Very keen to follow up with (7) Steinem who was hammered in betting as my best of the day at Sandown and couldn’t have been more impressive, getting right back and powering to the line to win by 3.5L. Her last 200m was the second best of the day, only behind Modear in an 1000m race. She draws the carpark here which is why she isn’t odds on- she’s a very good filly, McNeil has given up big money rides at Caulfield to stick with her, and I think she’ll win this and the Australasian Oaks.

Tip: (7) Steinem- $2.05 at Bet365

Betting Strategy: 3.5 units WIN Steinem

(2) Kemalpasa will be hard to beat here, coming off a narrow 3^rd in the Oakleigh Plate. He was scratched from the Newmarket but has trialled well since and has the class on most of these.

(6) Octane clearly looks the value to me. He was disappointing first up in a very fast 1000m race at Caulfield where he struggled to get into the race, but his first up record is generally not very good. He’s 3/4 when 2^nd up, and undefeated 2^nd up with the Stokes camp. He’s 2/2 at the T/D, Crowther knows the horse very well having ridden him 6 times for 5 wins and he’ll get a much more even tempo here to show his turn of foot. At $13 he’s a great bet.

I love (1) Hey Doc, but he’s had worrying signs in two runs this prep. His best would destroy these but he’s difficult to back now.

Tip: (6) Octane- $13.00 at Sportsbet

Also Backing: (2) Kemalpasa- $3.00 at Sportsbetting

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN Octane, 0.5 units WIN Kemalpasa

Trent Crebbin

Trent’s interest in the thoroughbred started out as a spark with Black Caviar, became a flame with Winx, and has now intensified into a burning obsession with Arcadia Queen. He started out throwing loose change on random trifectas at the pub, but it wasn’t long before he was watching replays and looking at sectionals, weights and markets. Trent specializes in Victorian racing and hopes his first winner as an owner is just around the corner.
