iForm provides a full preview for all TAB meetings across New South Wales. Here is a list of the best bets for the weekend across the state.
DUBBO RACE 7 NUMBER 6 BON ACCORD GAL (Friday night) – The talented mare looks very hard to beat despite drawing the outside of the front row in tonight’s feature. Has performed well at Menangle previously in stronger races and showed the smaller track was no concern when she won her heat effortlessly last week. Trainer Phillip Thurston and driver Brad Hewitt have formed a good combination and look set to record a Group 3 win.
MENANGLE RACE 7 NUMBER 13 CYCLONE KATE (Saturday night) – Superstar mare that was beaten last week but may have needed the run and should strip fitter this week. Looked unstoppable when she first arrived from New Zealand and looks set to graduate through to open mares’ company. Draws behind a good beginner and should land into a strong position in the early stages and can make a midrace move.
NEWCASTLE RACE 3 NUMBER 7 GIDUP SPANISH RED (Saturday night) – The gelding should enjoy the drop in class as he has been competing at Menangle of late. Was a winner at Goulburn five starts ago in a respectable 1:56.6 and in this small field looks well suited. Gets the services of Jack Trainor and he has driven the horse at two of his past three starts. Looks a great chance to get back into the winners’ list.
INVERELL RACE 3 NUMBER 4 HAYABUSA FLYER (Sunday afternoon) – Should appreciate the move back to the front row after facing back row draws in five of its past six runs. Tom Ison has been booked to take the drive and he drove the gelding when placed second at Tamworth two starts ago. Finds himself in a race where a lot of his rivals are out of form and looks hard to beat.
