Odds Last Updated: August 23, 2021, 3:31pm (AEDT)

The market has this as a two-horse race with (4) Get On The Gas and (9) Lavish Girl both around $2.50-$2.70.

I’m in the corner of Lavish Girl for the Maher/Eustace team, who resumed with a victory over 1100m here on the synthetic at Pakenham. She went into that first up without a public trial so she should be open to improvement stepping up to 1200m. She looks to get the better position on the speed map from barrier 4, with the other favourite likely to be coming from behind her. I think if Lavish Girl has a headstart on Get On The Gas, she’s going to be hard to run down after recording the fastest final 200m of the entire meeting first up.

(5) Credlin won first up last prep and can figure in the finish.

Tip: (9) Lavish Girl $2.40 Sportsbet

Betting Strategy: 1.5 units WIN Lavish Girl

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.
