The Battler's Big Value
Published: 10 Jun 2016
Baker's day? - The Bookie Battler is tipping four Baker horses in Brisbane and Sydney
The Big Value has been paying the bills lately, ODYSSEY MOON winning at $5.5 last weekend and ELLE LOU getting the cash the week before at $14. Now the Bookie Battler has turned a bit 'field shy', playing it safe with a couple of reliable place bets to keep the run going.
He's put his faith in Bjorn Baker at Eagle Farm and Royal Randwick, along with a 50/1 roughie from country Victoria in the Queensland Derby.

The Big Value "Better than Bank Interest"
"Backing reliable horses for a place is a tactic the bookies aren't ready for, they always stick up the same place odds no matter what 'type' of horse it is. PIONEERING and ZATOPAZ in Sydney are two tough horses you can rely on!"
Bet on PIONEERING and ZATOPAZ to place at $3.1

Queensland Derby
"This bloke ran 4th in the Victoria Derby, which was just as good as this race. Only a couple of lengths off them last start and he'll lap up every metre of the 2400m. Massive odds."
Bet on RED ALTO to place at $13

Stradbroke Handicap
"He's beaten some of the best in the Doomben 10,000 and now he's in a Handicap that suits even better. The fav' AZKADELLIA had her chance to get past him last time. Rock solid!"

Queensland Oaks
"Bjorn Baker loves this girl, she's bigger than the rest and I'm betting she's better than the rest too. Hope she grinds them into the Eagle Farm turf from the front."

Randwick Race 4
"Bjorn Baker has only had this guy for a couple of starts and already he is looking the goods. Only got run down by a Queensland Derby contender last start and Koby's claim is the key this winter in Sydney."
