Don Casboult Classic (Typhoon Tracy Stakes) Tips

  • To Win: #10 Just Like Gaby ($12 at time of publish) – BET NOW

Wide open edition of the Don Casboult but for value Just Like Gaby looks somewhat forgotten in the marets at $12 at time of publish. Ciaron Maher’s beautifully bred Pierata filly has had five runs for two wins now with both her victories coming back-to-back at her latest starts. She chases a hat-trick up in grade and the big advantage for her is The Valley. Three starts at the course for two wins and a second. Not bad! Some like the tight turns and she’s definitely one. Won over 1000m here by 4.5 lengths two back before carting 58kg to a one-length triumph over the six-furlongs. Same track and trip but down a kilo to 56kg. Needs to rise to the challenge of Group company after a flat seventh to Drifting last August in Caulfield Group 3 Quezette, but she’s flying now, and this is the right course for her.
