The brilliant racing action of the summer season continues with the second Festival of Perth Racing meeting this Saturday, November 27, as Ascot Racecourse hosts the $750,000 Group 2 Winterbottom Stakes (1200m).
Shaping up as a cracker showdown of top-class local sprinters, with just one interstate raider lining up after Mick Price’s Victorian galloper True Persuasion failed to gain a flight to Perth, the 2010 Winterbottom Stakes is hailed as one of the chief 1200m races in Australian and features a huge betting pool for punters to clean up from!
Neville Parnham’s Elliotto is our best value roughie to add into your exotics paying a very generous $51 to win and $13.50 to place at Luxbet!
Whitefriars is the narrow favourite in the Winterbottom Stakes betting at Luxbet, the in-form five-year-old coming off back-to-back spring wins in Sydney and Melbourne and tipped to make it a hat-trick after drawing barrier three, paying $4.60 to win on Saturday.
Waratah’s Secret is the second elect in the odds for the prestigious sprint showdown, the David Harrison-trained Oratorio gelding coming off a brave second to Ma Ma Machine in the Group 3 Colonel Reeves Stakes (1100m) here before which they took out the Group 3 Prince of Wales Stakes (1200m) making them a top pick at $5 to win from barrier one.
Marasco is the only other Winterbottom Stakes hopeful at single figure odds, the in-form eight-year-old drawn a little wider in barrier nine for Saturday but a very attractive pick at $6.50 with a strong record at the track and carrying this weight.
With a large field of strong competitors there are a number of other top runners at juicy odds through Luxbet that could cause an upset including local seven-year-old King Kool Kat ($13) in career best form and Colonel Reeves Stakes champion Ma Ma Machine ($15).
The Neville Parnham-trained Elliotto is our best value roughie to add into the exotics, the Group 3 Carbine Club of WA Stakes (1400m) runner-up paying a very generous $51 to win and $13.50 to place at Luxbet.
Set to run as Race 7 at Ascot Racecourse on Saturday afternoon, the 2010 Burswood Winterbottom Stakes is due to jump at 6:45pm (AEDST).
