Odds Last Updated: May 15, 2022, 6:35pm (AEDT)

(6) Everyone’s Victory resumes here and is a specialist on the dirt, with two wins and six placings from 10 starts on the AWT. Finished in the top two in 6 consecutive starts last prep and should go close for the in-form Frankie Lor yard.

(2) Toronado Phantom is value at $7.50. He was disappointing last start but his form around Eason and Lucky Sweynesse prior to that was good. Purton on today for his debut on the dirt.

Tip: (6) Everyone's Victory $3.60 Moneyball

Value: (2) Toronado Phantom $7.50 Bet365

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN Everyone's Victory, 0.5 units WIN Toronado Phantom

Odds Last Updated: May 15, 2022, 7:49pm (AEDT)

Think the soft track conditions really suit (4) Solid Impact today, who was outstanding first up when beaten a nose by Reve Parisien. They pulled 3L clear of the third horse and Solid Impact’s best form has all been on rain-affected ground so gets things to suit today. Hard to beat.

(7) Beauty Mission and (11) War Weapon are also both suited by the soft track, with their only career victories coming on rain-affected ground. Can have something small on both at the odds.

Tip: (4) Solid Impact $4.60 Bet365

Also Backing: (7) Beauty Mission $9.00 Ladbrokes

Value: (11) War Weapon $10 Bet365

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN Solid Impact, 0.5 units WIN Beauty Mission, 0.5 units WIN War Weapon

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.
