Danielle Johnson’s Best Bets @ Pukekohe | Friday 14 March

2020/21 New Zealand Jockey Premiership winner Danielle Johnson, who now resides in Hong Kong, has provided us with her top three to follow at Pukekohe on Friday, 14 March. Check them out below 👇

Pukekohe Race 5
6 Vistown
Race time: 

Purely at the odds here. Wasn’t a lot between Our Time, who has been flying, and Vistown last start but one has opened at $2.70 and the other at $6.50. So from a better draw, I’m happy to plump for Vistown at each way odds.

Pukekohe Race 6
9 Waiata
Race time: 

Has had zero luck so far. Scratched from a meeting a few weeks ago so there may have been an issue but at the $14 and $4 here I’m backing the O’Sullivan/Scott team to have her back where they want her. At those odds you don’t need to put much on to find out.

Pukekohe Race 7
4 Hephaestus
Race time: 

All the rage on debut after an easy trial win, but didn’t get a lot of room when required. Has had the unkindest cut of all since being gelded straight after so that suggests he may have had more to offer than what he showed. He is in at Tauranga on Saturday as well so keep an eye on scratchings. If he is scratched here, San Marco is the back up. He opened at $12, and is now at $9.50 and $3. Took a while to get into the clear last time but hit the line well. Each way and top 4 chance in wide race.
