Racing at Sale on Monday after the meeting was rescheduled from yesterday.

We’re still on a heavy (9) track which often sees horses get to the outside fence.

Trent Crebbin has previewed the meeting and picked out three betting races he’s keen on.

Race 2

Duart Homestead Mdn Plate (1415m)
1:05pm (AEDT)

Race 2 Duart Homestead Mdn Plate (1415m) 1:05pm (AEDT)
1. Atomoscar (6) J: Dean Holland (59.5kg) T: Ms C Martindale	19	19	19.2
2. Law Of Reciprocity (1) J: Arthur Robertson (59.5kg) T: Nathan Mcpherson	101	101	111
3. Quindi Pensi (3) J: Beau Mertens (59.5kg) T: Matthew Brown
4. Capino (4) J: Brian Park (58kg) T: Shane Stockdale	4.8	5	5
5. Grand Deposition (8) J: Jamie Mott (58kg) T: K & K Keys	5	5	5
6. Kilronan (12) J: Remi Tremsal (58kg) T: Rebecca Waymouth
7. Mystic Hope (14) J: (58kg) T: Charlotte Littlefield
8. Ocean Raider (9) J: Damien Thornton (58kg) T: R Griffiths & M De Kock
9. Phareal (7) J: Michael Dee (58kg) T: T Busuttin & N Young	4.6	5	4.3
10. Megamoon (2) J: Sally Wynne (57.5kg) T: Noni Shelton
11. Granny's Reward (17) J: Jason Benbow (56kg) T: Peter Moody
12. Hesitate (16) J: Craig Newitt (56kg) T: T Busuttin & N Young	2.6	2.6	2.5
13. Sally Sunshine (13) J: Jason Benbow (56kg) T: Peter Moody
14. Docconrad (5) J: Randy Tan (59.5kg) T: Bryce Stanaway
15. Jean Claude (11) J: Patrick Moloney (59.5kg) T: Peter Gelagotis	11	12	12.2
16. Eddie's Memories (15) J: (59.5kg) T: Greg Hayes
17. Cop That (10) J: Fred Kersley (59.5kg) T: Kerry Farrugia	9	8.5	8.3

(12) Hesitate looks the one to beat in an easier maiden. The run on debut behind Tricology was very good without luck at Pakenham and the wide draw here should be an advantage on the heavy track. As with most horses the ground is an unknown but the breeding is positive and she should be going close.

Tip: (12) Hesitate- $2.60 at Sportsbet

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN Hesitate

Race 5

Sanlam Private Wealth (Bm64) (1206m)
2:50pm (AEDT)

Race 5 Sanlam Private Wealth (Bm64) (1206m) 2:50pm (AEDT)
1. Sukwhinder (9) J: Samantha Noble (62kg) T: S G Noble
2. Estoril Park (8) J: Ethan Brown (60kg) T: Leon & Troy Corstens
3. Ethekwini (4) J: Fred W Kersley (60kg) T: Danny O'Brien
4. Jenni Esprit (1) J: Brian Park (59kg) T: E Jusufovic	4.8	4.6	4.45
5. Merlin's Charm (5) J: Beau Mertens (59kg) T: Wendy Kelly
6. Miss Bank Place (7) J: Patrick Moloney (59kg) T: R Griffiths & M De Kock
7. Ancient Girl (10) J: Josh Richards (58kg) T: Clinton Mcdonald
8. Another Engagement (3) J: Damien Thornton (57.5kg) T: A & S Freedman	2	1.9	2
9. Commands The Field (11) J: Michael Dee (57kg) T: T Busuttin & N Young	2.25	2.1	2.2
10. Peskijen (6) J: Jamie Mott (57kg) T: Alexander Rae
11. Bolde Abby (2) J: Dean Holland (55.5kg) T: John Keane

Small field but (9) Commands The Field is the best horse in this race. He won on a soft 6 on debut, beating Midwest of all horses, and she’s trialled well on heavy tracks in the past. She goes best fresh, has jumped out well and her turn of foot should suit the small field.

(8) Another Engagement is the obvious danger having won her maiden on a heavy track.

Tip: (9) Commands The Field- $2.30 at TAB

Betting Strategy: 1.5 units WIN Commands The Field

11. Be Alert (10) J: Beau Mertens (57.5kg) T: Cindy Alderson
12. Surecan (4) J: Dean Holland (56.5kg) T: Ciaron Maher & David Eustace

Tricky race but (8) Cakewalk Baby is a proper wet tracker and needs some cut to show her best. She’s been poor in two runs this prep but will be ready 3rd up and has improved out of sight getting onto a wet track in the past, including wins over Media Award and Sweet Karolina. Unfortunately we aren’t getting 3 places so note that, but I thought she could bob up here.

Tip: (8) Cakewalk Baby- $7.50/3.20 at Sportsbet

Betting Strategy: 0.25/0.75 units E/W Cakewalk Baby (2 places)

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.
