Read on for our Daily Racing Tips on Thursday 29th January, including Scone tips and Pakenham best bets.
ST FAITH’S resumes in a winnable race at Scone.
St Faith’s hasn’t been seen at the races since May, but she was only just denied on debut in featured company at Muswellbrook before ending her debut prep a credible sixth in the Listed Woodlands here at Scone.
She’s trialled up nicely and can hit the ground running today.
| 5. St Faith’s (10) J: Mitchell Bell 57.5kg 26xT: Annabel & Rob Archibald |
BEYOND MY KEN is second up and primed to strike at Scone.
The Ten Sovereigns gelding turned in some fine performances last time in, winning in Class 1 company at Muswellbrook most notably, while he was only just denied in BM58 company at Taree when resuming this time.
With natural improvement, he looks well placed to go one better today.
| 1. Beyond My Ken (7) J: Ella Drew 63.5kg 510×2T: Scott Singleton |
MEET ME HALFWAY has turned in two nice performances since debuting and gets a great chance to win this evening at Pakenham.
She trialled up quite well prior to debuting and both starts so far have had plenty of merit.
With further improvement, this looks a great opportunity for her to begin her rise through the grades.
| 4. Meet Me Halfway (5) J: Daniel Stackhouse 57kg 23T: Ben, Will & Jd Hayes |
OTAGO gets a nice chance to win tonight at Pakenham.
He’s yet to strike in four runs back this time, but Otago has been stepping out in far stronger company than he meets tonight and was last seen finishing eighth over a mile at Flemington.
In peak order and back in class, I think he gets plenty of ticks in this line up.
| 1. Otago (1) J: Beau Mertens 60.5kg x6458T: Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr |
