BEST BET - #2 - Extremely Lucky (NEXT BEST)
Extremely Lucky is an extremely annoying horse to understand but if he brings his best he takes this out easily. He is a former O’Shea and Clarken trained horse who was putting in massive efforts this time last year and all signs were pointing towards the Everest but after taking out the Lightning in good fashion it all fell apart. He’s with Waller now and has been trialling very well for his return. Rosehill, Waller, a bunch of experience on the track, looks a good set up if he shows up but $2.30 is pretty short.
THE DANGER - #6 - Devil’s Throat
We’ve had Devil’s Throat a few times in our free horse racing tips and I am not going to lie at this point he is becoming costly as to follow but I do think he deserves another chance after never being a winning chance in the Ramornie last time out where he was posted wide in the run where the race turned into a tactical battle sit and sprint and he faded late. He’s had a nice tick over trial win in between runs and now draws a decent gate and comes back to the track that he loves the most from Grafton.
VALUE BET - #3 - Vreneli
Another Waterhouse / Bott product that has been put forward for this race is Vreneli who could return to racing in a big way with two wins from three runs at this track and a fresh win and placing from four runs. He is a track speciliast here that gets the booking of Hyeronimous and comes off a 21 week spell when being eased out of the National Sprint at Canberra earlier this year and he has been absolutely flying in his two lead up trials. A win wouldn’t totally shock.
