Nick Foot’s Best bets and selections for Caulfield, May 4
Race 2 – BM78 Handicap Fillies & Mares (1100 METRES)
#1 Mawallock – $1.95
Lightly raced Mare for Lindsey Smith that has ‘black type’ written all over her. Dominant wins last preparation and this looks a suitable kick off point in F&M company. FUP last campaign she led them up at The Valley (1200m) and was able to get home -9.8L inside BM for her L600m eased down, that type of performance is reserved for very good horses. Latest J/O at Terang was as slick as they get with a big gap back to stakes placed, TOROGENE. Point and shoot job.
Suggested Bet – Win
Race 3 – BM70 Handicap (1700 METRES)
#1 Cadmus – $4
A very nice return to the track FUP over 1600m at Mornington where he reeled off the 2nd FL400m of the race off a sustained run with condition giving out late in the piece. Drops from BM84 to BM70 company today and gets in well at the weights after the Tatum Bull claim. Looks to have some class on his rivals and is well placed here.
Suggested Bet – Win
Race 7 – BM100 Handicap (1600 METRES)
#3 Here to Shock – $4.6
3rd in the Echuca Cup before winning the Victoria Hcp where he was able to beat subsequent Group 2 winner, SEONEE. Looks well placed from barrier 3 to push forward and hold a spot, has an exceptional 3rd up record (5: 4-1-0) and has been kept up to the mark with a tick over trial between runs.
Suggested Bet – Win
