A 3YO with a fitness edge over his arch rival is primed to strike gold at Sandown on Wednesday and racing expert Adam Curkpatrick from The Race Club is backing the star runner to salute over 1500m.
Best Bet
Sandown (Wednesday)
Race 1, 1500m
Gold Bullion ($2.30, $1.18)
Gold Bullion ($2.30, $1.18) started favourite in his second career start, on the back of a stellar debut, in good figures.
All things point to a step up in trip being suitable, now third-up and likely settling outside leader, if not taking it up, he is the horse to beat.
Banking on him having the fitness edge on Porter ($4.60, $2,.20) resuming, who has worked well leading into his second prep. Not overly sold on the market second-elect, Binotto ($3.80, $1.90) just yet.
Gold Bullion on top as the best of the day.
Tip: Win
Value Bet
Race 8, 1000m
Extreme Flight ($12.00, $3.70)
Extreme Flight ($12.00, $3.70) is well in commission at this level, first-up over the 1000m.
The lead in work has been sharp enough and the race shape on paper looks suitable.
He hasn’t won since late 2021, however I’ve warmed to the stable form, coupled with the jockey booking.
Tip: Win
