New Year Sparklers

Published: 30 Dec 2016

Race tracks around the country host exciting racing to finish off 2016 in style. It all starts with the Canterbury Classic meeting on the east coast and ends over in the west with the running of the Perth Cup.

The team have a couple of Race Guides up for Canterbury now and will be covering all the Melbourne races too. Flemington hosts what shapes as perhaps the lowest graded Group 3 all year on New Year's Day, the Standish only has a few class runners in the field.

The Champagne Bet "Perfect for a Place"

"If by 5pm you're worried about a kitty for the big evening ahead, a couple of place bets could be the play. NICCOLANCE should roll forward and has plenty of quality, while IN HER TIME is a game mare that will be htting the line."

Bet on NICCOLANCE and IN HER TIME to place at $3.15

"Points for Trying"

"Usually place betting isn't top of our list, but ALL TOO HUIYING stands out as a good play in the opening race too. He box seats behind the short-priced favourite and needs to get into the finish to qualify for the Magic Millions."

Bet on ALL TOO HUIYING to place at $3.4

"Skips to the Lead"

"Canterbury is a track that suits certain horses and ALL CERISE fits the profile. She's athletic, corners well, has tactical speed and can quicken off the mark. A nice mix at big odds!"

"The Wonder of Weir"

"THERMAL CURRENT isn't a noted straight track horse, but the Standish isn't your typical Group 3. After a bunch of scratchings we're left with all horses on 58kg and only a handful of chances. It's his first full prep for the champion trainer and he could fly fresh!"

Bet on THERMAL CURRENT at $7.5

"Rockin' til' Monday"

"If THEWAYWEARE lines up in the Tattersals Club Cup on Monday, IGGI POP is set to shine. He'll relish a nice trail behind the rolling leader and can show his superior stamina late."

Bet on IGGI POP now at $3.2
