Victoria Derby Form Guide & Tips

(1) El Castello (Best Bet – $3.50)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

His form in Sydney has been excellent, and we would be been prepared to take $2.50 around his chances.

He looks to be the best stayer in this field, and Sydney form is usually best.

(2) Red Aces ($7.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

His form has been mixed but he has looked good at best, including a win at The Valley last Saturday.

Nothing wrong with that form, so he’s not being left out of our Derby picks.

(3) Kenneland ($10.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

He was disappointing last time out and it’s tough to look past that run. He had every chance in the run and he didn’t finish it off.

Prepared to leave him out.

(4) Goldrush Guru (Best Each Way – $12.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

His form in Adelaide has been good, including three wins this preparation. He won at Morphettville last time out by 2.3 lengths, which is a good guide.

We’re happy to include him in our picks at the double-figure odds.

(5) Saint Emilion ($14.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

The colt by Snitzel comes off wins at Goulburn and Geelong, but he could make the rise in class in fine style.

He gets Tim Clark in the saddle and punters should include him for multiples.

(6) Kingofwallstreet (Best Roughie – $18.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Matthew Cumani’s stable knows how to train stayers and he scored a gutsy win at Caulfield last time out.

The three-year-old colt by Dundeel won by a nose over China Sea, and we expect that to be a good form guide.

Take the value odds with the improving type.

(7) Politely Dun ($21.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

His form this season has been solid without being amazing, and although he has a nice future, we’re leaving him out.

(8) King of Thunder ($7.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Third behind Red Aces last start and there has been solid betting support since markets opened, which is surprising.

Having James McDonald riding helps, so we’re happy to follow the strong betting moves and include him.

(9) Tenbury Wells ($17.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

His winning form came to an end behind El Castello last start, but he was making good ground in the straight.

It’s a good form guide, and he’s bred to be better than average over the staying distance. Therefore, he could finish in the minors.

(10) Peru ($126.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

His odds have drifted and he has yet to show form good enough to handle this field.

(11) China Sea ($16.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Second behind our best roughie last start and a repeat of that effort could be enough to see him win.

John Sargent is a master trainer of stayers, so don’t overlook his chances in an even Victoria Derby field.

(12) Hot Too Go ($41.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Knocking on the door of a win after three consecutive placings, but he would need to find a few lengths to beat this field.

(13) Scary ($35.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

He raced a little flat last time out and he was given every chance. His racing pattern doesn’t help, so we’re prepared to leave him out.

(14) Oxford Blue ($26.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

1.9 lengths behind Saint Emilion last start, and he would need to make up that ground and some more.

He’s bred to stay, but winning would be a surprise.

(15) West Indies ($81.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

A solid start to his career but his form isn’t at this level. Likely struggle.

(16) Autumnheat ($101.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Not running nearly well enough to handle this field.

(17) War Ribbon ($19.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

There has been some betting support for the last-start Newcastle winner. It was an easy win, so he’s an interesting runner.

It could pay to watch for any further betting moves.

(18) Cecchetti ($101.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Yet to win and that’s unlikely to change on Saturday.
