Best Odds provided

Top Pick: 

2. French Lolly

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

$3.50 with VicBet

Quick Analysis:

French Lolly went close to breaking his maiden at this track and trip last time out, when he came second by 0.75L. He draws barrier one this time, which should hopefully seal the deal. Trainer Olivia Osborne has been in somewhat of a purple patch at the moment, so French Lolly is the one I want to be on.

Top Pick: 

1. From The Peak

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

$2.05 with Dabble

Quick Analysis:

I like the look of From The Peak for this one in Scone. She did fade last time out to finish in third place, 0.54L off the leader, but will be fitter for that run under her belt. She also gets back to non-metro class; she shouldn’t find the competition as stiff. She’s the deserved favourite in my eyes.

Top Pick: 

3. Vixenette

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

$2.45 with PlayUp

Quick Analysis:

In the last today at Ballarat Synthetic, I’m going with Vixenette. Last time out, Vixenette finished second at the same track. She gets an extra 100m in this one, which looks ideal. The winner in that last time out run did have the fitness edge, so Vixenette did have excuses. Harry Coffey retains the ride as well.
