Herbie Dyke Stakes Form Guide & Tips

(1) El Vencedor ($2.80)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

That was an impressive five-length win last start and he’s good enough to keep winning, despite rising in class to Group 1 level.

He’s a proven winner and an excellent chance to win the Herbie Dyke Stakes.

(2) Ladies Man (Best Each Way – $5.50)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

He showed his real ability when winning at Group 1 level two back at Trentham, beating La Crique with a driving finish.

He then ran fourth behind Snazzytavi and La Crique at Ellerslie, so he’s good enough to turn the tables on that run.

Take the each-way odds available.

(3) Numerian (Best Roughie – $10.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Australian form can’t be overlooked, despite a lack of winning form from Numerian.

The nine-year-old turned his form around with a third placing at Ascot, and Neasham has no trouble sending him across the ditch.

Getting $10 odds for a runner with $2.9 million in the bank is good value.

(4) Sharp ‘N’ Smart ($31.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

There is a general consensus in New Zealand that Sharp ‘N’ Smart endured an awfully tough three-year-old campaign, which ruined his chances of becoming a top older horse.

He cashed in during that season, winning two Derby races, so connections got the cash. However, he has never been the same since and we can’t see him figuring in the finish.

(5) One Bold Cat ($31.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Recent form isn’t there for One Bold Cat, who needs a heavy track to show his best form. He’s not going to get that in what has been a very dry NZ summer.

(6) Matscot ($41.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Expectations were high earlier this preparation when he placed in three consecutive runs, but his form has been found out in the north.

We can’t see him running well enough to be competitive at big odds.

(7) Whangaehu ($21.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Punters get nice odds for Whangaehu, who showed good toughness to win at Trentham, and he could be ready for the big time.

The eight-time winner is worth including in first four picks at the odds, and he could give punters a boost at $21.

(8) He’s a Doozy ($31.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

The Lisa Latta-trained runner isn’t running well, and he’s yet to win from four attempts at Te Rapa.

His best form comes over shorter distances as well, so we’re not keen on his chances.

(9) Field of Gold ($41.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

He showed good speed earlier in this career, but after running fourth at Wanganui behind Khafre, he would need to find five lengths on that effort.

We’re not interested in the odds.

(10) La Crique (Best Bet – $2.45)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

The only female horse in the race and she’s our top pick. She won brilliantly at Pukekohe three back before placing behind Ladies Man and Snazzytavi.

She was beaten by only a nose by Snazzytavi, who is arguably New Zealand’s best thoroughbred this season.

The form checks out and the odds are worth taking.
