Our resident form analyst Nic Ashman has gone searching for value again with a double figure chance in the closer at Eagle Farm on Saturday.
Eagle Farm R9 N15 ZASZOU
“Resumed at Flemington with a career peak fresh rating that suggested this mare could be in for her best prep yet,” Ashman said.
“Struck hot field on Day 2 of The Championships where she sat last trailing COMMEMORATIVE on a tempo where the leaders (about 8L in front of her) went through the first section 7L below standard.
“She did as much as she could clocking Top 10 late splits of the meeting from the 1000m to the post.
“She’s a 1400m horse that will be suited by an off rail run-on track.”
The top price around for ZASZOU as of Friday afternoon was $16.
Nic’s last two each-way value picks have finished 4th and 5th at $23 and $13 respectively. His tips are still striking at 56% since the beginning of last year with 24 collects from 43 selections.
