Sapphire Coast tips and results

Our price $2.50 · SP $1.65 · Nick Heywood

First-starter from the Matthew Dale stable who appears well-placed in this maiden. The jockey-trainer combination has a solid 15% strike rate, and the inside barrier draw is advantageous at Sapphire Coast. The likely fast tempo should allow this runner to find a good position.

Our price $4.00 · SP $14.00 · Pierre Boudvillain

First-up runner from the Danielle Seib stable resuming from a 114-day spell. Despite having no wins from two starts, showed improvement in his second start when finishing 4th at Orange over 1400m.

Our price $2.20 · SP $2.70 · Coriah Keatings

Lightly-raced gelding with impressive winning strike rate dropping back in class after a dominant win at Wagga. Has a perfect second-up record and draws ideally in barrier 2. The significant class drop is the key factor, and Keatings knows him well with 2 wins from 5 rides.

Our price $3.50 · SP $6.50 · Damon Budler

Progressive filly coming off a strong win at Cowra over this distance. While drawn slightly awkwardly in barrier 7, her racing pattern suggests she'll get back and run on strongly, which should suit the likely fast tempo. Budler has ridden her before and the stable is in good form.

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.50 · Pierre Boudvillain

Our price $4.20 · SP $9.00 · Damon Budler

C'mon Wicksy brings solid form with a recent 3rd at Albury when resuming. His second-up record shows a placing, suggesting improvement here. The barrier 4 draw is advantageous, and he should be able to settle on-pace in a race where the track bias favors leaders. The main concern is the top weight of 59kg, but his consistency and tactical position make him a genuine contender.

Our price $3.80 · SP $8.00 · Claire Ramsbotham

Lambay brings solid credentials with a perfect 1-from-1 record at this track. His recent form is strong with a close 2nd at Moruya two starts back over 1300m.

The Joseph & Jones stable is in good form and Claire Ramsbotham knows how to get the best from their runners.

Our price $6.00 · SP $26.00 · Jess Taylor

Chasing A Quid brings solid recent form with a close 2nd at Canberra last start over 1300m. His distance record is excellent with 4 wins from 16 starts at 1200m.

Our price $7.00 · SP $11.00 · Shaun Guymer

While his overall record is modest, his recent form suggests he's ready to peak third-up. Well-weighted with 55.5kg and drawn favorably in barrier 4, he should get an ideal run just off the pace in what looks to be a fast-tempo race.

Our price $4.50 · SP $11.00 · Grant Buckley

Dumebi brings solid recent form with a win two starts back at Moruya and a 4th last start in the same race as several rivals. While untested at the mile, his racing pattern suggests the distance will suit. The Buckley/Beer combination has a strong 28% strike rate and from barrier 4 with just 54kg, he should get an ideal run.

Our price $9.00 · SP $12.00 · Jess Taylor

Her record at the distance is solid (4:1-2-1) and she's been racing consistently with placings in her last two starts. While she doesn't win often, she's rarely far away and her familiarity with the track is a significant advantage. Jess Taylor knows her well with 4 previous rides.

While stepping up to 1400m is a query with just 3 previous attempts, his one placing at the trip suggests he can handle it. The gelding is in career-best form and should get a nice run midfield from barrier 7, with the likely fast tempo suiting his running style.

Our price $5.00 · SP $16.00 · Rochelle Wedrat-Kroezen

His last start 3rd at Wagga in the same race as our top selection was full of merit, and he gets a 5kg weight advantage over Remadosi here.

The gelding is building nicely this preparation and should appreciate the likely fast tempo, making him an attractive each-way proposition.
