The Battler's Big Value @ Royal Randwick
Published: 07 Aug 2015
Looms as a big threat - Duccio will be hard to beat at Randwick today
Small fields at Royal Randwick today have kept the bookie's prices on the skinny side, but the value is still there to be found. Horses on the way up leading into the Carnival are the ones to look for, there could be some big winners at big odds.
The Race Guide's Bookie Battler has a candid look at a few value chances.
Today's Big Value: CrownBet's $100 bonus bets if your horse runs 2nd or 3rd in Races 4 and 6 today
Race 3 - DUCCIO $3.40
"Waterhouse will be stoking the fires as the Carnival looms. Reckon this bloke will make a statement."
Standout chance - Duccio is favoured by lots of tipsters on Saturday morning
Race 4 - VOILIER $8
"The aggressive Tye Angland will stand over this fighter and lift him into the finish. Getting on at the odds."
Responds to pressure - Voilier is a genuine three-year-old that fights hard
Race 5 - MARDI $3.40
"Waterhouse would've been livid with Winona last week. Parr won't muck around this time. I'm on."
Tough mare - Mardi can take control and get the win over 1600m
Race 6 - TEMPLE OF BOOM $4.40
"If you're on Team Winona, why jump off now she's made it to the big time. Cheeky bet on this tough guy."
Last chance of a big win? - Veteran sprinter Temple of Boom gets a chance to win at Randwick again
Race 8 - QUEEN OF SHEBA $21
"Jess Taylor could give this little battler a cheap run on the pace. Loving the postage-stamp weight and big odds."
A sweet on-pace run - Queen of Sheba could get some on-pace favours today
