Over The Odds – Saturday’s Races 6/3/2021

Sportsbet have got their markets out for racing this Saturday, and we have tried to find four runners that appears overs in betting.

Randwick Race Three Number 6 Joyous Legend ($8):

I reckon there is a decent engine under the hood of Joyous Legend for the Ryan/Alexiou camp. We see so often 2YO’s and their great record at beating older horses. That continued with this girl at Gosford and in two 1000m races for the meeting, her time was clearly the fastest, which is a good sign for a youngster on debut. Confident she can measure up to these.

Randwick Race Five Number 4 Splintex ($13):

If there are eight runners that go to the gates here, I think Splintex is a great gamble at the odds. This is a contender or pretender prep for Splintex. Didn’t quite measure up in the Spring, but go back first up in the Concorde, he warmed to the task very late and was taking good ground off Nature Strip. His trials have been strong and he is one horse who can sit off this brutal speed and launch late.

Randwick Race Eight Number 6 Dawn Passage ($13):

Dawn Passage is a quality animal for the WaterBott camp that resumes. It was a carefully planned Spring prep for this four year old and it all but worked. Ran so well, but found one or two better on the day in each run. Has trialled up super in readiness for his return and has class, plus a good racing pattern. Hard to beat.

Flemington Race Seven Number 3 Spanish Reef ($9.50):

I’d love a positive ride on Spanish Reef. Was hoping that would be the case first up two weeks ago in the Mannerism and after jumping well, she could have landed outside the leader, but they dragged back for cover and she just doesn’t have the change up speed to finish off and win. She’s better when near the front and rolling at her own tempo, so hoping that eventuates here.
