Muswellbrook Tips: Dean Watling’s Best Bets for Country Championships Qualifier Day
Dean Watling runs through the key races at Muswellbrook including the Country Championships Qualifier, highlighting his best bets and betting insights.
Best Bet: R7 (8) Chidiac
R7
Smart edition of the Racing NSW Country Championship Qualifier here over the 1280m. Solid enough speed expected up front, this’ll suit Chidiac down to the ground. The progressive mare maps ideally here first-up over the 1280m off the back of an electric trial. She’ll be 2–3L in front of the $1.80 favourite Clear Thinking, that’ll likely be the key to this race. It is scary taking on Clear Thinking but at the $1.80 price with the negative map, she does look vulnerable. 3/3 fresh and gets Williams, that’s the positive. Navy Steel comes here in career best form, good roughie at odds. Outside of that, Fingers Hunter can run into the numbers also.
Selections:
8 Chidiac
3 Clear Thinking
2 Navy Steel
9 Fingers Hunter
Suggested Bet – Chidiac Win
