Devonport Synthetic tips and results

Our price $10.00 · SP $11.00 · T Baker

Alpine Blast is an established Devonport Synthetic specialist with 48 career starts at the track and 9 wins; over this exact 1650m trip he has 10 starts for 2 wins and 6 placings.

Our price $8.00 · SP $10.00 · Lauryn Bingley

She comes from the inside gate, carries only 52kg, and trialled well in July, but her recent raceday form is ordinary and she has no synthetic form.

Our price $2.38 · SP $1.80 · E Byrne Burke

City Wok is the clear form horse, having won his last two starts on this surface, including a 1350m Class 1 at this track/distance on 26 Aug. He maps to settle just behind the speed from gate 4, ideal on a track where on-pace runners dominate. He meets Bella Chinkara again with nearly identical conditions and a superior synthetic profile.

Our price $6.67 · SP $14.00 · Lauryn Bingley

Fierce 'n Fabulous has the on-pace map this track rewards, drawing 3 and settling near the speed. Recent form is mixed with a 6th at Hobart, but she returns to a more suitable surface and trip with a 2kg claim. Rates third on win chance.

Our price $6.00 · SP $9.50 · Robyn Lynch

Kakia is the solid third pick. He has been competitive in tougher grades than this, finishing 2nd in a Class 5 and 3rd in a BM68 recently. His racing pattern maps well from barrier 2, and he is proven enough on synthetic to place. He may lack the finishing zip of the top two, but rates ahead of the unproven-on-synthetic Sh'bourne Power.

Our price $8.50 · SP $8.50 · Liana Wood

Stone Cold Stunner is the value runner. She is a proven course-and-distance performer and faces the easiest class assignment she has seen recently.

Our price $6.00 · SP $4.20 · C Newitt

Guber is consistent, with 7 placings from 13 Devonport Synthetic starts, including a second and two thirds from three attempts at 1350m. His lack of a win in 22 starts counts against him for top honours, but his track affinity makes him a solid place option behind the two higher-ranked chances.

Our price $6.00 · SP $6.00 · Chloe Wells

Sir William has the map advantage as the likely leader, which is the most profitable pattern at Devonport Synthetic. The winkers go on and barrier 8 is manageable if he crosses without over-racing.

Our price $10.00 · SP $15.00 · Hayley Mc Carthy

She has improved sharply this preparation, culminating in a close third at Hobart, and maps favourably from barrier 3. The main query is first exposure to Devonport Synthetic, but her on-pace/midfield style and low-grade consistency should keep her in the finish.

Our price $12.00 · SP $31.00 · Lauryn Bingley

Mobilo is an unraced four-year-old who has shown enough at the trials to be respected, especially from barrier 1 on an inside-dominated track. He is a place contender rather than a strong win chance, with the biggest concerns being no race-day experience and a modest rider/trainer record.

Our price $14.00 · SP $16.00 · Indi Bowles

Our price $3.50 · SP $6.00 · Indi Bowles

The concerns are her winless synthetic and 1150m records plus the wider gate, but her class edge and consistency make her the most likely winner.

Our price $5.50 · SP $11.00 · Kirra-Lee Lane

Zoete's Rock has the strongest course and distance profile in the field with three 1150m wins at Devonport Synthetic. From barrier 4 he should settle closer than his recent backmarker pattern, and Kirra-Lee Lane is a strong track rider.

Our price $6.50 · SP $9.00 · Liana Wood

I'm Chev is the standout value play: he is second-up with a strong 2-from-4 record, drops from BM64 to BM60, and ran a much improved race when second over this track and trip on August 26.

Our price $3.80 · SP $6.00 · C Newitt

Sushi Express is the most reliable winning chance. He has two wins from two starts at this exact 1650m Devonport Synthetic trip and comes off consecutive Open placings, leading and fighting on. With only one genuine leader and a slow tempo likely, C Newitt can control the race from barrier 4.

Our price $4.20 · SP $2.50 · A Darmanin

He returned from a spell with a third then bolted in at BM68 over 1600m, leading throughout. He gets a big weight drop to 54kg and Darmanin is riding well. The query is class: he steps up to Open company and was only third in a BM68 over this C&D in July. Still, his on-pace pattern and fitness make him the main threat to Sushi Express.

Our price $5.00 · SP $11.00 · E Byrne Burke

Bruny Boy led throughout to break his maiden by 3 lengths at Devonport Synthetic, exactly the style that wins here. He steps up to 1880m and Class 1, but has every chance to control a moderate tempo from barrier 4. The main concern is 59kg and the stamina query, yet his low mileage and positive pattern make him the logical second pick.

Our price $5.50 · SP $3.80 · Robyn Lynch

However, his usual backmarker style is a negative on Devonport's on-pace circuit, and the stable has opted for a less experienced rider while E Byrne Burke is on stablemate Bruny Boy.
