Good Form Cobram - Early Edition

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

Best Bet

Modern Mary (Race 5 no. 7) ($2.10)

She is a lovable mare that almost always puts herself into the race. She couldn’t have been more impressive smashing her rivals from the top end last time out & whether she works her way to the top or sits parked today it would be a shock to see her get rolled in this.

Best Quinella

Catchthateye (Race 8 no. 2) & Renayben (Race 8 no. 10)

Put simply, this is a pretty weak race and the top two in commission appear to have a big advantage on their rivals. It’s hard to know where they’ll settle in the run but it really shouldn’t matter, they should still fight out the finish.

Sunday Session Good Form - St Arnaud Cup

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

Best Bet

Longtan Liberator (Race 3 no. 2) ($2.70)

This bloke was a little disappointing from the top end last time but his prior runs were very good and regardless of whether he leads or sits parked this does look his race to lose.

Best Value

Kid Coconut (Race 7 no. 7) ($7)

This guy has won 17 races and looked somewhere near his best when dominating lesser rivals two starts back at Kilmore. This is a wide open race but he’s worth an Each Way wager at the $7 quote.

Best Quinella

Macy Lila (Race 2 no. 5) & Cyclades (race 2 no. 6)

These two pacers should occupy the lead and the breeze from very early on here and it wouldn’t surprise one bit to see them draw away from their rivals. The Quinella won’t pay heaps but should kick the day off to a good start for later on.

Quaddies x 2

6/ 2,3,4,5,8,9/ 1,2,7,8,9/ 1,2,4,6,7,9,12,13. $60 gets 25%.

1,3,4/ 2,3,4,5,8,9/ 1,2,7,8,9/ 1,2,4,6,7,9,12,13. $40 gets 5.56%

Good Form Preview - Saturday @ Bray

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

Best Bet

Manwarra Makamile (Race 5 no. 6) ($1.70)
This bloke is one of many Emma Stewart-trained runners resuming here and he has any amount of talent. The front line draw and opposition both suit. Plus he trialled impressively at this course last week so expect him to be a shade too good first-up tonight.

Best Roughies

Absolutely Awesome (Race 1 no. 1) ($31)
This mare is yet to show her full potential but she’s much more talented than her figure formline would suggest. She’s only a small chance of upsetting the favourite but is worth investing in on a 1x4 basis.

Manningham Park (Race 7 no. 2) ($31)
Another pacer with far more ability than the numbers next to his name, this guy is a quick beginner who should race handy and based on his excellent trial @ Melton recently he’s another worth backing on a 1x4 basis.

Zurbaran (Race 7 no. 6) ($26)
This guy also lines up in the last leg of the Quad and his last start was good enough to suggest he is once again nearing his best, which would be more than good enough to feature in the finish tonight. Again he is a 1x4 proposition at the price.

Best Quinella

Our Missionary Man (Race 2 no. 8) & Union Belle (Race 2 no. 2)

This won’t pay much but should kick the night off to a good start, particularly as the Quinella is likely to pay more than the 8 to beat 2 Exacta & Union Belle does have some little chance of success.

Best Trifectas

Race 5
6/ 9/ 1,2,4,8. $60 gets 1500%.
6/ 1,2,4,8/ 9. $40 gets 1000%.

1,4,5,7,9/ 6/ 2,8,9,10,11/ 1. $30 gets 116.67%

1,4,5,7,9/ 6/ 2,8,9,10,11/ 2,6,8,9. $25 gets 25%.

Best Value Bet

Action Royale (Race 8 no. 9) ($8)

This mare improved nicely second up when chasing home boom pacer Pembrook Caesar & she thrives over the short course trip. Add to that the fact she’ll follow out fast beginner Heyles and may lob leaders back in transit & she seems super value tonight at anything better than $5 the win.

Best Quinellas

Mister Grizzly (Race 10 no. 7) & Cosmic Under Fire (Race 10 no. 8)

Put simply, one of these pacers, Mister Grizzly, arrives here fresh from defeating Melpark Major & Decorated Jasper in the Popular Alm Sprint while the other, Cosmic Under Fire, was narrowly beaten in the Maryborough Gold Cup & that rates them well above their rivals. They can settle anywhere in the run & still run one-two so smash the Quinella & play all your multiples around them fighting out the finish.

Alina (Race 12 no. 3) & Just Live Life (Race 12 no. 7)

These two pacers won heats of the #Goodform Pace Final at Geelong on Monday and also quite simply have their rivals covered for class. It has only aided their case that they’ve both drawn the front line and it would be a minor shock if they didn’t finish first & second here at much better value than our previous Quinella.

Quaddies x 2

1,2,3,5,6,8,11/ 1/ 2,6,7/ 3,5,6,9,10,11,12. $73.50 gets 50%

1,2,3,5,6,8,11/ 9/ 2,6,7/ 3,5,6,9,10,11,12. $26.50 gets 18.02%

Best Bet

Five Oclock Affair (Race 4 no. 8) ($7)

Has a terrific turn of speed and with the likelihood of him having the last shot at Dodge The Bullet he should sprint lane to victory.
