Check them out below 👇 Pukekohe Race 1 1 Ethereal Star Boasts clearly the best form credentials of the race having finished fourth to Orchestral last campaign in the Karaka Millions 3yo after working hard from an outside gate. Needed her first up run and back in 65 grade here. Will be hard to hold out. Bet Now: Pukekohe Race 1 Whanganui Race 5 7 Petrucci Going better than her form suggests and…

2020/21 New Zealand Jockey Premiership winner Danielle Johnson, who now resides in Hong Kong, has provided us with her top three to follow on Saturday 16 November. Check them out below 👇 Tauranga Race 6 5 Saint Bathans Going far better than his form suggests. Likes the Tauranga track and if the rain arrives, he will be very well placed. Bet Now Riccarton Race 2 8 Sheaf Performed with credit in the Oaks over 2400 metres last season. Closed well to record very good final sectionals on the first day. Can handle dry or wet ground and looks hard to…

Check them out below 👇 Happy Valley Race 2 4 Lucky Touch Not much luck on his side, but his last two starts have been full of merit. Nice trial leading into this with not much pressure put on him. Winnable race. Bet Now: Happy Valley Race 2 Happy Valley Race 6 10 Top Time Got back last start and ran the fastest last 200m…

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 Te Aroha on Tuesday 12 November. Check them out below 👇 Te Aroha Race 6 5 Mesa Verde Given time to get a strong fresh up performance in a good field at Rotorua. Has always appealed as a horse that will go to a far higher rating than this, so looks very placed in this event. Bet Now: Te Aroha Race 6 Te Aroha Race 7 5 Golden Century Showed big improvement from his trials to…

2020/21 New Zealand Jockey Premiership winner Danielle Johnson, who now resides in Hong Kong, has provided us with her top three to follow on Saturday 9 November. Check them out below 👇 Te Rapa Race 1 3 Fashionista Going better than her form suggests. Got too far out of her ground in a strong rating 75 last time but her closing sectionals were excellent. Drops back to rating 65 here and has won going from 1600 metres to 2200 metres in the past. Bet Now Te Rapa Race 8 8 Livid Sky Strong race to finish the day but this…

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 Thursday 7 November. Check them out below 👇 Pukekohe Race 7 10 Permissive Has put together two really strong performances this time in. Bad draw again but gets back anyway. Look for her to be storming home at the business end. Bet Now: Pukekohe Race 7 Pukekohe Race 8 4 Endean Affair I thought this could be a great value bet but the odds setters haven’t missed her, and she has opened up short…

The first Tuesday in November has almost arrived as we look ahead to the 164th running of the race that stops a nation, the time-honoured Melbourne Cup.   This year’s $8.56 million feature features a field made up of the usual international talent, including the well-favoured Buckaroo and returning French raider, Vauban.  Geelong and Bendigo Cup winners Onesmoothoperator and Sea King occupy the second line of betting, while last fortnight’s Moonee Valley Gold Cup winner Okita Soushi has attracted good support after running 11th in the Cup last year.   There’s a case to be made for more than a few in this year’s field,…

We compare every Melbourne Cup runner with an athlete from the world of sport. 1 Vauban (FR) Brian O’Driscoll Has put together a super résumé in the northern hemisphere but struggled when down under. 2 Buckaroo (GB) Reece Walsh He is all class and has put in some super efforts this season. If he finds clear air he’ll be very hard to peg back. 3 Circle Of Fire (GB) Robert Whittaker Began the year with a number of impressive wins but he put in a toothless effort at his latest start. 4 Warp Speed (JPN) Shohei Ohtani Japanese superstar who…

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 Tauranga on Saturday 2 November. Check them out below 👇 Tauranga Race 4 4 Frostfair Has had two tough trips from wide gates in the last couple but still performed very meritoriously. From a better draw here, she should get a more economical run and prove hard to beat. Strong field but the $4 on offer looks acceptable. Bet Now: Tauranga Race 4 Tauranga Race 7 9 Northern Raider Went very hard in front at Te…

2020/21 New Zealand Jockey Premiership winner Danielle Johnson, who now resides in Hong Kong, has provided us with her top two to follow at Ashburton on Sunday 3 November. Check them out below 👇 Ashburton Race 3 10 Super Rosa Showed ability in the North against some talented horses. Looks well placed back in maiden company down South. Have some on for a win but good value for Top 3 and Top 4. Bet Now Ashburton Race 9 1 Spot On Time Looked very good running away from a similar sort of line up on this course last month. Goes…
