David Gately’s Melbourne Best Bets – Sandown Hillside 22/8/26

Bet of the Day – Race 2 #5 Cruiserweight

Cruiserweight gets another chance after his latest performance where the tactics simply didn't suit.

Two starts ago he was shuffled back in running but still produced an explosive finish to round up his rivals and win.

Last start he was ridden completely differently, settling much closer to the speed, and that run is best forgiven.

The plan to ride him colder this time should allow him to return to his preferred racing pattern and produce that powerful finishing burst.

With the right ride and clear air when it matters, Cruiserweight can bounce straight back.

Best Value Bet – Race 6 #8 No Limitation

No Limitation resumes after producing three trial wins in preparation for her return, including an impressive six-length victory in her latest hit-out.

There is also a strong form reference from last preparation.

She was run down late by key rival She's My Ex when fresh and meets that runner 2.5kg better at the weights this time.

She's clearly returned in good order and the weight swing gives her every opportunity to turn the tables.

At around $9, she looks terrific value.
