Sale tips and results

Our price $6.00 · SP $9.00 · Melea Castle

The D Meagher-trained gelding draws the inside barrier which is advantageous at Sale, and drops significantly in class from open company. Second-up today after a solid run at Pakenham, and should be able to use his early speed from the inside gate. The fast tempo predicted should suit his on-pace style.

Our price $3.80 · SP $5.00 · Luke Nolen

His first-up record shows promise with a placing, and he gets an ideal draw in barrier 3 which should allow him to settle midfield with cover. The Moody/Coleman stable knows how to prepare a horse fresh, and Luke Nolen is riding in good form with a 15% strike rate from his last 20 rides.

Our price $5.00 · SP $9.50 · Jye McNeil

The booking of Jye McNeil (17% strike rate at Sale) is a strong positive indicator. From barrier 9, he should be able to find a midfield position with cover in a race with likely fast tempo.

Our price $12.00 · SP $11.00 · Celine Gaudray

First-up from a spell, he's likely to show improvement as a developing 3yo. Jockey Celine Gaudray is in good form with a 15% strike rate from her last 20 rides.

Our price $7.00 · SP $10.00 · Zac Spain

Our price $51.00 · SP $41.00 · Teodore Nugent

While recent form has been modest, he's a track specialist at Sale with 2 wins, 1 place and 6 thirds from 24 starts. Also performs well at the 1400m distance with 1 win, 1 second and 5 thirds from 24 attempts.

Our price $6.00 · SP $9.00 · Logan Bates

The addition of winkers for the first time should help him focus better in the straight. Logan Bates knows the horse well having ridden him in two of his last three starts. Should be finishing strongly with the genuine tempo expected.

Our price $8.00 · SP $16.00 · Patrick Moloney

Experienced mare who has been knocking on the door with a strong 2nd last start at Seymour over 1600m. Has a strong record at around this distance with 2 seconds from 4 starts at 1400m. Patrick Moloney is riding in excellent form with 4 wins from his last 20 rides.

Our price $4.50 · SP $9.00 · Jye McNeil

His consistent form line (3-3-5) shows he's holding his condition well, and the step up to the mile should suit his racing pattern. The appointment of Jye McNeil (17% strike rate at Sale) is significant, and this sweeping track with its long straight will play to his finishing strength.

Our price $3.20 · SP $2.15 · Olivia East

He's dropping in class from his last preparation where he was competitive in stronger races, including a close second at Geelong in BM66 grade. Has placed at Sale previously and should appreciate the long straight, though the 59kg is a query first-up.

Our price $5.00 · SP $2.80 · Emily Pozman

Gold Medallist brings an unblemished record of 4 wins from 4 starts and has shown versatility across different track conditions. The mare is first-up from a spell but has won fresh previously and has a perfect record with jockey Emily Pozman (2 from 2). The lightweight of 55kg is advantageous, though barrier 8 is slightly awkward at Sale.

Our price $2.50 · SP $2.25 · Beau Mertens

Don't Russia brings strong credentials with excellent Sale form (6: 2-2-0) including a win at this track/distance. Drops significantly in class from BM66/BM80 races and has drawn perfectly for the expected fast tempo. The 60.5kg is offset by the class drop and Beau Mertens' experience.

Our price $3.20 · SP $3.40 · Thomas Stockdale

Second-up now with a solid record at this stage of preparation. Has consistent form at the distance (6: 1-1-1) and handles Good tracks well. Well-drawn in barrier 4 with Thomas Stockdale aboard, who knows the horse well. Should be right in the finish despite the expected fast tempo.

Our price $12.00 · SP $13.00 · Bree Temple

Drops significantly in class from BM66 grade and has a consistent record at this distance (20: 3-3-3).
