Odds Last Updated: August 6, 2021, 12:21pm (AEDT)

Looks a nice race for (9) Deep Blast who resumes here. He started $3 in a fairly strong maiden last prep and ran okay. He’s been given plenty of time and he’s jumped out very well. Looks to get a great run on the map and looks overs at the current quote.

(11) Tayla’s Moment can improve off the first up run and has intertwining form last prep.

Tip: (9) Deep Blast- $8.50/2.20 at Bet365

Betting Strategy: 0.5 units E/W Deep Blast

It’s absolutely sickening but (1) Thought Of That will never get a better chance. He’s developed a reputation as a non winner which is probably fair as he hasn’t won since his 3yo days and had plenty of chances. His runs this prep have both been solid and this is much easier. Gets the blinkers on and I do think the synthetic track will really suit him.

(8) My Boy Birmingham was given a great leader’s ride to win last start and gets in with 54kg but this is a huge step up against a couple of proven bm78/84 horses.

Tip: (1) Thought Of That- $3.20 at Ladbrokes

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN Thought Of That

I think (8) Yulong Island can improve off his first up run where he wasn’t really suited. He had to do a bit of work over the 1000m on a heavy track and I think he’ll be better suited getting onto a dry track. Maps well from barrier 6 and can only be fitter.

(3) Bianconi Magic can also improve off the first up run and does like the synthetic tracks.

Tip: (8) Yulong Island- $11.00/3.50 at Sportsbet

Also Backing: (3) Bianconi Magic- $6.00 at Sportsbet

Betting Strategy: 0.25/0.75 units E/W Yulong Island, 0.5 units WIN Bianconi Magic

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.
