Gosford racing tips

—

Race 1. (13:50) Baydole Maiden (1000m)

#6 – I Am Gone @ $2.45

BET NOW

I Am Gone has been well-backed to make a winning return after finishing fifth on debut at Kembla Grange.

The three-year-old filly by Extreme Choice comes off a second placing at the Randwick trials, and after opening at $3.80, the money has come.

We’re happy to include her at the current price.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (14:25) TNT Plumbing & Drainage Maiden (1600m)

#3 – Velia @ $3.90

BET NOW

Boasting three placings from six starts is Velia, who ran second at Gosford last time out, and having form on the track helps.

The four-year-old mare by Magna Grecia meets a tricky maiden field, but running over 1600m is ideal, and she won’t take long to win a race.

We’re happy to keep backing her until she does.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 3. (15:05) Airpak Sheetmetal BM64 (1600m)

#8 – De Louviere @ $2.90

BET NOW

Seeking back-to-back wins is De Louviere, who scored by a half-length at Canberra.

The Matthew Smith-trained gelding owns two wins and five placings overall, including a win at Gosford, so everything points towards a win.

Getting in with 55.5kg is enough to take him close.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (15:40) JT Project Maiden (1200m)

#8 – Attractiveness @ $3.00

BET NOW

Attractiveness should be better for its debut run for fourth at Canterbury, and this is a more suitable target.

The three-year-old filly had good betting support to win that tough maiden race, and she is paying better value this time around.

Take the $3 before the money comes for her late on race day.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (16:20) Bishop Collins Chartered Accountants C1 (1200m)

#6 – Spice Baby @ $3.20

BET NOW

Spice Baby won on debut at Moruya before posting three consecutive third placings, and she made late ground behind a nice type last start.

The three-year-old filly by Tassort placed behind Confess Our Dreams, and we expect that form to stack up nicely this season.

This is an ideal target, and she should be competitive.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (16:55) Penmans Lawyers BM64 (1100m)

#2 – Oceans One @ $10.00

BET NOW

Punters get value odds for Oceans One, who won at Wyong three back, and that win is a good form guide for this race.

The seven-year-old son of Super One runs his best races at Gosford with a win and two placings from three starts, so that’s a bonus.

He should give punters a good sight at value odds.

Stake: 1 Unit
