Echuca October 11th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Race 3
10
The Amazonian $2.8
The speed map, blinkers and getting onto good ground are what stand out with The Amazonian in this maiden event over the mile.
Craig Newitt should able to find the front with relative ease, set a good clip in the lead, get all her rivals chasing from a long way out, boot clear and prove too good.
Her main rival De La Fayette maps to be at least four to six lengths behind her on a track that will favour horses who draw closer to or in the lead.
Next Best - Race 4
8
Wild About Harry $3.2
Wild About Harry should be favourite in this race after two respectable runs to begin his career.
The run at Geelong was better than what is looked after he was smashed from $7 into $3.20 favourite.
He got out the back in a high-pressure race which busted him wide open and he was chasing from a very long way out.
That run is going to him the world of good and coming back to country grade will only enhance his chances.
Has the freshness in his legs as a lightly-raced compared to most of this field and that will be his advantage here.
Best Roughie - Race 7
4
Pinot Party $17/$4
Andrew Bobbin’s training technique of finding tried horses from other stables might just very well pay dividends again here as he saddles up Pinot Party.
The former Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) galloper had been running around in some fairly competitive BM-64 races around the city and provincial circuits and now finds himself in a fairly weak country race.
This is the first run for the new stable, so expect him to improve with more racing, but Bobbin usually has them forward enough to run well.
He has booked stable apprentice Sheridan Clarke to take the 4kgs off this galloper after being allotted the 65kgs due to the class drop.
Looks a good each-way play considering how well Bobbin goes at getting these horses back into form.
