Exotic Bets of the Day
Exacta - Yarra Valley - R6
1st: 2, 3, 5, 6
2nd: 2, 3, 5, 6
Scottie's Legacy: She has a 100% place record after finishing in the top 3 from her first 4 races. This should be another race where she can potentially get her 2nd win.
Anthurium: Anthurium showed promise at Kyneton on December 12, finishing 2nd out of 8 in a BM58 on a good track, just 0.4 lengths behind Shezavixen (60kg) with 59.5kg at $4.20. With that run under its belt, Anthurium is expected to improve and I think is a strong contender for this race.
Outcaster: Good record at the track and distance. Could be dangerous if he uses the inside barrier to her advantage.
Zaaffair Steal: A bit of a roughie but Jamie Mott on board gives me confidence. She has placed in 3 of 5 starts in the saddle when she rides this mare.
Exacta - Yarra Valley - R7
1st: 6, 9, 1, 10
2nd: 6, 9, 1, 10
Shooter Mcgavin: I like the form of Shooter Mcgavin for Race 7 at Yarra Valley on Thursday. Won at Werribee over 1412m on December 21.
The Marg Factor: In good form and has strong claims to win on Thursday. Last start was a good one, placing 2nd in a RST64 at Cranbourne over 1400m.
Eskimo: Last start, Eskimo was 9th of 11 at Moonee Valley on December 6 over 1600m on a good track, 7.8 lengths behind Presser (59.5kg) with 60.5kg at $8.50. But it should improve here.
Fort William: Coming off a run at this track and should be better for the run on Thursday.
Exacta - Muswellbrook - R5
1st: 11, 2, 4, 10
2nd: 11, 2, 4, 10
Bella Corazon: Should enjoy the step up to 1500m for the first time and she’ll be fitter third-up too.
Dale: In its latest run at Scone Mdn on December 18, it held its ground and snagged 4th place out of 13, not too bad.
Navy Buoy: Managed to place in his first career run at Canberra last start. So he should be better for the experience and could be in the mix.
Atomic Gozen: She has struggled this prep but hopefully she can find a bit of form third-up.
