Seymour Racing Tips for November 12 – Chips In on galloper stepping up to 1600m

Here are our best bets from the meeting, which also feature in our daily selections.

Chip In looks ready to produce third-up as he steps out to 1600m at Seymour. The Moody and Coleman-trained gelding finished fifth over 1200m on debut at this track last month before finishing seventh, beaten three lengths, behind Majestic Flyer at Sale. He had little chance from worse than midfield in that slowly run race but was doing his best work late. A stronger tempo looks likely here, with a few runners capable of pushing forward, and the extra distance should suit the son of Contributor. From barrier three, he can settle closer and challenge late.

Oceanella appeals as an each-way chance in the final race of the day. She won her first two starts this preparation before finishing a solid fourth, beaten half a length, behind Hustle In Heels over 1200m at Cranbourne. She settled a little too far back in a slowly run race but was strong over the final 600m. This looks no harder, and although she’s likely to get back again from the draw, the stronger anticipated tempo should suit. Expect her to be charging home late.
