Visit Dabble |
Good Friday racing in Victoria heads to the picturesque Yarra Valley, where the $500,000 Country Discovery (1200m) headlines an eight-race program. The track is rated a Good 4, with the rail in the true position throughout. The action from Yarra Valley is set to commence at 1:15pm AEDT.
The Country Discovery Tip: Brudenell
Brudenell was a smart winner of the Listed Bel Esprit Stakes (1200m) when stalking the speed and pouncing late in the piece. Prior to that win, the four-year-old gelding was beaten by two lengths in the Group 1 Oakleigh Plate (1100m), and that form reads well for Friday’s feature. Mark Zahra will have the son of Russian Revolution on the heels of the leaders throughout, and with even luck in the home straight, Brudenell should be winning once again.

Best Bet at Yarra Valley: Princess Duhallow
Princess Duhallow was far from disgraced first-up at Flemington, leading the field up over 1100m before fading late to finish fifth. She was beaten by the classy Hedged but finished alongside subsequent stakes winner Gumdrops in doing so. From barrier one, Michael Dee will have her settled in the first four at the very worst, but if the pair can hold the lead from the gun draw, Princess Duhallow should prove a touch too classy in the opener.

Next Best at Yarra Valley: In Her Stride
In Her Stride brought up back-to-back wins with a determined effort on the Caulfield Heath track when benefiting from a 3kg claim. She gets Luke Cartwright’s services on Good Friday, and with his 2kg claim, the pair will look to hold the rail and sit on the heels of the leader throughout. With just 58.5kg on her back, In Her Stride should have no issue sprinting sharply and only needs an ounce of luck to salute in the Yarra Valley finale.
