THE Group Three Garrards Baby Bling Stakes takes centre stage at Tabcorp Park Menangle on Saturday night (August 8).
With a strong support card, TAB has offered a $10,000 First 4 jackpot on the feature which is race six on the program.
The standout in the race for Menangle tipster Amanda Rando is recent Breeders Challenge winner Luda, with Macy Supreme, Sweet Molly O’Shea and Shes A Runa to round out the First 4.
But punters will have to wait until the last race for Amanda’s best bet of the night.
Recent acquisition to the James Rattray stable, Sokys Bigbullet, takes her fancy in race eight.
Despite drawing wide in barrier 10, it was the gelding’s last run with former trainer-driver Bruce Harpley that has her interest where he produced a tough effort after racing outside the leader and finishing second in a rate of 1:53.4.
Rando’s next best is Shannonsablast in race five. Drawn ideally in gate three, the gelding has hardly missed a cheque this preparation and after his strong third-placed effort last week at Menangle, looks promising.
BEST BET – Race 8, Number 10 Sokys Bigbullet
NEXT BEST – Race 5, Number 3 Shannonsablast
