Good Form Preview - Monday @ Cranbourne

The Game Plan for Cranbourne – with Jason Bonnington (@jasonbonnington)
I had a terrific Thursday night raising money for Breast Cancer research with @PoggaSalter on the Ballarat trots but unfortunately after that it was a dirty weekend indeed. Tipping winners wasn’t really the issue at Melton or Bendigo but making money off them was. Rather than recoil however, I’ve spent my Sunday analysing tapes and ripping deep into today’s 10-race Cranbourne card so we can fight back like the caged punting lions that we are! I’m keen on quite a few today but I’ve limited the spread of Best Bets to just two, while identifying 4 Value runners, 1 Money race and 4 potentially fruitful little Qauds.

Best Bets ($50 Win)

Holdonsu (Race 8 no. 11) $5.50
It would be one of the greatest shocks of my punting life if this bloke comes up anything close to the $5.50 marked in today’s Herald Sun but forgetting the price for a minute he should be far too good. There’s usually some question mark over any favourite and for this guy there are two; the fact that he’s first-up for two months and the second line draw. He has gone a long way to offsetting the first by trialling very well behind Fearless Leader at this course recently however and really should outclass this lot today.

Fon Design (Race 9 no. 10) $2.50

This filly has taken a little while to fully hit her straps this campaign but her last couple have been very, very good. She also has the second line draw to contend with so we will want black figures but if we get them a straight out crack is in order for sure.

Best Value ($10 Win $15 Place)

Mor Laag (Race 2 no. 1) $9
This guy is no star but he loves nothing more than trailing the leader in his races and should do just that from his ideal polemarking draw. He would have finished a lot closer from that very position if not for being held up late at Warragul last time out and should at least place with the gun run expected here today.

Fergus Maccool (Race 6 no. 1) $11

He is another bloke who thrives on the kind of cushy peg-line trip he’s almost certain to receive today. He worked home very stylishly from three back the poles last time out and given the extreme likelihood that he’ll trail natural front-runner Classy Guy (2) expect him to get a great cart into the action and finish on the podium somewhere if he does.

Cullen Regent (Race 6 no. 10) $13

This guy can be a little frustrating for punters as he cannot make his own luck and is a completely one-dimensional sit-sprinter but when things pan out in his favour he does possess a blistering 250m burst of speed. If they walk in transit he’s in trouble but if there is some pressure he’ll be charging in the lane.

Big Bang Leonard (Race 10 no. 10) $5

This guy is yet another sit-sprinting type who needs some luck in his races but if you put a line through his disappointing effort at Geelong last start he’s clearly the best horse engaged today. He will want them to go quick early on but if there are some fireworks he’ll be dropping on them late.

The Money Race - Race 4 (Flexi Trifectas for $80)

On the score of pure class McNiven (7) should have this race on toast, outside-front-line-draw and all, but he does have some tricks that he pulls out on occasion. I still think he’ll hunt this lot down late but even if he doesn’t he should run second with the key threats coming from Sketch Me (1) and Loong Nien (4).

Good Form Preview - Kyabram Pacing Cup Day @ Echuca

The Game Plan for Bendigo - with Blake Redden (@BlakeRedden)
It's Kyabram Pacing Cup day at Echuca and while punters are kicking back before the first full working week in recent memory, we can hopefully go out on a winning note with a clear best bet in the main race of the day, two horses who should be over the odds to bookend the program, a nice little money race plus the Quaddie split just two ways.

Good Form Preview - Anzac Night @ Melton

The Game Plan for Melton - with Jason Bonnington (@jasonbonnington)

Best Value ($30 Win)

Blazeaway Macray (Race 7 no. 1) $4.50
I've always had a soft spot for this mare but she finally repaid the faith with her excellent Jodie's Babe win at HQ last time out. This race is tougher than that one as she's tackling the boys over a longer trip but the lead will once again be hers if she wants it and if she thieves a quarter they'll have a real hard time running her down at what should be OK odds.

Best Roughies - TAB Fixed Odds ($10 Win $30 Place)

Duke Of The Moment (Race 3 no. 3) $21/$3.66 TAB Fixed Odds
The record will show that the last time this bloke took on Brunelleschi (7) and co he was beaten 32m but the fact of the matter is that he was travelling like the winner before he broke up late on that occasion. Since then he's all but won the McNamara Memorial Trotters Cup off 20m & finished close up behind Aleppo Midas (12). Add to those facts that he's a huge chance of finding the lead here and loves the long distance trip and the $21 looks very juicy indeed.

Tsonga (Race 3 no. 9) $21/ $3.66 TAB Fixed Odds
This bloke has enjoyed an unbelievably fruitful Country Cup season and simply loves long distance trips from the standing start. In recent starts he's gone within a whisker of beating El Paco in the Wangaratta Cup after spotting him a 30m start, won the Echuca Cup off 30m and run home boldly at Geelong and Mildura from impossible 40m imposts. He is a brilliant beginner from the strands, won't know himself off the front mark here and can easily win at a crazily inflated Fixed Odds quote.

Whata Avenue (Race 6 no. 6) $16/$3 TAB Fixed Odds
Goodtime Marjie (7) is certainly the one to beat here but she isn't the soundest mare going around and if she's just off her game then the above mare can rifle forward early, perhaps even find the front and prove awfully difficult to beat if she does. Even if the favourite comfortably wins I still think this girl is a massive place hope at the excellent quote of $3 the drum.

The Money Races

Race 2 (Flexi Trifecta for $40)

Follow The Stars (10) looks like being dominant here while Monivae (5) and Artistic Flite (8) are the chief and perhaps only silver medal hopes. We won't make our fortune out of this race but it could kick off a tidy string of exotics for the night.

10/ 5,8/ 1,5,6,8,11. $40 gets 500%

Race 4 (Flexi Trifectas for $50)

Chilli Palmer (5) is a dead-set freak and if he's anywhere near his best he could sit anywhere in this small field and still prove too nippy in the stretch. Likely leader Our Blackbird (3) and enduring champ Smoken Up (8) are the obvious silver medal hopes but I've also made provision for Come On Frank (4) or Five Star Anvil (7) to fill that role.

5/ 3,8/ 1,3,4,7,8. $40 gets 500%
5/ 4,7/ 1,3,4,7,8. $10 gets 125%

Race 5 (Flexi Trifectas for $50)

If my Speed Map is right then Whereibylong (1) will hold up early before handing up to Mindarie Priddy (6) and they will dominate from there with equally talented filly Quick Draft (7) the only hope of causing a minor upset. Those three fillies would appear to have a mortgage on this race but untapped ex-Kiwi Our Cavort (5) and the lovable Bettors Package (11) can both sneak into third.

1,6/ 1,6,7/ 1,6,7. $32 gets 800%
1,6/ 1,6,7/ 5,11. $12 gets 200%
7/ 1,6/ 1,6. $4 gets 200%
7/ 1,6/ 5,11. $2 gets 50%

Race 6 (Flexi Trifectas for $60)

Goodtime Marjie (7) is the obvious measuring stick here. If she's good to go and gets an OK run she'll win or run second at very worst with three key rivals comprising Whata Avenue (6), Eye Like Candy (9) and Tombstone Eden (10) likely to join her on the dais.

7/ 6,9,10/ 6,9,10. $30 gets 500%
7/ 6,9,10/ 1,3,4,5,8. $15 gets 100%
6,9,10/ 7/ 6,9,10. $10 gets 166.67%

Tabcorp Park Trainer Talk – Emma Stewart
Best Chance
Whereibylong (Race 5 no.1) $2.50
“I think she will turn the tables on Mindarie Priddy. The 2240 metres suits our filly and a better barrier is ideal. She can either lead or take a sit so she will be our best hope through the entire Oaks series.”

Others
Atticus (Race 2 no.11) $16
“He’s a nice enough sort of horse and the race experience will help him but it’s a nice field so he’ll find it a little hard.”

Celebrity Lass (Race 5 no.9) $26
“This is a tough ask for her but she’s earnt the chance to race against the better ones now.”

Bettors Package (Race 5 no.11) $16
“She’s a great little filly who tries really hard. She will need the right run but if she gets it she will let them know she is there.”

Goodtime Marjie (Race 6 no.7) $2.20
“She’s a lovely mare, she’s got a lot of soundness issues so we try to race her sparingly but she’s pretty good. She’s one of our better four-year-old mares and I think she is up to the likes of Beauty Secret who was good last season at that age.”

Hexham Heartbeat (Race 6 no.11)
“If she gets a run she’d be a great hope.”

Jadahson (Race 7 no.6) $6.50
“He’s been racing a bit fierce in his last couple and beating himself so we’ve got to try and slow him up a bit but his form has been good.”

Metro Mike (Race 7 no.9) $5.50
“He’s a nice big strong horse and we expect him to improve and go through the grades so he should run a top race.”

Punch Line (Race 8 no.1) $7.50
“Her run was better than what it looked when you look at the sectionals. She’s probably our best hope in that race.”

Berisari (Race 8 no.5) $12
“She’s surprised us this time in because she never really showed a lot last time in so she’s definitely the smoky.”

Our Petite Soeur (Race 8 no.7) $34
“She can mix her form a bit and she does have some soundness issues but if the right one turns up they’ll know she’s there.”

Ideal For Real (Race 7 no.9) $14
“He’s our best two-year-old colt so far but he’s very green and he doesn’t know what he’s doing yet but he should go pretty well.”

Good Form Preview - Tuesday Night @ Geelong

The Game Plan for Geelong – with Jason Bonnington (@jasonbonnington)
Put very simply, we really need a win. It hasn’t been all doom and gloom of recent times but when we have picked up a collect it hasn’t been as big as I would have liked and we’ve had more three-legged Quaddies than I can almost bare. The key plan here is to steer clear of exotics and just target three shorties in an all-up and two value runners along with five potentially fruitful Quads.

Best Bets/ All-Up ($50)

Motu Young Jacob (Race 3 no. 6) $1.50
Monte specialist racing in great form who should win this race for fun.

Courageousnquick (Race 4 no. 3) $2

Brilliant beginner and likely leader who is racing in great nick and should be ideally suited by the short course trip.

Lady Patti (Race 6 no. 10) $1.50

Levels above her rivals on her very best form and will only need an inch of luck here to prove far too good.

Best Value ($20 Each Way)

Zharis Idol (Race 2 no. 10) $6.50
Not sure we’ll get this sort of price about the above filly but even if we don’t I think she’s comfortably the horse they have to roll.

Big Bang Leonard (Race 5 no. 13) $9

I really like this guy. It’s never easy to win from outside the second line at Geelong but he’s very, very fast and if the speed is on early and he gets a cart into things I honestly think he’ll drop on this lot late.

The Quads (x5 for $120)

Best Bets/ Formula 2 ($60 gets 20 units)

Glenferrie Typhoon (Race 1 no. 6) $1.60
To suggest I have a lot of time for this horse would be one of history's great understatements. He is, quite simply, one of Victorian squaregaiting's fastest rising stars. The obstacles for him today are the 30m handicap over a shortish trotting trip and the unique, hard-to-make-ground-on, Warragul circuit. I trust him to overcome both though and prove a world too good.

Quite A Moment (Race 8 no. 8) $3.80
Nothing much has gone right for this Breeders Crown-winning mare in recent starts and she's probably on her last chance this campaign with me, but I know in my heart of hearts that she's comfortably the quickest and most gifted trotter in this field and will only need to do everythiung right for a change to put these to the sword.

McNiven (Race 7 no. 7) $3
I must say I had to look twice when this bloke wasn't favourite for this race in today's Herald Sun. I haven't always been his biggest fan because he can get his head on the side and try to throw races away but his last few have been outstanding and I'm just not sure if any other horse in this field could have mixed it with Major Crocker the way he has at his past couple of outings.

Best Roughie ($10 x $30)

Duke Of The Moment (Race 5 no. 10) $11
I've already outlined my preference for Quite A Moment (8) but I still find it hard to believe that this bloke could be at a double figure quote after almost winning the McNamara Memorial Trotters Cup at Geelong then placing behind Aleppo Midas at Melton's Tabcorp Park.

Good Form Preview - Tuesday Night @ Shepparton

The Game Plan for Shepparton – with Blake Redden (@BlakeRedden)
It might still be early in the week but I think we’ve found ourselves a pretty nice meeting at Shepparton tonight. I’m confident we can nail down atleast three winners at flip of the coin or better so we will couple together our four best chances in a formula three which should turn a good profit if we can get them home. Such is the belief in the best bets we are going to drag out a couple of money races to try and double up on our profits and then we will finish off with a Quaddie split four ways to hopefully ensure a result.

Best Bets/ All Up Formula 3 ($100 gets 25 units)
Our Artistic Leigh (Race 1 No.3) $2.60
You can put a line through this girl’s last start as she went roughly mid-race when second favourite in what was a much stronger race. Prior to that she finished fourth to NSW Oaks contender Spicy Stride and even earlier in her preparation put together two solid wins. She is likely here for a qualifier of the Victoria Oaks so expect her to get the job done on the way to better races.

Passing Thru (Race 3 No.2) $2.10
It was hard to tell just exactly where this guy was at following his first two wins in lower class but perhaps his most impressive performance was his last start third behind Yelspa. He has to sit parked in a much tougher race there and with the likelihood of crossing down to the pegs first and Kensington Palace (7) firing across at the start, he should be in the first two or three in running and looks to have a class edge from there.

Wolfpack (Race 4 No.5) $1.90
Quite simply, although this guy is first-up, he has some talent and looks classes above his rivals here. His winning strike rate of five from 32 is OK and he generally gets the job done when he should. For that reason and the fact that he should find the front in the early stages, he looks a key anchor in our Formula bet today.

Baccarat (Race 5 No.7) $2.50
In a genuine match-race I fancy this fella to just get the upper hand over his major rival Eye Like Candy (5). There is no doubt the latter has plenty of talent and is a winner of five from six however Baccarat (5) has an extra trial under his belt and really turned it on last preparation, going from a promising horse to genuine race-winner. His 10-metre sixth to Keayang Steamer two starts ago says it all. He has made a habit of cleaning up these races when he drops back in grade and hopefully if we are alive, he will finish off the Formula nicely.

The Money Races ($50 flexi trifectas)
Race 3
As mentioned, Passing Thru (2) looks to be a pretty handy horse on the rise and if the scenario ensues where Kensington Palace (7) rushes to the lead over him early, then it's almost impossible to see our top tip being beaten, however we will play one saver trifecta just in case the likely leader turns up in his best form.

2/7/3,4,9. $26 gets 866.67%
2/3,4,9/7. $18 gets 300%
7/2/3,4,9. $6 gets 200%

Race 5
This race is really going to be the turning point of our day from a punting perspective. Both Eye Like Candy (5) and Baccarat (7) looks to be panels above their rivals and for all intents and purposes they should quinella the race. With limited hopes for third we are going to play the trifecta’s outlined to try and make some extra coin from the race.

5,7/5,7/1,9,10,12. $26 gets 325%

Good Form Preview - Monday @ Yarra Valley

The Game Plan for Yarra Valley – with Jason Bonnington (@jasonbonnington)
We couldn’t retire on what we profited over the last seven days but it was another winning week and I usually love punting at the picturesque Yarra Valley circuit so I’m confident of kicking the week off on a winning note. Having said that, this is a much more aggressive Game Plan than normal so it could be feast or famine with 1 good value Best Bet, 1 very good value Best Value, 2 Money races & some Quads.

Best Bet ($25 Each Way)

Jean Baptiste (Race 7 no. 8) $4.80
This bloke made a big impression in his debut Aussie prep for Lance Justice, finishing on the dais in all 7 starts and winning 3. He’s trialled pretty well in strong fields without setting the world on fire in preparation for his return but the two crucial keys for him in my opinion are that he’s the most progressive horse engaged and there should be more than enough earl/mid0race pressure to give him a chance to drop on his rivals in the lane.

Best Value ($15 Win $35 Place)

Blitzsuzy (Race 2 no. 6) $11
This filly is no superstar but what she lacks in outright brilliance she makes up for in heart and after facing some very handy horses at her past four or five runs I think she’ll relish the big drop in grade that this race represents. I also think she’ll be hugely advantaged by a solid speed throughout and a crucial switch to the Ross Sugars barn.

The Money Race (Flexi Trifectas for $50 Each)

Race 3
This is aggressive. Simply put, I think Invasive (8) and Nico Serrano (9) will be way too good for their rivals and if they both stay in gait they should run the Quinella. I’ve also isolated likely leader Conchs Critter (4) and the very consistent Drop Of Paradise (3) as the only other threats although this really is a feast or famine kind of bet.

8,9/ 8,9/ 3,4. $30 gets 750%

8,9/ 3,4/ 8,9. $12 gets 300%
8,9/ 3,4/ 3,4. $8 gets 200%

Race 5

The polemarking draw is a tiny concern for Sapphire Swayze (1) here but on the score of talent alone he has panels on his rivals here today. He also has the great Gavin Lang on board so should win comfortably. If he does do that and the in-form Asoka (4) shares a place on the podium with him then we should get something from the Tricks outlined below.
