We round out the working week with a good eight race card at Bathurst.

The track is currently rated a soft 7 but there has been plenty of rain around these parts of NSW in the last 24 hours and more forecast to come so we should expect heavy conditions here today.

Billy Bestford has cast his eye across the meeting and has found a couple of bets he is keen to have. Find his selections in Race 2 & Race 5.

Odds Last Updated: October 15, 2021, 1:41pm (AEDT)

I think (1) Vascotto could be a genuine swimmer and gets his favoured conditions here today. Won his maiden two starts back by 7L on a very wet Wellington track before failing as a short-priced fav last time out. I think he’ll go forward today and will be too hard to run down back in these conditions.

(5) Movin’ Denman was a winner on debut at a decent price and did it all the hard way from a wide draw and not much luck in running. Plenty to like about that performance.

Tip: (1) Vascotto - $2.70 at Ladbrokes

Betting Strategy: 1.5u WIN Vascotto

Odds Last Updated: October 15, 2021, 3:26pm (AEDT)

Taking on the shortie here and am siding with (7) Chevconi who was a good winner fresh after plenty of market support. Fitter now up to 1200m 2nd up and he is proven in these heavy conditions. From a good draw he can fight out the finish.

While I concede (3) Ang Power looks an exciting horse and has a bright future, I won’t be jumping in at the $1.60 on offer at the moment. The wet track looks a big question mark and I think we can take him on.

Tip: (7) Chevconi - $5.00 at Sportsbet

Betting Strategy: 1u WIN Chevconi

Billy Bestford

Billy has been an avid racing fan ever since he and a few mates started a punters club once they turned 18. Following the initial punters clubs, he was properly hooked after landing a nice collect on Admire Rakti in the 2014 Caulfield Cup and has had a soft spot for Japanese horses ever since. Is a massive fan of 'blinkers first time' and has been known to enjoy a 'Hail Mary' multi. Loves punting across metro Sydney and Melbourne every Saturday but isn't scared to venture West late in the day to find a Pikey special.
