Good Form Preview - Manic Monday @ Cobram

The Game Plan for Cobram – with Jason Bonnington (@jasonbonnington)

Best Value

Purple Diva (Race 1 no. 3) $3.50
Pretty simple theory here – this girl is pretty quick off the arm and should roll to the top. In her favour is the fact that she’s not hopeless and she meets a very weak field over the short course. Don’t break the bank as she has just two placings from eight starts to date but she’s well worth a speculative bet with so much in her favour.

Best Quinellas

Race 2

American Para (1) and Trottin Rosco (2) fought out a very similar race to this a fortnight back at Shepparton and should do so again here. The risk is that American Para (1) should get crossed at the start but with N Jack in the bike she’ll be given every opportunity and the Quinella may pay more than the Exacta as Trottin Rosco (2) could be very short.

Race 6

Almost El Eagle (2) is very talented and signalled his intentions for this campaign when smashing his rivals first up at Charlton while Outlaw (9) is a former Kiwi who arrives on Aussie shores with encouraging form and the killer combo of David Aiken and Nathan jack to ensure he’ll get every possible chance. Another race where the low-risk Quinella may pay better than the higher risk Exacta.

The Money Race – Race 7

The theory here is that Forbidden Forest (2) will be first to the pegs before handing up to noted early flyer Dobop (5) in the run. If plan A eventuates then those two horses should fight out the finish but don’t break the bank as Modern Velocity (7) is another noted leader who may upset the apple cart.

2,5/ 2,5/ 4,7,11. $30 gets 500%.
2,5/ 4,7,11/ 2,5. $20 gets 333.33%.



Black Booker (Racing Today)

Forbidden Forest (Race 7 no. 2) $4
This guy first caught the eye running talented 4YO Beau Dandy to a small margin in his Provincial Cup heat before again impressing when getting little luck in the final of that series at Melton. He draws for a soft trip today and in his current form looks a serious winning hope. Click here to view his most recent run.

Star Trialler (Racing Today)

Outlaw (Race 6 no. 9) $2.50
A former Kiwi campaigner with form around Classiesistar and co, he has taken up residence with top trainer David Aiken and enjoyed two Shepparton trial wins to tune him up for his Aussie debut. Almost El Eagle will be a tough nut to crack but he should go well with any luck today. Click here to view his most recent trial.
