Friday Flash – 3rd April 2020
Fortuna horses racing this week are – MELODY BELLE in the Group One Doncaster Mile at Randwick Saturday 4th April – Race 9 at 7.17pm NZT
Melody Belle is primed for this race but does have to lug topweight of 57kgs. Drawn 14 she will probably jump from 11 with withdrawals of the emergencies – Opie says “perfect draw for her”. Track is a Soft 5 today with significant rain forecast tonight so could race as a Soft 7 – no problem for her. She has firmed a touch in the betting today and is the race favourite at around $7 to $7.50 with most bookies – 3yo Brandenburg who shot into favourtism after barrier draws came out, has eased a bit to $7.50 and Super Seth is around $9.50 – the rest are all double figures – my bet will be 1 unit to Win on Melody Belle and 3 Units to Place – I reckon that’s a smart bet at these sort of odds, plus I am picking Trifecta and First 4 could be huge so will be trying to find the right combinations there as well
No Matamata Track work this week – Fortuna Runners – and there will be none for at least the next four weeks
