Odds Last Updated: October 6, 2021, 11:46pm (AEDT)

Looks a little set up here for (5) Good Shot who gets Zac Purton booked to ride first up for Tony Cruz. This horse ran 2nd first up last prep over this track and distance so with Zac on fresh off a good trial and with a good draw, he looks well placed to strike.

(1) Aurora Pegasus went close last start and comes up with the inside draw tonight which is a big plus, so he has claims again.

Tip: (5) Good Shot $4.60 Sportsbet

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN Good Shot

(2) Nunchuks looks an each way bet to nothing here t $5.50/$2.10. Was beaten 1.5L into 3rd first up over 1200m where he drew barrier 9. Now steps up to 1650m second up and draws barrier 1 which is a huge advantage over the 1650m distance on the A-course. With a good ride he should be right around the mark come the finish.

Tip: (2) Nunchuks E/W $5.50/$2.00 PlayUp

Betting Strategy: 0.5 units WIN, 1.5 units PLACE Nunchuks

(3) Fortune Carrier resumed with a good win over this track and distance and only cops 2kg in the weights as a result. Importantly, he comes up with barrier 1 tonight, which is a big advantage. Purton sticks with, he only meets the runner-up from last start 1kg worse off at the weights, so he looks on a mark he can win at again.

(2) Xponential was the horse that ran 2nd to Fortune Carrier last start so has obvious claims again.

(4) Great Harvest has a phenomenal record at this track and distance so is definitely worth including at each way odds despite drawing the outside in barrier 12.

Tip: (3) Fortune Carrier $2.80 Sportsbet

Betting Strategy: 2 units WIN Fortune Carrier

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.
