Odds Last Updated: November 14, 2020, 12:51am (AEDT)

There is a great field of runners, sixteen of them, battling out to take the Snake Gully Cup. Plenty of leading chances! The top weight (1) Spunlago has raced in listed company but isn’t the horse he once was. Also needs to lug the 62.5kg which is going to be a tough assignment.

(2) Irish Songs has been racing in good company more recently, and was 10^th when taking on Classique Legend in a Group 2 at Randwick. He is a pretty classy horse but mixes form. If it was wet, not a Good 3, than he would probably be tighter in the market.

The Waterhouse horse (3) Regal Stage looks to be one of the favourites in the field after a first in a bm72 at Randwick, although it was not super convincing. Goes up in grade here which gives me some concern.

The favourite is the Matt Dale runner from Canberra (6) Sausedge who has placed fourth in a similar quality race to Regal Stage, but that was at the end of a preparation (and he tends to lose form). He was also racing in listed grade last preparation and has some pretty handy second-up statistics—three starts for two wins. His from on good tracks is also hard to fault. He has been a touch off the boil, but at best, should have them covered.

Another winner is (4) Demonstrate who looks for the third in a row. Up in class, and taking on tougher company, so this may be a stretch – but still capable.

(14) Petaluma paid for my Chinese meals for many weeks after a consistent run of wins, but is now really taking on the quality runners. Can again come down the outside late, but might be one for the exotics.

Of all the runners it looks like Sausedge is set for this race first-up. Has the class if ready – and by all accounts he should be.

Tip: (6) Sausedge $4.00 Sportsbet

Also backing: (2) Irish Songs $7.00 Sportsbet

Odds Last Updated: November 14, 2020, 12:51am (AEDT)

Another large field for the handicap – led by (12) Shores Of Avalon who gains favouritism after a win at Canberra, albeit in a lower grade. She has a pretty enviable record, nine starts for four wins. She has been well placed in CL1, CL2 and bm60 rated races. She loves the Good track, so she will not have any excuses today.

Matt Dale has another one in this race (2) Mossman Gorge who showed some potential in metro races before trailing off with form. His first-up statistics are great, three wins from five starts. It feels like another Matt Dale set-up to perform here first-up today. At the odds, he looks like a good each-way play.

(1) Up Trumpz has good first-up stats also, and drops in grade after some good runs in metro company also. A second to Dirty Work first-up last preparation looks great form for this! (4) Bulala is not the worst either.

Comfortable to play according to the speed map—with plenty of speed runners. The 1000 metres will be over quick, and Up Trumpz looks to get the sticky inside draw, as he falls back. Shores Of Avalon gets the good draw mid-field, while Mossman George will attempt to come across and sit alongside her. In the battle to the line, Shores gets a clear weight advantage and might be tough to get past. Happy to play both.

Tip: (12) Shores Of Avalon $3.60 Sportsbet

Also backing: (2) Mossman Gorge $8.50 Sportsbet

The Horse

The Horse found the thought of placing bets and drinking beers much more appealing once he was married, and that led to an interest in the many intricacies of The Great Game. He enjoys the challenge of predicting what will happen in any given race, but also loves horses themselves, none more so than the mighty mudlark Jungle Edge. His focus lies on metropolitan racing in Victoria and NSW, however isn’t afraid to find one out wide. Away from racing, The Horse is an avid drummer – quite a difficult task with a set of hooves.
