IASbet.com – Tracy has wood on Underwood field

As the leading Spring Carnival weight-for-age contenders line up in this Saturday’s G1 Underwood Stakes, IASbet.com bookmaker Mark Read advises punters to shop for value rather than stepping into the $2.60 favourite Whobegotyou.

“No doubt, Whobegotyou is the best weight-for-age horse currently going around,” Read stated.  “However, the quick turnaround and getting back in the field in a race without much early speed at Caulfield concerns me.

“On the other hand, Typhoon Tracy ($7.50) will enjoy a soft lead, is at peak fitness and relishes the Caulfield track.  I regard her as a legitimate each way investment.”

With a firm track expected with the rail in the true position, Read believes Heart Of Dreams ($8.00) will be a likely improver.  “He’s had no luck recently and draws well here,” Read added.  “Bookies are entitled to risk Vigor ($6.00).  The Danny O’Brien trained five year old is now looking for further.  I also believe Predatory Pricer ($12.00) is likely to be unsuited by the inside draw, and therefore he is another horse I intend to lay.”
