Just banking a bit on the fact I don’t think (10) Champagne Dame is actually that good. Has bumped into a few that go alright in her first two starts but she was entitled to go better than she did last start.

(9) Advanced goes on top. Was awful in a trial back in May but was much better in her recent trial which she won. Pike should be able to stalk the other favourite from barrier 5 and be too good.

(3) Superiorize was a good run on debut.

Tip: (9) Advanced $2.40 Bet365

Betting Strategy: 1.5 units WIN Advanced

Odds Last Updated: October 3, 2021, 8:07pm (AEDT)

The feature of the day is the Gannons Ladies Day Cup and we have a decent field assembled. Hard to go past (7) Far Too Strong which is Lindsey Smith’s only runner of the day, with The Pontiff booked to ride. This horse won a fairly good three-year-old race first up in town. This is another step up, taking on older more seasoned horses, but he looks progressive.

(10) Savanik is flying, with two wins from as many starts this campaign. $6 is a reasonable price for her.

Tip: (7) Far Too Strong $3.10 TAB

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN Far Too Strong

Odds Last Updated: October 3, 2021, 8:41pm (AEDT)

I think the market has this wrong here with (7) Buzzoom as the odds-on favourite. She’s run out of chances with me. She’s hardly done anything wrong but she was entitled to win more than the one race she took out on debut.

I’d rather be in the corner of (6) Spritely Star first up at 1400m. She was tested in the 1000 Guineas last prep, where she ran 4th. She may well be looking for further than this but I think she might have a class edge and from barrier 1 she gets her chance to kick off her campaign with a win.

Tip: (6) Spritely Star $2.30 Sportsbet

Betting Strategy: 1.5 units WIN Spritely Star

Tim Geers

A trip to Hong Kong quickly had Tim hooked to the racing caper, maintaining the best place anywhere in the world on a Wednesday night is Happy Valley. He holds a strong interest in the Hong Kong form, along with the metropolitan racing in Sydney and Melbourne. He’s a fan of dry tracks, Zac Purton and takes particular interest in identifying patterns in the form. Tim wears many hats, juggling the roles of form analyst, jockey manager and racehorse owner.
