Riccarton Park Race 3 | Best, Value & One to Watch

• betcha Staff
Cool Aza Rene looks set to back up nicely after taking out the win here last start at the same distance on heavy footing. She fought hard through the line to secure a gritty win over El Vanquero, who has since had two race-day wins. Out of five starts, she has won four, including two at this track and distance, and two on heavy tracks. She’s drawn a nice inside gate (3). Talented and deserving of her favourite status, she’s paying $1.95 to win and $1.07 to place. Bet Now VALUE BET 7 Eternal Light Eternal Light is an up-and-coming,…

Check them out below 👇 Hawera Race 7 2 Tor Ment Tor 2 Tor Ment Tor produced two superb performances against the track bias prior to last week at New Plymouth when he was denied racing room at a vital stage.
