The Battler's Big Value

Published: 06 Mar 2015

Finishes fast - Famous Seamous has got a good sprint finish

The Carnival kicks on with another two Group Ones today, and finding value runners is key to ending up on top. 

There are still a few returning from a summer break carrying a few extra pounds so keep an eye on the yard and betting to see which horses are ready on the day.

As always, The Race Guide's Bookie Battler has a candid look at some runners at good value.

Get the Maximiser - Luxbet's big value is on-line now

Race 1 - Perignon $9.50

"A real fighter from barrier 1 sounds like a banker to me. Having a crack for the win and the place."

Tries hard - Perignon is good each-way odds today

Race 5 - Intimate Moment $21

"Ronny Dufficy will be all over this girl on the radio, he has his fav's. Nothing wrong with that. I'm on too at those odds."

The Waller touch - Intimate Moment is back to mares grade

Race 7 - Leebaz $13

"Got to love a big winning strike rate and an aggressive jockey like Tommy. Great odds. I'm on"

A hint of rain around - Leebaz might finish better than the sprinters over 1300m

Race 8 - Famous Seamus $8

"Don't usually love a backmarker, but Seamus is OK by me. They'll go mad in this and this guy is a real chaser."

Swooper - Famous Seamus will love the pace on up front
