Crimson Advocate

Our experts have selected the Ciaron Maher-trained runner Sammarco as the value power pick for the weekend. Whilst the selections form since arriving in Australia doesn’t jump off the page, it isn’t unusual for imports to take a few runs to settle into their new surroundings. The six-year-old has won Group 1 races in Europe as well as competing consistently over this sort of trip so you can expect to see an improvement this time around.

Form Breakdown

With John Allen on board and a step up to 2540m both being a positive the current odds of $60 to win and $10 to place mark Sammarco down as the standout value bet on the card. With form on soft going and having won previously when third up provides sound reasoning that in what appears to be an open race the top weight has a cracking chance at very attractive odds.
