this level. He would need to improve significantly to win at Group 1 level.
(13) Almighty Class ($21.00)
Couldn’t quite make it three wins on the bounce last start but it was a solid effort all the same.
We’re happy to include him in first four selections at the double-figure odds.
(14) Crippalenko ($151.00)
At big odds and rightfully so. Looks tested.
(15) Lady Laguna (Best Each Way – $5.00)
Not far away down the straight at Flemington and this is an easier field, so we’re taking the each-way odds.
Having James McDonald in the saddle in the saddle only helps her chances of winning the big race.
(16) Laced Up Heels ($71.00)
Out of form and she shouldn’t be getting close to them.
