Wednesday best bets from Taggart & Luke (11/11)
By SENTrack
David Taggart & Cam Luke have your Wednesday sorted on Trackside.
The lads have taken a close look at Ballarat, Scone & Warwick Farm in a bid to find the family some winners.
See their best bets below:👇
David Taggart
WARWICK FARM
Race 1 | 1. Quarterback
Went around under a stranglehold last start not getting out at any stage. His first up run was full of merit behind two gallopers that went on and placed in group races next start.
Race 5 | 3. Bryant
Comes out of a very good form line last start when second to You’re Not The King who won the greys race on Thursday. Draws perfect unlike last start and if he runs up to last start he can win.
SCONE
Race 2 | 2. Reelflare
Stormed home to miss the well tried debutant in Imperial Code last start at the Provincials. Will find this easier and won’t get as far back in the run.
Cam Luke
WARWICK FARM
Race 1 | 1. Quarterback
Forget last start when he didn’t get out of a canter in the straight. His from around Barracks and Affari resuming is great form for this. He is third up staying at the 1400 with a gate he can stalk from and go around them. I haven't backed him at $2 but I am one out in the earlu quaddie and I think he'll break the maiden like a shortie should.
Race 4 | 3. Zonkstar
I like this bloke to turn the tables on the fave here. Gets a weight swing from last start and being closer to the rail that day worked against him. He is clearly emerging stayer and is still learning but looks a really nice type. He is a bigger boy so being able to be off the fence and go around them works as well. He lost a little momentum at times last start closer to the rail. Good track works for him, I think with the better setup here and jockey and stable are flying and he will turn the tables on Blenheim Girl.
Race 5 | 2. Duvana
Duvana who has trialled up quietly but well. Nash Rawiller goes on and is drawn well to stalk a decent speed which will help this bloke who will enjoy further deeper in the prep. Always runs well 1st up and in fact that 1st up run last prep was in a really good race at Scone. Good track is a big win and this bloke will be in the finish.
Race 6 | 7. Chilli Margs
Hits the mile third up and I think that's a big advantage here today from a beautiful gate. Forget last start from that gate, pushed forward was posted three wide and just ran out of puff that won't be the case today. Her only other crack at the 1600 was last prep and finished on the back of Mr Miller. This is a winnable race and she deserves some luck. Helps that the stable is flying!
BALLARAT
Race 1 | 8. Goodness
A drying track is a big positive for this girl today. Drawn to have a great run in transit and staying at the 1400 is a win after she was a tad soft late resuming (sign of colic in VR) I think this a smidge easier and even though I'm not diving in I do expect this very striking looking Mare to enjoy Ballarat and be too good!
Race 2 | 6. Farmelia
Was brilliant on debut beating Tennessee Spirit. Never found her groove wide at The Heath in a better race than this before tipped out. Has jumped out well and back to the 1000 is ideal kick off point. Drawn perfect to box seat and DL goes on and is a plus. I think she is the best horse in the race. The early money for Lucifer I am against the Penola maiden form even though she ran fast. I'm with this girl to enjoy Ballarat and be too good!
Race 3 | 3. Pocketfullofcash
Was really good on debut and then had a crack at two really hot races since. Wasn't bad at Flem in the Danehill albeit the HT probably didn’t help. Last start he just worked too hard when all went forward as that was the way of the track that day. Comes back to 1100 which I think works as does the level of race. Should be too good here!
SCONE
Race 2 | 2. Reelflare
Gets to the mile third up and the blinkers go on which will be an advantage. It was pretty good last start over the seven furlongs and there is no doubt little flat spot means the 1600 works very well and is a big tick. Don't go diving in but she has measured up against better fields than this and expect her to be too good!
Race 5 | 2. Tickelova
I thought she was really good on debut over the unsuitable 900 and albeit a race day cancellation means 5 weeks between runs but I still think this suits nicely. She gets up in trip which is a tick, there is a lot of speed in this race so I think AB can just sit and stalk. Open race but I think the setup works here and expect her to run really well again.
