“Under the odds!” were the first words from IASbet.com bookmaker Mark Read after viewing the price of Typhoon Tracy in this Saturday’s Group 2 Makybe Diva Stakes.
“$2.50 is far too short. She is no value for a mare to yet prove her worth at the top level.”
In rating the main chances, Read paid credence to the Mick Price trained Heart Of Dreams ($4.60). “This track and distance is the scene of his sensational Cadbury Guineas win, and I expect him to race very handy to the pace on Saturday. He is clearly my top pick in the race.”
Read is also on a mission in the Chelmsford Stakes in Sydney. He will take as many bets as he can on the favourite O’Lonhro ($3.00). “On my ratings, this horse has to again improve on his last start and I do not believe that will happen. O’Lonhro appeared to be very flat hitting the line last time. Court Command ($4.20) is my top selection.”
