Another Value Bet of the day, Iridescent, $11 into $7.50, powers home down the outside to win well. Smart ride by @JasmineFawcett2 to be decisive early to go back, rather than go forward as was the pre-race plan.

[Neil Davis @formpro]

A top ride by Masa Hashizume gets up the value bet of the day, Grand Gallo $7. And then backs up on Pick Of The Litter $13 identified as the value runner of that race- Rated Price $8.50. Stayed well off the inside all the way with a smart ride.

Live On Air sat 3 wide in the open and stuck on well but missed a placing. Coney Island $6.50, top rated, walked in with Chris Dell steering.

[Neil Davis @formpro]

Top front running ride by @MattCartwrigh14 gets the bet of the day Kia Kaha $8 home well. A mixture of form analysis, Ratings, trials sectionals and AI makes for a profitable day. Live On Air is a solid eachway chance at $13 in the last.

[Neil Davis @formpro]

Angels Brew and Anton, the bet and the value bet of the day, win at excellent odds at Cambridge with top rides. Exclusive trials sectionals the key in Angels Brew win.

Toni Davies gets home Bean A Pleasure as Value Bet of the day- $15 into $9. Top ride shows she is one to watch out for over the next few months

[Neil Davis @formpro]

Good way to finish the weekend off for subscribers- 4 from 4 winners At Tauherenikau. Decent tracks do help.

[Neil Davis @formpro]

Another Value Bet wins well - Dubai’s Potoki $6.50 - looks in for a good Winter as trainer @ChrissyBambry said he will get better with time. Manners were much better too.

[Neil Davis @formpro]

One of only two selections all day:
Confidence:2/5 Value Bet of the day 1st $12

4.Lae Zee has a very good bog track action which could get her into a place or if they go hard could win. Goes well on the fresh side and has a 4kg allowance. RP $4.50, $7 and $2 Top 3

[Neil Davis @formpro]

A well timed finish on Lae Zee, value bet of the day, gets Hyeontaek Oh his first winner at Matamata at a great price of $12. Didn't touch her with the whip and nice balance. Looks a 4kg claimer worth following.

[Neil Davis @formpro]

@TracksideNZ One tough horse. The sectionals he set were strong and proved he is one tough horse! ( Start to finish ) Race time 1.34.58
14.12 10.99 11.56 11.48 11.16 11.03 11.63, 12.62

[Neil Davis @formpro]

@GuerinSports I was at the Matamata open day 20 November with about a dozen others. At the end I asked trainer Andrew Scott for a winner -he thought for a few seconds and replied to us all, Ohope Wins, she’s a very smart filly.

[Neil Davis @formpro]

And Ohope Wins, bet of the day, completes the multi of the day-$10 returns $225

[Neil Davis @formpro]

Terrific win by Bona Sforza at Riccarton. Only recommended bet at Riccarton at $9, Rated price $3! Perfect ride by Ace Lawson-Carroll and top training by Samantha Finnegan.

[Neil Davis @formpro]

@HuntRacing What did you think of McNabs ride on Glance? Just had to get out wider on the turn and she would have cleaned them up.

[Neil Davis @formpro]

@HuntRacing That will be interesting to see. Last race the first 3 came from the fence so unless something drastic happens see no reason why it would.

[Neil Davis @formpro]

@TracksideNZ @HuntRacing Thanks Stephen. Great analysis. The sectionals live on trackside are really helpful too- especially the 200m ones. You have to allow around a second for the opening 400m as it looks as though it is hand triggered.

[Neil Davis @formpro]

And they averaged 12.39 to the 600 over the same distance in the next race.

[Neil Davis @formpro]

Thanks to a perfectly rated front running ride by @rorymhutch, Geneva leads all the way. Rated him a $2.20 chance and a well deserved win. Congrats Kylie Hoskins on presenting him so well.

[Neil Davis @formpro]

He averaged 12.73 seconds to the 600m. Top ride.
