Meet the tipster
Sam Englezos, most commonly known as The Saminator on the socials, is 20, studies Data Science at Deakin, and has been obsessed with the form guide and trying to pick winners since he was six years old.
Every Thursday on his YouTube channel he releases a preview video running through the horses he likes around the country for the upcoming Saturday of racing. For this week, here are the horses he likes the look of.
Sam’s Best Bets
4 selections
Sam stakes to units. One unit is whatever a single bet is worth to you, so a 1.5u bet is one and a half times the size of your normal bet. Prices quoted were available when he wrote this.
Best bet of the day
Rosehill · Race 1 · Midway Handicap (1300m)
#7 BETTER LATE
To win
3u
$2.45
I’d have to lean to this horse as my best bet of the day. It was narrowly defeated last start at this track and in this class.
James McDonald goes aboard, it should go straight to the front, and take some running down!
Bet 2
Mornington · Race 2 · Benchmark 70 (1200m)
#16 TSARINE
To win
0.5u
$6.50
Just a small play from me here, as I don’t typically like backing backmarkers around Mornington. However, this mare was dominant last start, winning by a big margin at this track.
From the wide gate, she should get back again, but hopefully be charging home!
KRUZEY note: Tsarine is an emergency in this race, so she needs a scratching to gain a start. Check the final field before you back her.
Bet 3
Toowoomba · Race 1 · 0 to 65 Handicap (1300m)
#10 PERLE DE CHOCOLAT
To win
0.75u
$5
This 4yo mare is 4th-up today. She recorded a dominant win first-up at the Sunny Coast before having no luck at her past two starts up in grade.
She maps for the most ideal run from the barrier on Saturday, and looks hard to beat.
Bet 4
Toowoomba · Race 3 · Benchmark 70 (1625m)
#16 HELLO DOLLY DIVA
To win
3u
$3
This girl won well last start at Dalby. She goes up in class, but drops in weight because of it.
I’m really hoping they push forward from that outside draw and try to land in front. I believe that will give her a major chance in this race.
KRUZEY note: Hello Dolly Diva is an emergency in this race, so she needs a scratching to gain a start. Check the final field before you back her.
