Devonport Synthetic tips and results

Our price $7.00 · SP $19.00 · D M Ganderton

Two wins from four at Devonport Synthetic including a front-running success over this exact course and distance in Class 4 on 2026-06-28. His tenth placing last start came with a stewards' vet certificate for respiratory issues, so it can be forgiven. He maps to sit third behind the leaders which is the winning pattern here. The 4kg swing in weight since his course win and a record showing three wins but zero placings from ten starts limit confidence to a place assessment.

Our price $2.10 · SP $3.40 · Kirra-Lee Lane

Add the lightest weight (54.0kg with the claim), gate 4, visors first time and a rider with a 17% strike here, and the 200m drop looks a positive rather than a query.

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.60 · C Newitt

Assessed on the debutant framework rather than penalised for the absence of race form. The reservation is tactical: the map has her settling back on a course that punishes backmarkers, so she may need Newitt to bustle her forward.

Our price $2.80 · SP $3.40 · Christopher Pang

The most consistent and best-credentialled runner in a weak maiden. Barrier 4 and early speed let her sit closer than her map suggests on a slow tempo. The 1650m is the only genuine query; class and weight relief outweigh it.

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.60 · D M Ganderton

Against that, he has never placed in 8 starts, weakened from the front last time, humps 58.5kg and is ridden by a jockey with no local record.

The value angle.

Our price $7.50 · SP $19.00 · Christopher Pang

The weight-relief runner of the race. Cherokee Dancer humped 59.5kg when fourth behind Hartman over this trip a fortnight ago and now meets him roughly 4kg better at just 52.5kg. Devonport form of 10:4-2-2 and two wins from four at the trip is genuine. The reservations are the map — she settles midfield into a slow tempo on a strongly on-pace circuit — and a jockey out of touch, so she is a place proposition.

Our price $8.00 · SP $7.50 · Carleen Hefel

The value angle in a small field. Alpine Wolf's Devonport Synthetic record of 11:3-4-2 is the strongest surface profile in the race, and he is first up off a record of 10:2-2-2 fresh, so no excuses on fitness.

Our price $3.00 · SP $3.30 · E Byrne Burke

She is the only runner with a win at today's exact course and distance, her second-up statistics read 2 starts for 1 win and 1 second, and she returns to the blinkers-off gear she wore when winning here. Her first-up third over 1009m was strong given she led and the trip was short of her best. Jockey form is the one soft spot.

Our price $6.00 · SP $10.00 · C Newitt

Her track and distance record reads 3 starts for 1 win and 1 third, and Newitt, who steered that win, strikes at 33% here. The negatives are real - 59kg top weight, a class rise out of maiden grade, and a finishing style the track bias historically punishes.

Our price $3.40 · SP $4.20 · Robyn Lynch

Clear main danger. The 4kg weight swing improves his appeal and he has already proven he can control proceedings around Devonport. The negatives are a largely unproven rider and only one win from nine starts, but the low-weight on-pace profile suits this biased circuit.

Our price $6.80 · SP $8.00 · A Darmanin

Won his maiden over this C&D two weeks ago and is one-from-one at both the track and distance, with Anthony Darmanin retaining the ride. The concern is the rise to Class 1 under top weight of 59kg; his win was narrow and the prior form away from synthetic is modest. Still, the effective synthetic form and strong stable/jockey link give him a place chance ahead of the unproven synthetic runners.

Our price $9.50 · SP $10.00 · Carleen Hefel

She raced in a Class 2 here a week ago and hit the line for fourth, now drops to Class 1 and adds blinkers for the first time.

Our price $3.40 · SP $4.40 · D M Ganderton

The Longest Yard is the clear form pick: he won an Open race over 1650m here last start, holding off several of today's rivals, and boasts a strong Dport Synthetic record. Barrier 1 is an asset in a race with little genuine early pace.

Our price $10.00 · SP $10.00 · Chloe Wells

He is the likely leader in a slowly run race, which is a major edge on this on-pace synthetic circuit. His last two runs can be excused as too far, and the drop back to 1880m makes him the best-value runner.
