Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 19, 2022 Journalists Share Posted August 19, 2022 What Sale Races Where Sale Turf Club – 1227 Maffra-Sale Rd, Sale VIC 3850 When Sunday, August 21, 2022 First Race 12:35pm AEST Visit Ladbrokes Sale Turf Club is scheduled to host a competitive eight-race card this Sunday afternoon on a predicted Heavy 9 track. In recent times it has been advantageous to be up on speed at Sale, and with the rail in the true position for this meeting, we expect that trend to continue once again. The day of racing is set to get underway at 12:35pm AEST, while the quaddie kicks off at 2:55pm. Best Bet at Sale – Appealing The Archie Alexander-trained Appealing is the first horse we find in the race book, and he looks to be a clear best bet of the day. The five-year-old mare has finished second at each of her last three starts and gets her chance to bring up a deserved maiden win at start five. With speed drawn either side of the mare, jockey Declan Bates will look to camp on the heels of those leaders so when the moment arises, Appealing will be ready to strike inside the final furlong. She got swamped inside the final 50m at Bendigo on June 30 after hitting the front too early in the home straight and being left vulnerable. If Bates can have her finding the lead inside the last 200m, the even-money quote with online bookmakers looks… Appealing. Best Bet Race 1 – #1 Appealing (4) 5yo Mare | T: Archie Alexander | J: Declan Bates (58kg) $2 with Ladbrokes Next Best at Sale – Brookline We will be hoping it is a successful day for the Archie Alexander and Declan Bates combination as they also combine with Brookline in the opening leg of the quaddie. The five-year-old mare managed to string together consecutive victories this campaign before heading to Flemington, where she chased home the likes of My Yankee Girl and Bella Rouge. Both of those runners would be short odds-on favourites with online betting sites in a race like this, so we expect Brookline to bounce back into the winner’s stall. With all three of her career victories coming on rain-affected going, including two wins from as many starts on Heavy tracks, we are certain she will handle the conditions in front of her at Sale. Bates had Brookline settled in the lead and then outside the leader for those two consecutive victories, and if the mare can be afforded the luxury of leading or settling outside the leader once again, she will be tough to beat. Next Best Race 5 – #3 Brookline (6) 4yo Mare | T: Archie Alexander | J: Declan Bates (60kg) $4.40 with Bet365 Best Value at Sale – Velicina We were with the Matthew Brown-trained Velicina when she resumed from a long spell at Bairnsdale on July 26, and the performance suggested she was in need of the run and could be ready to fire next start. She was beaten under a half-length on that day in Heavy going, so we expect she will handle the conditions with aplomb on Sunday. In a race where there does not appear to be too much early speed, look for Zac Spain to have this mare settled in the one-one throughout. She has a win and two minor placings from four goes on Heavy ground, and considering the two main market fancies are yet to race on a Heavy, Velicina looks to be a great play at a nice price in the penultimate event. Best Value Race 7 – #11 Velicina (7) 5yo Mare | T: Matthew Brown | J: Zac Spain (56kg) $9 with Unibet Sunday quaddie tips for Sale Sale quadrella selections Sunday, August 21, 2022 3-4 1-2-4-7 2-6-11 2-7-10-12 Investment: $96 for 100% More horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
