Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 4, 2023 Journalists Share Posted August 4, 2023 What Riccarton Races Where Riccarton Park Racecourse – 165 Racecourse Rd, Christchurch, New Zealand When Saturday, August 5, 2023 First Race 11:20pm NZST Visit Ladbrokes The South Island of New Zealand is hosting another race meeting on Saturday, this time at Riccarton. The action kicks off at 11:20am NZST, with 10 races carded on what is likely to be a heavy surface with showery weather forecast on the day. BEST BET AT RICCARTON – THE GOOD SHEPHERD In race eight, Stephen Blair-Edie’s The Good Shepherd looks very hard to beat with jockey Gosen Jogoo again doing the riding. This six-year-old by Power is proven in the mud and is looking for his third win in a row over his favourite distance of 1200m. The wide barrier draw of 10 will not be a problem as the field is smaller and he has the speed to get over the top of his rivals at a nice price with the top racing bookmakers. Best Bet Race 8 – #3 The Good Shepherd (10) 6yo Gelding | T: Stephen Blair-Edie | J: Gosen Jogoo (55.5kg) $2.35 with Bet365 NEXT BEST AT RICCARTON – AMOSIA In race seven, the Lisa Latta-trained Amosia is running over her favourite distance of 1200m and will appreciate the Heavy track rating, where she’s had 16 starts for three wins and six minor placings. There should be a good win price on this horse to be found with jockey Lilly Sutherland doing the riding and claiming 2kg. Next Best Race 7 – #4 Amosia (2) 6yo Mare | T: Lisa Latta | J: Lilly Sutherland (a2) (58kg) $3.40 with Ladbrokes BEST VALUE AT RICCARTON – KICK ON In race nine, the Kevin Myers-trained Kick On should be improved for his engagement in the $110,000 Group 3 Winter Cup after a tidy third at his last start over 1200m. The step up to 1600m is ideal having previously raced 15 times over the distance for five wins and six placings, and the heavy track will not be a problem. With jockey Tina Comignaghi engaged to ride, there should be a good each-way price to be found on this Per Encanto gelding. Best Value Race 9 – #4 Kick On (6) 6yo Gelding | T: Kevin Myers | J: Tina Comignaghi (54kg) $10 with Bet365 Saturday quaddie tips for Riccarton races Riccarton quadrella selections Saturday, August 5, 2023 4-5-13 3-4 1-4-5 1-3-4-15 Investment: $72 for 100% More horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
