Gosford is set to host eight provincial races this Thursday afternoon, and HorseBetting’s New South Wales racing analyst has picked out his best bets and quaddie numbers for the meeting. The track is rated a Soft 7 and should play evenly throughout the day with the rail in the true position. The first race is set to get underway at 12:10pm AEST.
Best Bet at Gosford – Po Kare Kare
Po Kare Kare, a filly by Savabeel, has had just the three starts, running third twice and winning stylishly at only her second career start back in January. Following her maiden win, Heys sent her for a spell, before she resumed on the Kensington track on May 18 with a respectable third. She came wide under James McDonald that day and it just wasn’t the place to be, so we are happy to forgive her for that. She does have a bad barrier (13) to contend with on Thursday and 61.5kg is a big weight to carry, but it is a reasonably compressed weight scale and she does look to be a fair bit better than these, so we expect her to go close.

Next Best at Gosford – Boomsong
Mark Newnham and Tom Sherry combine in the fifth race of the day with the talented Boomsong, who comes back to 1000m following a narrow defeat when favourite over 1200m on May 17. Whether or not it was a case of the winner being too good, second-up syndrome, or just the 1200m being a bridge too far remains to be seen, but now third-up and back to 1000m should leave the three-year-old gelding with no excuses. The son of Your Song will find the front from barrier two and take plenty of catching at a track he should appreciate.

Best Value at Gosford – Foolish
If you are prepared to put a pen through Foolish’s 25-length defeat last start, the Kim Waugh-trained three-year-old could be a decent betting proposition in race three. The son of Nicconi usually leads in his races or is at least handy, but the chances of that were thrown out the window when he was tardy out of the gates on May 19 at Hawkesbury, so he settled last on the fence. He seemed to clip heels or cop a check inside the 600m, causing him to lost more ground. Jay Ford eased him out of the race in the straight, and he didn’t take part. Forget that and go to a recent trial at Gosford on June 3. He jumped well, held the fence and kicked clear to win it by over half a length, so we are prepared to say last start was an abnormality and he is better than that. At big odds with online bookies, this gelding can go close to winning his maiden on Thursday.
