Signore Fox and Easy Eddie share favouritism, while Enchanted Heart sits on the third line of betting. Last year’s winner is a $7.50 chance, with Grand Piano, Catesby and Luna Mia double figures. Easy Eddie will lead this small field, while Catesby and Snitz should also be in a forward position. We thought Enchanted Heart could bounce back in this after being disappointing last time out. Two starts back, the Kris Lees-trained mare defeated Lost And Running by a whisker, who then came out to win by a big margin in his next start, turning the tables on this mare by six lengths. That was on a Good 4 and she is going to get a track with more cut in it this weekend which suit given her very good wet track record. She has drawn beautifully in barrier four which will see her and Jason Collett play a stalking role. 1200m is the concern. Signore Fox is going to get back, but if he can replicate his first-up win in the Star Kingdom Stakes, he will be very hard to beat here. He then ran fifth in the Hall Mark Stakes latest, and while his finishing position was midfield, he only got beaten by 1.3 lengths which is credible. Drawn the outside alley under Tommy Berry, he will be back worse than midfield but will be peaking in fitness and should be coming right down the centre of the track. It is his first crack at Gosford which might not suit him and that’s why he is not on top for us here. There isn’t much value to be had here in our books, so we are going to throw in Easy Eddie to round out the numbers. While he does share favouritism, he will be the one up on speed making his own luck. Drawn barrier seven, Josh Parr will take him over to find the front, and around Gosford that could be all she wrote. The six-year-old son of Super Easy has had two goes at Gosford before and the best result he has walked away with was a second, but given the lack of pressure he will face here, this could be easier to win, despite the quality of race being harder. He will be in it for a long way. $100 betting strategy $100 win Enchanted Heart gosford – Race 6 debortoli wine takeover target Class: open lr Track Rating: 8 2:40pm Track Conditions: TBA debortoli wine takeover ta 1200m 1200m Saturday 2:40pm win place Best odds Fixed jockey 1 Signore Fox Tommy Berry 59.0 2.8 0 2.8bet –bet jockey 2 Easy Eddie Joshua Parr 58.0 3.3 0 3.3bet –bet jockey 3 Snitz Tim Clark 57.0 7.5 0 7.5bet –bet jockey 4 Enchanted Heart Jason Collett 54.0 3.9 0 3.9bet –bet jockey 5 Grand Piano Ms Rachel King 54.0 13 0 13bet –bet jockey 6 Catesby Jay Ford 54.0 21 0 21bet –bet jockey 7 East Asia 0 0 –bet –bet jockey 8 Luna Mia Robbie Dolan 53.0 26 0 26bet –bet More horse racing tips The post Takeover Target Stakes betting tips & strategy | Gosford R6 appeared first on BOAY Racing News.
