Sale tips and results

Our price $3.20 · SP $3.30 · Luke Currie

Meleys brings the strongest recent form, finishing a narrow second at Echuca over 1300m on similar soft ground. The wide barrier is a concern, but with her backmarker style and the likely moderate tempo, she should get time to find position. Luke Currie is a positive jockey booking.

Our price $6.00 · SP $6.00 · Beau Mertens

Tisseyre brings solid credentials with a last-start 2nd at Moe over 1217m on a Soft 7 surface. The inside barrier is advantageous given the track bias favoring inside gates. Her soft track record (1:0-1-0) suggests she'll handle conditions, and Beau Mertens is a positive jockey booking. The step up in distance should suit based on her running style.

Our price $5.50 · SP $12.00 · Daniel Stackhouse

Sky Deel represents excellent value returning from a spell with a significant class drop from Listed company. The Dundeel progeny typically appreciate this distance range, and Daniel Stackhouse is a positive jockey booking. The moderate tempo should allow him to settle and finish strongly.

Our price $2.80 · SP $2.50 · Ethan Brown

The moderate-fast tempo should suit a horse settling midfield, and Ethan Brown is a quality jockey who can navigate from the slightly awkward barrier.

Our price $7.00 · SP $16.00 · Beau Mertens

Drawing well in barrier 5 should allow her to secure a good position, and Maher is known for having his horses ready to fire fresh.

Our price $2.80 · SP $3.80 · Billy Egan

The significant class drop from previous racing is a major positive, and the addition of blinkers first time could be the catalyst for a breakthrough win. Billy Egan is a quality jockey booking and the horse handles soft tracks well with two seconds from two starts on soft going.

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.50 · Teodore Nugent

The mare is well-drawn in barrier 5 and carries a manageable 57.5kg. While inexperienced with just one start, she showed enough ability first-up to suggest she can be competitive here with natural improvement.

Our price $6.00 · SP $5.50 · Ethan Brown

Fortysecondstreet has shown ability with a third placing from three starts and should improve second-up today after a disappointing first-up run. The mare is well-drawn in barrier 7 with quality jockey Ethan Brown aboard and carries a light weight of 57.5kg. While untested at this distance and track, she has the potential to improve significantly from her last start.

Our price $8.00 · SP $12.00 · Koby Jennings

Newcombe offers excellent value as a consistent placegetter resuming from a spell. His first-up record includes a second placing, and he has previous experience at Sale with a placing.

Our price $6.50 · SP $9.50 · Teodore Nugent

Chronic brings consistency and experience to this maiden field with three recent 4th placings. The wide barrier is a concern, but Teodore Nugent should be able to navigate a path.

Our price $5.00 · SP $8.50 · Ethan Brown

Fabulous Fiano showed promise on debut at this track and should improve significantly second-up. The Gavin Bedggood-trained gelding has drawn perfectly in barrier 2, which is advantageous given the track bias favoring inside barriers.

Our price $4.20 · SP $6.50 · Luke Cartwright

Lightly-raced gelding resuming from spell but with excellent second-up record. Has shown ability at this track and distance previously. Main query is the class rise but has the talent to measure up.

Our price $8.00 · SP $12.00 · Craig Newitt

Experienced mare with excellent track statistics and proven ability at this distance. Craig Newitt knows her well. Main concerns are the soft track conditions where she's yet to win and the 31-day freshen-up. Still, her track expertise makes her a genuine contender.

Our price $9.00 · SP $9.50 · Ben Allen

Has a good record at the trip with two wins and four placings from 13 attempts. While drawn wide, he performs well on soft tracks and gets a slight class drop. The gear change (cross-over nose band off, nose roll again) is a consideration, but Ben Allen's familiarity with the horse is a plus.

Our price $15.00 · SP $15.00 · Hannah Edgley

Manhattan Thunder represents excellent value as a first-up specialist with two wins from four attempts when fresh. While drawn awkwardly, his soft track form is encouraging and the 2kg claim from Hannah Edgley helps offset the weight.

Our price $2.20 · SP $2.35 · Luke Cartwright

Perfect Picture brings strong recent form with a close 2nd last start at Sandown over 1300m. She's dropping in class here and gets weight relief, carrying just 56.5kg. Her racing pattern suggests she'll settle midfield and be suited by the likely fast tempo. With consistent form and a good barrier draw, she represents the best winning chance in this field.

Our price $5.50 · SP $7.00 · Daniel Stackhouse

His record on soft tracks is impressive (1-1-1 from 5) and he's well-weighted with 58kg. From the Freedman stable, he's ready to peak third-up and should be right in the finish.
