Happy Valley – “A” Course

Oct 5, 2017 (Thursday)

Best Bets –

Phantom Falcon (Race 4, No. 2)

This gelding has finished second in all four career starts. He is well above average and I think he should be too good for this field tonight. Phantom Falcon peaks now and the claim off his back is a big help.

Nassa (Race 8, No. 6)

Comes into this first-up after two recent trials. He showed good ability last prep, but I think we are going to see a more switched on galloper now that he has matured. This is a tricky race, but he has drawn well and I think his class will take him a long way.

Value Bet –

Nitro Express (Race 6, No. 6)

Resumes and has trialed well this time in. He should get a lovely run throughout from barrier six tonight, his form last prep was good and his first-up record reads well. Each way chance.
