Our resident form analyst Nic Ashman is back with his Saturday tip following a winter hiatus and is honing in on a cracking renewal of the Group 1 Memsie Stakes.
Randwick R9 N5/7 PRIVATE EYE/PERICLES
“PRIVATE EYE is the best placed horse in Australia this Saturday. His domestic handicap rating should mean he gives weight to all his rivals,” Ashman said.
“He is at the very least a saver bet in this contest. But the early overs lies with PERICLES who won this race 2 years ago and has taken on MR BRIGHTSIDE in 2 of his last 3 fresh runs.
“Should give a sight on pace. Back them both and I think you will get a result.”
The top price around for PERICLES as of Friday afternoon was $8.50 while PRIVATE EYE was quoted $3.50.
Nic’s tips are striking at 55% since the beginning of last year with 26 collects from 47 selections. Last week his tip TOM KITTEN was scratched behind the gates prior to the running of the Memsie Stakes.
