The Money Trail – Warrnambool, May 4

3 minute read

Racing and Sports finds the best-backed runners in early betting on Thursday’s meeting at Warrnambool.

Bold Missile (Race 2) opened well into each way odds but is now a clear favourite at $2.70 after shortening more than five points. The son of Smart Missile is on debut for Henry Dwyer and the market push suggests plenty is expected first up.

Vanilla Gold (Race 5) was well into double figures but when markets opened but steady support has seen hershorten more than eight points and in to favouritism at $4.60. She should be improved by her resuming second and had city form last campaign.

Nikitas (Race 6) is challenging for the top line of betting at $3.80 having more than halved his opening price. He is now in the all conquering Darren Weir yard and the punters expect a big run first up.

I'll'ava'alf (Race 7) is now second pick in the market at $4.60 having shortened more than three points. He tuned up for this by winning on the flat on Tuesday and the punters are keen to double up.

High Church (Race 8) is a well-supported favourite in the Warrnambool Cup at $2.90, two-and-a-half points shorter than his opening price. He was close up in the Easter Cup last start and can continue Darren Weir’s run of success.

Form Preview

The Darren Weir-trained, Irish-bred stayer High Church won most impressively, his sixth win and his first at stakes level, in 26 starts to date. He settled well back in second last place in the 12-horse field, before moving up wide on passing the 700m. He went towards the outside rails on straightening, soon took the lead and then raced away to win effortlessly. The top weight (60kg) Observational settled in last place before tracking the eventual winner from the 600m. He also went deep and the home turn and made ground near the outside rails for second. Unfurl raced in seventh place before improving (deep) at the 600m to challenge at the home turn. She then kept fighting on, also closer to the outside rails, to take a sound third.
