Wangaratta racing tips

—

Race 1. (13:00) Killawarra Kennels & Cattery Maiden (1170m)

#10 – Kadesh @ $3.50

BET NOW

Kadesh ran third on debut at Mornington as a $2.60 chance, and she has been well-backed to score again.

The three-year-old filly by Toronado has drifted a touch since opening at $2.80, but she drops in weight with the 1.5kg claim, and that should take her close.

We’re including her in our picks to start the day.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (13:30) Wangaratta Flooring Xtra Maiden (1100m)

#6 – Capital Design @ $5.00

BET NOW

Capital Design looked good either side of a spell when running third at Corowa and Albury, which is tidy enough form for this level of racing.

The three-year-old son of Capitalist should appreciate the rise in distance after running over 900m last start, and he looks stronger than most of these.

Take the each-way odds available.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (14:00) Unite Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Maiden (1400m)

#8 – Lil Orlov @ $3.70

BET NOW

We expect money to come for Lil Orlov, who has threatened to win after posting placings at Albury and Wangaratta.

The three-year-old son of Russian Revolution could continue the recent run from the sire, and he doesn’t need to improve much to beat this field.

Take the $3.70 odds before it firms to around $2.90.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (14:30) Worklocker Wangaratta Maiden (1400m)

#6 – Maketime @ $3.70

BET NOW

Looking to score a debut win is Maketime, who looked good when winning a recent jumpout at Flemington.

The three-year-old son of Maurice is bred to win a few races, and jumping from barrier three should see him get a good position.

There are a lot of unknowns in this field, but he has upside.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (15:00) Sportsbet Fast Form Maiden (1590m)

#10 – King Kauffo @ $7.00

BET NOW

We don’t think punters have seen the best of King Kauffo, who ran seventh at Wodonga on debut before running seventh at Wangaratta.

The three-year-old son of Merchant Navy might have needed time to mature, and the addition of blinkers could help him switch on.

He’s $14 into $7, so it’s a strong move.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:30) Winsec Savings & Loans BM62 (1590m)

#3 – Poet’s Artistry @ $5.00

BET NOW

Seeking three consecutive wins is Poet’s Artistry, who scored at Echuca and Wodonga.

The three-year-old son of Trapeze Artist scored by a nose last time out and getting weight off his back should make him tough to beat.

The odds are worth including in horse racing picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (16:00) A1 Tyrepower Wangaratta BM56 (1170m)

#2 – Damas @ $4.00

BET NOW

Boasting a win and seven placings from 10 starts is Damas, who ran third at Donald fresh up, and improvement is likely.

The four-year-old son of Pride of Dubai has had two starts at Wangaratta for a win and a placing, so he likes the track.

We expect him to be fighting out the finish.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 8. (16:30) 92.1 Star FM & 102.1 Edge BM56 (1170m)

#3 – Paparazzo @ $5.00

BET NOW

Pararazzo has been close to posting a win this preparation after rattling off three consecutive second placings.

The four-year-old son of Holler ran second at Albury last time out, which is a good enough form guide for this level of racing.

It’s an even field, so snap up the each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 9. (17:00) O.I Pools BM56 (1000m)

#16 – Lightning Lizard @ $19.00

BET NOW

Better for two runs back from a spell is Lightning Lizard, who ran fourth as the favourite last start at Albury.

Punters get much better odds this time around for the five-year-old son of Redente, who should appreciate getting 3kg off his back.

He’s good enough to run in the money at big odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 10. (16:30) Merry Christmas from the Wangaratta Turf Club BM56 (1400m)

#4 – Three Musketeers @ $4.60

BET NOW

The five-year-old wasn’t far away when fourth at Kyneton, and he doesn’t need to improve too much to handle this field.

He owns two wins and five placings overall, and most of his best form comes at Wangaratta with a win and three placings from four starts.

We’re happy to include him at the current odds.

Stake: 1.5 Units
