Tara Laing – saddles Arion Express
Bobby Bean writes that her last start should be ignored as it is evident that she does not enjoy the grass. In her two runs prior to her latest start she finished second when racing on this surface.
She goes over the 1900m today with jockey Chase Maujean aboard and with the race being on the polytrack, the pair should be running on best of all in the run down to the line.
The value bet of the day comes in Race 5 with Red Herring.
In her last few starts she has not finished too far off the winner. She is a horse that likes to race handy in her races and from gate one in this contest with Lukas Bester retaining the ride, she should be right there in the run down to the line.
The false rail is set at 3m out at the 421m mark.
