We have the best bets picked from across the meeting with a Best Bet and other value selections for  Gatton racetrack.

Race 7: No.10  Six More Songs


The Tony Gollan-trained galloper resumes today after six months off the scene and looks set to produce on fresh legs in this event.

Last start, the Encryption filly ended her last preparation with a disappointing effort when finishing unplaced at Doomben over 1110m.

Just an off day as no abnormalities were found after the race.

She has trialled twice since retuning to work, finishing a close-up second at the Gold Coast in her most recent outing.

Angela Jones rode the filly to victory in her maiden win at Ipswich, first-up last preparation and has the reins for this assignment as well.

She is a winner over the 800m trip and has won first-up previously which are stand-out points on her resume coming in to this BM60 event.

The three-year-old gets all the favours from gate one today where she maps to be box-seating on settling and going off her latest trial, she looks the one to beat in this contest.


Race 8: No.8  Been A Secret


The Toowoomba-based galloper is in great touch this time in and her second visit to Gatton could well end in a victory today.

Last start, the Spill The Beans mare made the trip north to Rockhampton where she carried topweight of 60kgs to victory in a Class 1 Hcp over 1200m, clocking a nippy 1:08.7 for the trip.

That is good form coming into this BM62 event where she steps-up to the 1400m trip again where she has placed three times from her four attempts at the distance.

Chloe Lowe is legged aboard for her second ride on the mare and from gate seven, maps to settle in the first half-dozen.

She has proven to be a consistent mare, finding the podium 12 times from her 16 career starts and with a trouble-free run here, looks a serious chance of taking home the major prize in this contest.

Race 9: No.3  My Cicada


Graham Banks saddles-up My Cicada here who is in top shelf form this time in and is well placed today for another bold effort in this event. 

Last start, the Jet Spur gelding came off a first-up maiden win at Dalby when he finished a close-up second in a BM58 Hcp, here over 1100m.

After setting a solid pace early, he led them into the straight and looked the goods in the run home but was grabbed on the line by one better in the race.

Jake Molloy was aboard on both occasions and steers the ship again in this contest.

He draws gate six today and maps to be on the speed again.

Fitter for two runs back and in great form, he should be there at the finish again in this contest.
