The most favoured horses on Sulky.App are calculated by utilising information such as horse-specific sectional data, race and driver statistics and a variety of likely speed maps.
Below is the most favoured horses on Sulky.App for each race Saturday night at Melton.
These horses may not be the best rated sectionally, but the speed map likely works in their favour and against the better rated horses.
RACE 1: PERFECT CLASS (3)
Perfect Class is looking for a spot in the Eureka, so he will be ready to show how good he is. He does not have the gate speed to lead naturally and will be hoping for Ultimate Vinnie to let him go or wait for cover to come around.
SELECTIONS: PERFECT CLASS (3), YAMBUKIAN (9), KOSIMO (8), TANGO TARA (2)
RACE 2: ALOT LIKE LOUIE (4)
Alot Like Louie has the best recent sectionals overall as well as having a brilliant last 400-metre sprint. He may not find the front, but he will be flashing home.
SELECTIONS: ALOT LIKE LOUIE (4), SHADOW CELT (2), OURMATEMENKO (3), BLASTER RANGER (12)
RACE 3: SMOKEN ACE NZ (6)
Smoken Ace is a classy horse who is lightly raced. He is sectionally a few seconds better than the rest of this field and he should be too good.
SELECTIONS: SMOKEN ACE (6), CLEAR LEFT (2), SETTLEBELLO (3), SWIZZLESTICK (1)
RACE 4: GAWN (9)
Gawn is the class runner in this event with the best recent sectional times. If he brings a good attitude to the track, he should be hard to beat.
SELECTIONS: GAWN (9), HUGO ROCKS (1), JACCKA CONNOR (5), ROADMASTER (2)
RACE 5: COPACABANA (3)
Copacabana is racing well and comes from an in-form stable. If she finds the front and doesn’t have to cover extra distance wide on the track, she may be a great one to follow at a good price.
SELECTIONS: COPACABANA (3), WHOS THE MAN (2), VIRGINA CLOWERS (7), MAJESTICAL BELL (8)
RACE 6: ISTHISJUSTFANTASY (8)
If Roryville holds the front, Isthisjustfantasy gets the perfect trail following the speed. Even if she ends up three-back on the fence, she has the best last 400-metre sprint to be flashing late.
SELECTIONS: ISTHISJUSTFANTASY (8), RORYVILLE (1), ROCKNROLL WALLA (9), HITTHEROADJACK (6)
RACE 7: FIRST DANCE (2)
First Dance was below her best last start. If she is back to her top form, she is a great winning chance from a good barrier.
SELECTIONS: FIRST DANCE (2), LUDACROUS (4), SANDAY (7), RADIUS (3)
RACE 8: UBETCHA TIGERPIE (4)
Ubetcha Tigerpie is racing well and has the best recent sectional times in this field. He has proven recently he can make his own luck and will be hard to beat.
SELECTIONS: UBETCHA TIGERPIE (4), MAGNETIC TERROR (1), TERRY (5), I CAST NO SHADOW (8)
RACE 9: LADIES IN RED (7)
Australia’s best mare Ladies In Red is at least a second faster sectionally than the rest of this top field. A great ambassador for the sport, she should just be winning.
SELECTIONS: LADIES IN RED (7), PROMISELAND (3), RAKERO REBEL (4), SOHO HISTORIA (6)
RACE 10: AARDIES PEAK NZ (9)
No sectionals to look at for Aardies Peak first-up in Australia but her New Zealand races are promising. Her trainer Andy Gath says: “If she trots, she is good enough to win.”
SELECTIONS: AARDIES PEAK NZ (9), KEAYANG XENA (2), HAUTACAM (1), ALL THE TRIX (11)
RACE 11: ONE OVER ALL (7)
In-form trotter One Over All seems to be getting better and better. He has the best recent sectionals in this race. He needs to overcome a tricky barrier, but he may just be too good.
SELECTIONS: ONE OVER ALL (7), ALDEBARAN ZEUS (6), EBONYS AVENGER (1), LOVE GUN (3)
