4YO To Overcome Draw To Finish On Top At Caulfield On Saturday: Adam Curkpatrick

Feature racing in Melbourne this Saturday is at Caulfield and The Race Club’s Adam Curkpatrick is backing a 4YO to make amends for a last start defeat.

For his value bet, the racing expert has found some juicy value in the 5th.

Best Bet – Caulfield (Saturday)

YELLOW SAM ($4.60, $1.60), Race 4, 1400m.

Was victim to set-up, unable to pin back Nunthorpe ($5.00) last start against a mid-race slacken.

She gets a good weight swing on that runner here, and although has the draw to overcome again, she has improvement given the 11-14 stagger last start, coupled with a figure edge.

Our Red Morning ($2.80) is smart enough, but she would need to elevate again, and I’d like to see her handle the firmer footing.

Yellow Sam on top.

Tip: Win

Value Bet – 

ZOUKORETTE ($7.00, $2.50), Race 5, 1400m.

Zoukerette was one of the only runners outside of Charm Stone I wanted to take out of the Atlantic Jewel a fortnight ago, having to be snagged back from the draw, and making an early go at them.

That was off a freshen and a slightly sharper than suitable trip, with the winner, Charm Stone going around a close second-elect in the Golden Rose this weekend.

Step up in trip, rails draw and Caulfield all positives.

No doubt Miracle Of Love ($3.50) is a talent, running a very good second to King Colorado in the JJ, and trialling up well leading in.

However, I have Zoukerette ($7.00) as a key chance and great value in the race. 

Tip: Win
