Good Form Preview - Wednesday Night @ Beckley Park

The Game Plan for Geelong – with Blake Redden (@BlakeRedden)

We have a nice little seven race program from Beckley Park tonight and with a couple of promising horses going around it will not only be worth watching the races tonight, we can single out a couple of bets to throw some cash at in preparation for Friday’s HBV Gold Chalice meeting at Tabcorp Park Melton. We will kick off with a money race in the first followed by a couple of best bets where we should get a decent price about each and then the two-pronged Quaddie to finish things off.

Best Bets ($50 win)

Stunning Jasper (Race 2 No. 5) $4.40

This guy may have only notched up two wins in his 21 starts but not only have both been this preparation, he has turned into a consistent, honest performer. Two starts back he wasn’t far away when fifth behind the promising Basil Knight and last time he stepped cleanly from his similar 10-metre handicap to be beaten less than three metres behind Sunnyandcher. If he can reproduce any of his last five runs then he is the horse to beat tonight.

Liston (Race 3 No. 11) $2.70

Jamie Ennis only recently took over the training of this nine-year-old gelding but his first-up run was full of merit. In a strong claiming race on Cranbourne Cup night he was allowed to stride to the breeze following some slow early sectionals and to fight on for third behind the inform pair of Waterhorse and Cowboy Cadillac suggest he is ready to win a race. Second up tonight he should be fitter and has shown he is versatile enough to overcome the poor draw.

The Money Race

Race 1

We might as well get the cash early because this is a good race with plenty of promising three-year-old’s engaged. Midnight Lights (5) is now in the care of Dean Braun and has trialled nicely at Tabcorp Park just nine days ago. If she can work forward off the arm then you can expect her to finish no worse than second while the principal dangers are Blitzsuzy (1) who was a Lombo winner as a 2YO and should enjoy a nice run , Georgiasgrin (2) who was well backed on debut and put in a nice run and Cosmic Delight (8) who got lost in front on debut and may well enjoy being smothered up and coming with one run.
