Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted January 2 Journalists Share Posted January 2 What Yarra Valley races Where Yarra Valley Racing – Armstrong Grove, Yarra Glen VIC 3775 When Thursday, January 4, 2024 First Race 1:30pm AEDT Visit Dabble Victorian racing heads to Yarra Valley Racecourse on Thursday afternoon, where a competitive eight-race meeting awaits punters. With storms forecast for the region on Tuesday and Wednesday, we expect to be racing on a rain-affected track, not the Good 4 that came up at the time of acceptances, with the likelihood of starting on a Heavy surface seeming like a reality. The rail comes out 3m the entire circuit, with action set to commence at 1:30pm AEDT. Best Bet at Yarra Valley: Midnight Devil Midnight Devil finally broke its maiden at Cranbourne on December 22 and has the scope to go on with the job on Thursday. Having finished second at all three starts this campaign prior to the win, the son of Hellbent looks to have hit his straps as a racehorse. Luke Cartwright will use his 3kg to his advantage and have Midnight Devil tearing along out in front over the 1009m. With just 58.5kg on his back following the claim, Midnight Devil should prove too hard to run down in the penultimate. Best Bet Race 7 – #1 Midnight Devil (7) 4yo Gelding | T: Enver Jusufovic | J: Luke Cartwright (a3) (61.5kg) +100 with Neds Next Best at Yarra Valley: Inordinate Inordinate was the definition of a good thing beat on December 22 at the Yarra Valley 1968m, and a return to the track and trip should see him bring up another win. He drew barrier one on that day and as his rivals made their runs, the son of Onemorenomore simply couldn’t see daylight. He savaged the line once he was clear at the 200m mark, and went down by the barest possible margin. Barrier eight will suit Inordinate a bit better, and as long as he does not get caught wide upon settling, Inordinate should prove too good for this BM58 field. Next Best Race 5 – #1 Inordinate (8) 6yo Gelding | T: Gavin Bedggood | J: Jack Hill (61kg) +290 with Playup Best Value at Yarra Valley: Artspace Artspace has been well-beaten in all three career starts, but the step up to 1968m third-up from a spell might just see him hit his straps. He comes up against a field full of runners who have had more than enough chances to breakthrough, but at just his fourth start, he may just have the fewest convictions. The son of Tavistock really hit the line nicely at Cranbourne when third on December 22, but did show signs of ability. From barrier five, Jordan Childs can land him in the one-one, and with the rise in trip, Artspace can strike at a nice each-way price with horse racing bookmakers. Best Value Race 4 – #5 Artspace (5) 3yo Gelding | T: Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young | J: Jordan Childs (58kg) +1400 with Dabble Thursday quaddie tips for Yarra Valley races Yarra Valley quadrella selections Thursday, January 4, 2024 1-3-10 1-2-3-10 1-5 1-2-3-8-9 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip More horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
