Racing heads to Yarra Valley on Tuesday afternoon and Horsebetting’s Victorian form analyst presents his best bets, top odds and free quaddie numbers. The track has come a Soft 5, with the rail out 3m the entire circuit, for the meeting commencing at 1:15pm AEDT.
Yarra Valley Best Bet – No Baby No
We do not need to wait long for our best bet of the day, when the Leon & Troy Corstens-trained No Baby No steps out in the opening event over 1009m. The three-year-old Shooting to Win filly looked to have a maiden race at Geelong shot to pieces on December 21, but tired late to finish second, beaten by two lengths. That was over 1235m at Geelong, so the step back to the 1009m on Tuesday looks ideal for her to roll along at a genuine tempo out in front. From barrier two, we anticipate the chestnut filly will gain an uncontested lead under Ethan Brown, where we expect the hoop to let a fast horse be a fast horse and try to run her rivals off their feet. She has four minor placings from four starts and we expect it to be fifth time lucky for No Baby No.
Next Best Bet at Yarra Valley – Flying Rex
John Moloney and Jarrod Fry will be looking to go one better with Flying Rex following a narrow defeat at Geelong on December 10. The three-year-old son of Flying Artie gained an ideal run in transit on that day, but simply could not run down a leader on a day where it was advantageous to be a leader. He draws barrier two on Tuesday and we expect Fry to adopt similar tactics and have this bay gelding settled on the heels of the leader. With even luck when entering the home straight, he has shown he has a good enough turn of foot to be winning a shallow maiden like this.
Best Value Bet at Yarra Valley – Lord Domino
Peter Burgun sends Lord Domino to the Yarra Valley following a midfield finish at Moonee Vally behind a smart on December 10. The four-year-old son of Trust in a Gust settled three wide with no cover on that day but weakened in the home straight to be well-beaten in the end. However, this Class 1 affair is much easier back at country level and with apprentice Hannah Le Blanc on board claiming 4kg, he is set to go around with just 56kg in a race he looks more than capable of taking out. From barrier 10, we expect to see Lord Domino settle outside the leader and considering he comes here third-up from a spell, he looks a nice bet at a good price.
