Best From The West - October 10

3 minute read

The Adam Durrant trained Special Delivery has returned in great order this time in and appears well placed to bring up the hat-trick in the final event at Belmont.

Previously trained by Grant Williams the son of Testa Rossa really impressed first up for his new stable, before narrowly beating the Simon Miller trained Meteoroid last start.

In three attempts over this trip, Special Delivery is unbeaten and is also yet to taste defeat at Belmont.

Tried over the staying trips last preparation, Special Delivery wasn't disgraced, but looks better suited over this distance range.

On best form he remains open to further improvement and with the aid of Clint Johnston-Porter's claim he appears very well placed.

Using Timeform weight adjusted ratings he is clearly the horse to beat and while short in early markets, he still presents value.

Priced using predictive ratings we have Special Delivery marked the $1.70 favourite and hence the $2.50 on offer is a more than worthy gamble.

In the fourth event the Grant Williams trained Mississippian faces some fairly limited opposition and should prove very hard to beat on the quick back up.

An eye catcher last weekend, the son of Oratorio returned a new career peak and looks very hard to beat if able to hold his form.

A winner of three of his 10 career starts, Mississippian has displayed plenty of ability and while his racing pattern is against, trust the Wizard to get him in the right spot.

This season the Grant Williams stable is striking at astounding 38 per cent and is arguably the form trainer in the country.

With the Wizard aboard the Williams stable is striking at 45 per cent and has run at a POT of +30.2%.

Case and point, they are both low-level flying.

The best price on offer about Mississippian was $2.80, which appears more than fair as we have him marked the even money favourite.

He rates as clearly the one to beat and more than happy to stick with him.
