Odds Last Updated: May 25, 2021, 2:32pm (AEDT)

We have a maiden over 2000m here and I think there’s a good each way bet in the form of (11) Milonia. She’s had six starts in her career, placing in the past two. Those were both over the mile and she now steps up to 2000m, which I think is a huge plus. If you look at her replay from last start, it was clear she was left flat-footed at about the 600m, but she was very strong through the line, which indicates the step up in trip will really suit her. Archie Alexander is renowned for being able to train horses for this sort of distance, and he also has a very good record at Stawell, with four top-two finishes from five runners this season. Drawn well, main stable jockey goes on, looks very hard to beat. Happy to play each way.

Tip: (11) Milonia $6.50/$2.20 Bet365

Betting Strategy: 1 unit E/W Milonia

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.
