Sale racing tips

—

Race 1. (12:50) Maffra Sheetmetal Maiden (1112m)

#6 – Autumn Lover

BET NOW

Autumn Lover faced a tough field on debut when running fifth behind a potential superstar in Hard Kick.

The two-year-old filly got a pass mark in that race, and she should find this level of racing more to her liking on Sunday.

Getting the inside draw could be enough to get it done.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (13:20) Sale Water Specialists Maiden (1427m)

#6 – Wetumpka

BET NOW

Peter Gelagotis lines up Wetumpka, who didn’t fire at Flemington last time out, but he looked good prior to that.

The three-year-old colt by Alabama Express owns three second placings from five starts, and it’s only a matter of time before he wins.

Punters should get each-way odds on race day.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:55) Carlton Draught Maiden (1012m)

#1 – Mainmankash

BET NOW

Looking to go one better than his debut second placing is Mainmankash, who handled the heavy conditions nicely.

The four-year-old son of Cliff’s Edge was only a length behind the winner as a $2.80 chance, and money should come for him again.

Jake Noonan is riding well, which adds to our confidence.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (14:30) Benson Tree Services Maiden (1212m)

#2 – Blue Light Disco

BET NOW

Blue Light Disco wasn’t too far away on debut when running fifth at Pakenham behind Savoyard, who has since run second at Pakenham.

The four-year-old son of Blue Point has plenty of improvement to come, and he only needs a touch of luck from a wide barrier.

He’s a solid each-way bet in an open contest.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (15:05) Tucka Maffco Handicap (1212m)

#1 – Gaeilge

BET NOW

Team Freedman lines up Gaeilge, who scored a good win at Seymour two back before finishing fifth at Cranbourne.

The three-year-old son of Exceed and Excel will need to carry a big weight, but having a recent win under his belt is ideal.

We’re happy to include him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15.45) Sale Mowers & Chainsaws BM62 (1427m)

#6 – Pavlich

BET NOW

Seeking back-to-back wins is Pavlich, who dug deep to score by a nose last time out.

The three-year-old son of Written Tycoon is bred to win a few more races, and the Laurie stable always gets them ready fresh up.

We expect a betting push on race day, so take the opening odds.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (16.20) Maffco Brewery & Distillery Maffra Cup (1627m)

#2 – Hotel Senshi

BET NOW

Hotel Senshi won on debut at Wangaratta by 1.3 lengths, and he’s our top pick to remain unbeaten.

The Luke Oliver-trained gelding paid $2.60 when scoring, and with Craig Williams riding, we expect something similar on Sunday.

He’s worth including in multi bets.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (16.55) Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 BM62 (1112m)

#5 – Sugar Schnapps

BET NOW

Sugar Schnapps has made a good start to her career with a win and two placings, with the win coming at Rotorua in New Zealand.

She kicked off her Australian campaign with a placing at Kyneton, and the four-year-old daughter of Per Incanto will improve with racing.

Luke Currie rides and having a strong rider on board helps.

Stake: 2 Units
