Recommended Bet Type:

Each-Way

Quick Analysis:

For the Group Three Geelong Cup, I’m siding with Onesmoothoperator, who presents decent enough each-way value. He hasn’t exactly done a lot recently, but he has been competing against some stiff competition in high-class races. The 8YO won the race last year, and the quality of this year’s edition looks about the same level.

Quick Analysis:

While under even money doesn’t exactly scream value, there is a lot to like about Pharoah's Prophecy, and I can’t really make a good case for any of the competitors. The gelding has a career record of 8:2-1-3, and I think he is ready to right the wrongs of finishing third as the favourite last time out at Doomben.

Quick Analysis:

Heading to Warwick Farm now, and I’ll be on Captain Maverick in Race 5. It’s a field of just eight for this one, and Captain Maverick is the favourite, but there’s still a smidge of value. The gelding finished second at this track last time out, and drops back just 90m for this one. Gets the services of Nash Rawiller, which is a big tick.

Stats and Insights

  • tip
    Frosty Girl resumes after a break and was impressive winning last start at Kensington. She is perfectly placed to pick up where she left off in Race 2 at Warwick Farm.
  • tip
    Spicy Thang is on a seven-day turnaround with gear changes that could sharpen her up. She's in clear danger in Race 5 at Belmont.
  • tip
    Stoli Bolli has been strong down the Flemington straight in recent runs. He is perfectly drawn and ideally placed to bounce back in Race 8 at Geelong.
