Rosehill Race 6: #1 Best Of Bordeaux @ $2.15

Kacy Fogden opted to scratch her three-year-old colt Best Of Bordeaux in the Golden Rose, instead opting to line him up in the Heritage Stakes. The Snitzel colt led the field up in the Group 2 Run To The Rose and was only bettered by Golden Rose favourite In Secret when going down by 1.75 lengths. He is already placed at Group 1 level and has a win at Group 2 and Group 3 in his short five-start career and if he is anywhere near his best on Saturday, he simply blows this lot away. From barrier five, James McDonald will look to run his rivals off their feet and with an uncontested lead expected, Best Of Bordeaux should be leading from barrier to box in the Heritage Stakes. Moral.

Mornington Race 5: #6 Tobaysure @ $3.00

Our best bet on the program will be in race five where the Phillip Stokes-trained Tobaysure is the early market favourite with Marantelli Bet. This four-year-old gelding has only missed the placings once in six career starts for two wins, with both of those coming at Pakenham in March this year. After running in a very good form race first-up and finishing third behind Sandy Prince on September 7, this son of Cable Bay will be much improved second-up in what looks to be an easier race on paper. The only worry for Zac Spain is that he has drawn barrier 12 of 12, but if he can overcome the barrier and get a cosy run in transit, this guy will be winning.

Toowoomba Race 5: #9 Goldeel @ $3.10

Our best bet on the card will come up in race five, where we will be backing Goldeel to record her fifth win at her 10th start. The Tony & Maddysen Sears-trained four-year-old will be looking to add to her already very impressive record after only missing the placings at three of her first nine starts to date. After winning by the barest of margins last start over 1630m at Doomben, she will now drop back slightly to 1625m and look to improve again third-up. This girl will drop from 57kg last start to carry the minimum of 53kg with the aid of Angela Jones’ claim, and if she can sit just behind the speed, she will be very hard to beat again.

Morphettville Race 4: #5 I Am Bene @ $2.80

Having won at Caulfield in BM78 grade in convincing fashion two starts back, the Andrew Clarken-trained I Am Bene looks a clear best bet of the day. The four-year-old mare thrashed Attractable who has since come out and won a nice race at Ballarat at its subsequent start franking that Caulfield form. I Am Bene’s last start 10th in the Let’s Elope Stakes was clearly a throw at the stumps where she was simply outclassed, but a drop back into BM82 grade should suit her perfectly. From barrier six, look for Sophie Logan to have the I Am Invincible mare settled in the second half of the field, but when asked for an effort, we expect I Am Bene to give her rivals windburn in the home straight. The $2.80 on offer looks an absolute steal.

Belmont Race 8: #9 Western Knight @ $2.15

Formidable pairing Adam Durrant and Clint Johnston-Porter look the ones to side with in the penultimate race of the day when they team up with Western Knight. The four-year-old gelding was desperately unlucky at the Belmont 1400m when held up for a run until it was too late. He managed to find clear air inside the final furlong and did well to beaten just under a long neck. He draws out in barrier seven on Saturday and with the ‘Hyphenator’ sticking on board, the duo will be out for redemption. As long as there is no traffic issues in running, Western Knight looks a class above his rivals and despite being an even-money quote, he looks a clear best bet of the day at Belmont.
