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.”
