A flying colt makes his first start for Patrick Payne and The Race Club’s Adam Curkpatrick is tipping the 3YO to stay unbeaten this prep.
For his value bet, the racing expert is backing a 6YO Maher runner to weave his magic on Copperfield.
Best Bet
Mornington (Wednesday)
Race 3, 1500m
Moveforlex ($3.80, $1.50)
Moreforlex ($3.80, $1.50) is having his first start under Payne off a sound rating win stepping from 1200 to 1600m, maiden to CL1.
His biggest query is the going, however he got through the soft ground fine in winning at the mile last start, and I’m willing to mostly omit.
Blinkers on, slight step back in trip and a soft map, I think he is the one to beat.
Falcon Of Malta ($2.20, $1.22) was strong enough at 1400m resuming.
The race rated fine, however there is some query where he gets in run.
Tip: Win
Value Bet
Race 4, 1500m
Court Deep ($3.80, $1.50)
Court Deep ($3.80, $1.,50) sets up much the same as last start, rolling through the later middle stages and boxing on soundly.
TRC yard noted fitness to come in all three starts, so I’d expect now 4UP, he presents tightened up.
He is suited with the sting out and if runs anywhere near his top, he’ll be very hard to pin back.
Copperfield ($2.40) the clear threat, however willing to risk at the price, and make Court Deep the value today.
Tip: Win

COURT DEEP returned a winner today on Bendigo Cup Day. The Deep Field gelding fought tooth and nail down the straight to come away with a tight win. Great training from the hard working Maher & Eustace team.@cmaherracing pic.twitter.com/57SlZWsgsm
