Visit Ladbrokes |
The Sale Racecourse is scheduled to host a competitive eight-race program on Sunday afternoon. With rain forecast in the Gippsland area in the lead up to Sunday, we expect the track – currently rated a Good 3 – to be in the Soft 5 or 6 region come the first race. In recent times it has been no disadvantage to be up on speed, but horses have managed to win at recent meetings from off the speed, too. With a bit of luck, we can round out the weekend on a winning note, with the first race jumping at 1pm AEST.
Best Bet at Sale – Along The River
We were with the Mathew Ellerton-trained Along The River when he finished second behind the smart Viviane at this track and distance on September 1 and we anticipate he can go one better on Sunday. The four-year-old looked to have peaked on his run inside the final furlong when needing to carry 61.5kg on that day, so the 3kg weight relief he gains on the weekend is sure to benefit his chances. From barrier two, Liam Riordan should be able to stalk the speed throughout and at the top of the straight can have this bloke in clear air, Along The River looks too classy for this lot and at $4 with online bookmakers looks to be a clear best bet of the day on Sunday.

Next Best at Sale – Jenny Jerome
Having won her maiden on July 11, it has been two-months to the day since Jenny Jerome faced race day conditions having broke her maiden at Donald, but we anticipate she will be hard to beat as she steps out in BM64 grade. Prior to that maiden win, she was beaten by 0.2 lengths by the progressive Boogie Dancer who is right in contention for a race like the Thousand Guineas next month. Her convincing maiden win and strong form lines that she possesses, has Jenny Jerome as the one to beat in the last. Harry Coffey will need to be aggressive early from barrier 11 and as long as she does not get trapped wide with no cover throughout, this Churchill filly should prove too good for her rivals. She showed a strong finishing burst at Donald and a repeat effort on Sunday, should see her bring up a second straight win. The $4.40 on offer with online betting sites seems to be a ludicrous price.

Best Value at Sale – Equivocal
Having raced in the Inglis Banner and Group 3 Chairman’s Stakes in her first two career starts, the three-year-old filly Equivocal is set to appreciate the drop back to a country maiden as she resumes from a seven-month spell. The Lonhro filly from the Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young stable was ridden quietly in a Cranbourne trial in the lead-up to this event and looked like she had plenty left in the tank. She may want further than 1100m, but with a genuine tempo expected throughout, the filly is armed with a nice turn of foot and is sure to appreciate the conditions she faces. Blake Shinn is a notable booking and if it is a day where you can make up ground from back in the field, Equivocal looks to be a great play early on in the card.
