Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 12, 2023 Journalists Share Posted July 12, 2023 What Mackay Races Where Mackay Turf Club – 9 Peak Down Hwy, Ooralea QLD 4740 When Friday, July 14, 2023 First Race 12:41pm AEST Visit Ladbrokes The Mackay Turf Club will host a very competitive eight-race card this Friday afternoon. With rain on the forecast for Thursday and Friday, the track should stay at the current rating of a Soft 5, although there is a slight chance of a downgrade. The rail will be in the true position for the entire circuit, with racing set to kick off at 12:41pm AEST. Best Bet at Mackay: Under The Limit After recording his second career victory at Gatton last start, the Ryan Tyrell & Tom Button-trained Under The Limit appears ready to go on with the job. On June 1, this son of Under The Louvre led from start to finish and brought up a dominant two-length victory over Classique Gal and Better Class over 1400m in a QTIS 3YO Benchmark 68 Handicap. Although this three-year-old gelding has been given a six-week freshen, we expect him to return with confidence and adopt similar front-running tactics in an attempt to replicate his last-start success. Best Bet Race 2 – #2 Under The Limit (11) 3yo Gelding | T: Ryan Tyrell & Tom Button | J: Ashley Butler (59kg) Bet with PlayUp Next Best at Mackay: Isis Carmella Isis Carmella was backed into favouritism with most online bookmakers in the Battle Of The Bush Final at Eagle Farm last start, where she finished second behind Art By Concorde – beaten by just over a length. Returning to Mackay should be a recipe for success, as this four-year-old mare has a very solid record at the track (6:4-2-0), while she also has four wins from nine starts at the 1300m. Ben Thompson piloted this daughter of Bel Esprit last start, and he has chosen to stick with her again, which should only be seen as a positive. Next Best Race 7 – #7 Isis Carmella (2) 4yo Mare | T: Kevin Miller | J: Ben Thompson (54kg) Bet with Boombet Best Value at Mackay: Bering Sea The Mark Cochrane-trained Bering Sea went around in the Tattersall’s Gold Cup at Rockhampton as a massive roughie with most online betting sites; however, he ran into a bit of trouble down the home straight and finished an unlucky sixth of 11 in the 1600m contest. With this son of Pierro stepping up in distance to 1800m at Mackay, a track and trip where he owns a solid record of two wins and a third from three starts, he should perform better this time. This seasoned eight-year-old gelding was in great form before his last start, finishing in the top two at his previous four runs. Best Value Race 8 – #3 Bering Sea (9) 8yo Gelding | T: Mark Cochrane | J: Ben Thompson (54kg) Bet with Unibet Friday quaddie tips for Mackay races Mackay quadrella selections Friday, July 14, 2023 3-4-9 3-4-6-8 1-4-6-7 3-4-5 Investment: $144 for 100% More horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
