The Battler's Big Value @ The Gold Coast

Published: 24 Apr 2015

The perfect draw - Jimmy Cassidy will make use of barrier 3 on Waller runner Hawkspur

The tight-turning Gold Coast track takes a certain type of pony to get the prize, and it takes a good punter to stay in-front of the bookies on a day of big fields and lots of chances.

Knowing the horses and their form, combined with a dose of value is the recipe for a win this Saturday.

As always, the Race Guide's Bookie Battler has a candid look at a few gallopers at good odds.
