The Battler's Big Value @ The Gold Coast & Randwick

Published: 19 Jun 2015

Crowd favourite - Catkins has gained a big following during her career

The Winter Carnival wraps up this weekend at the Gold Coast and a popular grey will be the focus of attention. 

Chris Waller's CATKINS carries the tag of being the best mare in Australia to never win a Group One. She brings a record of 33 starts for 15 wins and almost $2 million in prize-money to the 'Tatt's Tiara' over 1,400 metres, but until now, the ultimate prize has eluded her.

Can she shake the tag this time?

The Race Guide's Bookie Battler thinks so...

He has a candid look at four value chances at the Gold Coast and Royal Randwick.

TATTERSALL'S CLUB TIARA - Catkins $5

"Waller picked out this Group One for his grey warrior and she's ready to shine. Loves the cut out of the track, this is her race!"

Maiden Group One? - Catkins is well-placed to finally break through

TATTERSALL'S CUP - Surpass $12

"Most of the good ponies in this race are lumping weight. This guy fits in sweetly and loves the conditions. Good value bet."

Cup contender - Surpass carries less weight than the race favourites

Randwick Race 5 - Savoureux $7

"Her name means 'tasty' and she knows how to win at a price. Like the sound of her. I'm on." 

Quickens in the wet - Savoureux won at good odds last start

Randwick Race 8 - Role Model $7.50

"This Waterhouse Warrior is the role model for them all. Puts in every single time."
