Bathurst Best Bet and Tips from Luke Hovhanesian

Luke continues to nail his best bets at a good rate!

The 5YO gelding Time Ruler has hit peak form and looks primed for another win.

He relished the firmer track last start and showed his staying ability at this distance, putting away his rivals in style.

Now fourth-up and fully fit, he gets another ideal setup to produce a similar performance.

Trainer Carlos Antonio has his team flying, and with Jake Pracey-Holmes sticking in the saddle, he has every chance to go back-to-back.

Look for him to settle midfield before launching late to stake his claim.

This 6YO gelding has been gradually building to peak fitness, and now third-up, he looks ready to fire.

His last-start effort from barrier 11 was eye-catching, closing strongly despite an awkward trip.

This time, from a much more favourable draw (barrier 1), he can settle in a perfect stalking position just behind the leaders.

With even luck in the straight, he has the turn of foot to finish over the top and cause an upset at a good price.
