Betsy's Best: Echuca
Matt Welsh thinks Robbie Griffiths can finish 2025 on a winning note at Echuca.
Turf Talk:
- Rail has been in the True at the past few meetings and is again.
- They have tended to edge away from the fence as meetings have progressed.
- Going into the meeting thinking it will play pretty fair.
Race 7
This looks a great race for Little Bighorn. He unsuccessfully protested against the winner first up at Werribee, although despite backing him I must say the stewards made the right call there! That said, he was unlucky. He also wasn’t overly comfortable with the 1100m tempo in a pretty slick affair. Think 1200m here is far more suitable and he maps for the perfect run. This horse clearly has the ratings to be winning a race like this and with even luck that’s exactly what he should do.
Suggested bet: Keen Little Bighorn. The $5 he has opened looks a great price - can back him 1x3 EW at that quote. Think he starts favourite.
