Gosford racing tips

—

Race 1. (15:20) Abba Race Day 17 Jan C1 (2100m)

#4 – Spenzalot @ $1.95

BET NOW

Spenzalot comes off consecutive second placings at Scone and Beaumont, which is good enough form for this race.

The four-year-old son of Casino Prince is due a win after a run of outs, but there isn’t much to this field, so he could take advantage.

Having Aaron Bullock riding makes him even harder to beat.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 3. (16:40) Tanti Financial Services Maiden (1200m)

#8 – Oakfield Universe @ $5.50

BET NOW

Oakfield Universe showed improvement when running second at Wyong last start, and she isn’t far off posting a win.

The four-year-old mare by Written Tycoon was no match for the winner, but the Oakfield runners are going well this season, and this race isn’t any harder.

Getting $5.50 makes her a worthwhile play.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (17:20) The Ciaran Curley Cup C1 (1600m)

#2 – Federal Reserve @ $2.90

BET NOW

The three-year-old gelding owns a win and three placings from six starts, and having four starts under his belt this prep is why we’re backing him.

He’s rock-hard fit, and that should give him the edge to beat this field, and getting the inside draw doesn’t hurt.

Take the current odds before the late money comes.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (18:00) Robinson Family Butcher BM64 (1000m)

#2 – Generous Harry @ $2.70

BET NOW

We’re not surprised by the money coming for Generous Harry, who scored by 2.5 lengths at Wyong last time out.

The five-year-old son of Harry Angel owns two wins and three placings from nine starts, and his best form comes over this distance.

He has been backed, and that trend should continue right up to start time.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (18:33) Pluim Group BM64 (1200m)

#8 – Exceed Perfection @ $5.50

BET NOW

There isn’t much covering this field, so we’re going with an each-way runner in Exceed Perfection.

He has only one win from 17 starts, but he went close when running second at Gosford and Kembla Grange last preparation.

Something close to those efforts should be enough to see him.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (19:03) Corporate Race Day BM64 (1200m)

#10 – Crimson Wings @ $4.80

BET NOW

Punters get another each-way runner to back in Crimson Wings, who won fresh up at Beaumont before placing behind Siebert at Gosford.

The three-year-old filly by Trapeze Artist could rise through the grades nicely this preparation, and this race is there for the taking.

Take the odds before late money comes.

Stake: 1.5 Units
