A maiden is chasing his first win at Caulfield on Wednesday and the Race Club’s Adam Curkpatrick is all over the 3YO colt to get the breakthrough win in the first.
For his value bet, the racing expert is backing a Neasham runner to get the chocolates at a double digit quote.
Best Bet – Caulfield (Wednesday)
MOJAVE DESERT ($4.60, $1.70), Race 1, 1600m
He may still be a maiden, however does hold a critical form line, through two starts behind Griff, who has gone on to win the Caulfield Guineas on the weekend.
Fistsoffury has also come out and run well and I believe this is as well placed as he has been all prep.
Fourth-up, I’d expect his is right at his top and takes all sort of holding out.
Tip: Win
Value Bet
MAOTAI ($10.00, $3.20), Race 8, 1440m
I’m sticking with Maotai after being quite bullish on him second-up at The Valley.
He’s again gone to the line jogging and was arguably going as well as the eventual winner Ranting, who was given a beaut ride the inside.
Maotai has a figure to win and under Neasham, I don’t think the 1400m is as strong of a query as it may have been in prior preps.
Faretti ($5.50) a key danger from the front.
