Gator's Game Plan: Gately's best at Sandown & Newcastle (13/12)

By David Gately

David Gately has provided his best bets for Sandown and Newcastle on Saturday.

See Gator's Game Plan below:

BET OF THE DAY (Melbourne)

SANDOWN (Hillside) - Race 10 No.4 - CONCORD CONNIE - Clear 2nd-best in G1 Empire Rose at her first go beyond 1400m. Excellent prior Vs savage bias and Shadhavar franked that form. Good race for her.

BET OF THE DAY (Sydney)

NEWCASTLE - Race 6 No.8 - LOVE STORY - Ran into a smart one on debut then two dominant wins from front in latest she thrashed Live who had run key rival Regal Problem to 1L in Sept.

VALUE BET OF THE DAY

SANDOWN (Hillside) - Race 2 No.10 - CHICAGO BLUES - Ran home super against the track bias Bendigo on their Cup Day in deep $100k race. Gets to Hillside in a race full of speed and does look over the odds ($21) early doors.

Feature races

Sandown - Race 8 - G1 CF Orr Stks - WFA - 1400m

1: 3 - ANGEL CAPITAL - Wrong race TAB Everest back at 1200m and was inside them all anyway and not in A-ground. G1 winner at 1400m prior beating Lady Shenandoah, Evaporate and Co.

2: 5 - BEIWACHT - Gave a sight in track record Golden Eagle at 1500m. Brave when collared prior at 1300m. Do think 1400m is his sweet spot.. He is 3 for 3 at 1400m and all those wins are G1 races!

3: 1 - JIMMYSSTAR - Big win Manikato then ran home very well in TAB Everest. Had task in Ruseell-Balding from back and wide. Beat Angel Capital fair and square this race last year.

4: 8 - SHADHAVAR - Up a notch here bushes flying and running fast times… winning by margins. Can tie her form in through Lady Shenandoah too. Tracks Beiwacht and challenges him 300m out? Measures up?

5: 2 - PERICLES - Had gun trail in Russel-Balding but won and beat Everest horses .. and broke track record. Must have a case!
