Armidale racing tips

—

Race 1. (14:25) Armidale Cup Day 13th March Maiden (1300m)

#3 – Bride Wars @ $3.80

BET NOW

Bride Wars has only one placing to her name after eight starts, but she can go close in the opening race.

The four-year-old mare by Deep Field ran third at Armidale two starts back before finishing seventh last start, and getting back to Armidale should help.

Look for her to push forward and battle on gamely.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (15:00) XXXX Gold BM58 (1900m)

#4 – Gold Capital @ $1.95

BET NOW

Money has come for Gold Capital at short odds, who looks to turn around a disappointing effort at Randwick.

The four-year-old son of Capitalist was given a touch task in town last start, but his win at Scone two back is the best form guide.

We rated him at $1.65, so it could pay to take the current odds.

Stake: 3 Units

Race 3. (15:35) Hahn Super Dry C2 (1400m)

#5 – Need a Miracle @ $2.25

BET NOW

Looking to cap off consecutive placings with a win is Need a Miracle, who is knocking on the door of an overdue win.

The six-year-old has two wins from 28 starts, but he has yet to finish out of the money in three attempts at Armidale.

This is his best chance to score an overdue win.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (16:10) Stone & Wood Maiden (1100m)

#2 – Sipping Shamus @ $3.60

BET NOW

Sipping Shamus showed good speed in two runs last preparation when finishing second at Muswellbrook and Tamworth.

The four-year-old son of Shamus Award hasn’t needed a trial to prepare for this race, so trainer Rodney Northam has him ready to fire.

He’s good enough to beat the current favourite.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (16:50) James Squire Ginger Beer C1 (1300m)

#3 – Great Cosmic @ $7.50

BET NOW

The four-year-old son of Cosmic Force won well on debut before getting back to solid form this preparation.

He ran fourth at Scone before running fifth at Tamworth, and with those runs under his belt, he should be going closer to winning.

Punters get value odds in what should be an even contest.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (17:30) Tooheys New BM58 (1100m)

#4 – Quick Sharp @ $3.50

BET NOW

Quick Sharp wasn’t far away when running third fresh up at Tamworth, which should be the best form guide for this race.

The four-year-old daughter of Bull Point owns a win and three placings from seven starts, and getting 2kg off her back is a bonus.

She is quick enough to put them away at each-way odds.

Stake: 1.5 Units
