Benalla 30th August, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Race 1
5
Isles of Avalon $2.25
Isles of Avalon looks to have a come back a very nice filly after some nice jumpouts to get her ready for a return to the races.
She has had two career starts with her first effort being at Listed level and her second being in Group 3 company at Morphettville.
The filly looks a capable type and the map here looks favourable despite drawing the wide barrier.
She has shown good speed at both her starts, but looks to be a better racehorse this time around.
Next Best - Race 4
10
Gobbled $2.5
Gobbled put in a huge run last start when attempting to lead at a hot speed all the way at Geelong over 1400 metres.
The Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr. trained three-year-old gelding showed a heap of improvement in that effort with the blinkers clearly doing the trick.
He was only run down late a by smart horse called Venting and that form line looks fairly strong for a maiden of this quality.
Craig Newitt stays aboard and he will get all the favours out in front.
Best Roughie - Race 7
7
Anchorman $14/$3.8
Anchorman put in a solid performance when resuming from a spell last start and looks set to improve coming back in grade.
He ran midfield behind El Guerrouj at Sale when settling midfield and grinding away up the straight to battle into sixth spot.
The drop back to BM-58 grade from BM-64 should see him closer in the finish this time around and it must be noted he did start a $5 elect last time he raced in this grade.
He is yet to miss a place from two attempts at the track and is worth an each-way gamble at the odds.
