Best From The West - January 9

The Best From The West is back and after a fairly profitable Summer we are looking to build the bank further in 2016.

While most eyes are on the Gold Coast for the Magic Millions and the TopBetta Tournament for $50K, Click Here To Play - there is still a good card on at Ascot with some interesting races to play.

As a side note, the Racing And Sports Team will all be having a bash at the big dollars on offer in the TopBetta Magic Millions Tournament so Click Here To Learn About Betting Tournaments, join up, and take us on.

The third event throws up a short priced favourite in Don'tgetcaught and while currently odds-on, it's hard to steer away from the Ben Pearce trained runner.

A model of consistency this time in the son of Dangerous has placed at his last four starts and was only narrowly beaten at this track last weekend.

The step up in trip should suit and the engagement of the Wizard appears key.

Although his opposition are more than capable the fact remains combined they are over 2500 days between wins.

Currently installed a $1.80 chance is close to rock bottom odds, however when priced aggressively there is still a bit of juice left in that price.

The last event presents a number of leading chances, however willing to stick with the Daniel Morton trained Dendee.

Successful in bringing up the hat-trick two back, she was tried in much tougher company last start when ninth behind Ideal Image.

While disappointing on face value her ratings profile didn't waiver all that much and her performance was far better than it first appears.

On best form she appears well placed using Timeform weight adjusted ratings and is better suited dropping back to the mile.

At her current quote of 8-1 she presents plenty of value and is definitely worth an each-way ticket from the favourable draw.

BET OF THE DAY (1): Race 3 #7 Don'tgetcaught @ $1.80

BET OF THE DAY (2): Race 8 #11 Dendee @ $9.00
