14/09/21 Best bet tips for horse racing at Wangaratta & Taree today

The band is back together, as Rick Morris and Michael Gannon reunite today to tip us into some winners.

Rick has assessed the Wangaratta card and has identified two betting opportunities, whilst Mic has the Taree card covered.

 

Wangaratta is currently rated a Good 4, with the rail out 4m from the 1000m to the winning post and true for the remainder of the circuit.

Meanwhile, Taree will be rain affected with 10-20mm of showers expected. The rail is situated in the true position and the inside will chop up if the downpour comes.

 

Best Bets from Rick Morris

 

Wangaratta Race 4 Tip #9 Aquila Volare $4.20

This Maher & Eustace trained gelding was well supported on debut at Ballarate, where he ran a competitive fourth over 1400m on the synthetic surface.

His run was better than it appeared, as he raced on-pace and cut the breeze before the challengers got the better of him.

He showed great determination to come again on the line, and ended up being beaten by under a length.

He rises to 1590m for this clash which looks ideal, given the way he finished in that first hit out.

He will benefit from that run and astute educator John Allen has taken over the reins this time which is a positive sign.

Allen may opt to find some cover just behind the leaders and make his move on straightening.

I think he can get the job done here and break his maiden.

 

Wangaratta Race 5 Tip #2 Opportunity Lost $6.00

This is another runner coming back from the synthetic to turf and is also back in grade from a BM64.

He finished 1.6 lengths fourth to Full Of Theories which looks a good guide, as that horse won two races within a week.

The David Brideoake trained galloper didn't get a lot of room in the straight and worked to the line nicely when he found fresh air over the concluding stages.

Apprentice Jockey Lachlan Neindorf, who has outridden his claim, should sit midfield in the run before launching late.

This is a very open affair, and he looks a live chance at a nice each way quote.

Taree Race 5 #6 Nothing Sacred $34.00 / $12.00

I've found one under who's well and truly under the radar here.

This lightly raced son of Sacred Falls lines up for his new stable at only his 8th career start and is crying out for a wet track.

Last time out he carried top-weight sitting at the rear of a big field, before being pushed forward to be wide without cover from the 900m mark.

He failed to produce in the straight, but that wasn't surprising given it was a race dominated by runners who where rails in the run on and on-pace.

He's since moved on from the William Freedman yard and joins Sara Ryan's Wyong stable.

Nothing Sacred will be Ryan's first ever runner and the young trainer has high hopes for her galloper.

Ryan commented on Monday "Nothing Sacred has settled well and is thriving being trained in a more low key environment. He has put on good condition and we've seen improvement in his work and expect him to run well tomorrow."

That's a nice push for punters and if we get the desired wet rack, we could well be filling our pockets.
