Daily Racing Tips – Tuesday, February 1

best bet
Grafton: Race 3 (2:25pm AEDT)
No. 11 Allora Enzo

Allora Enzo has been a consistent performer since debuting, and he won’t be offered a better opportunity to break his maiden than this.

The Proisir gelding was unlucky not to strike during his debut prep, and he has so far finished third and second respectively in races at Doomben and the Sunshine Coast since resuming this time.

Fitter third-up and back to country grade, he is my best bet of the day.

each way
Grafton: Race 4 (3:05pm AEDT)
No. 1 Edge Of Darkness

Edge Of Darkness hasn’t shown a lot in his first two starts under the care of Matt Dunn, but fitter third-up and back to the country circuit today, I think that he has claims on winning.

The So You Think gelding returned some nice efforts for Mark Newnham last time in, winning at Newcastle most notably, but he has finished down the order at Muswellbrook and Ipswich this time.

He gets some relief in the weights today under a claiming apprentice and we can have an each-way play at around the $8 mark.

Grafton: Race 6 (4:20pm AEDT)
No. 1 Helmet Head

Matt Dunn will saddle a few live chances at Grafton today, and Helmet Head looks well placed to strike in Race 6.

Helmet Head has been a consistent performer in races not dissimilar to this one throughout his campaign, and he flashed late to fill the minors at Ipswich most notably.

He’s rock-hard fit, drawn well, and he can fight out the finish again.

Grafton: Race 7 (4:55pm AEDT)
No. 1 Hidden Trust

Hidden Trust takes winning form into the seventh at Grafton today, and he looms as the runner to beat again.

The Hidden Dragon gelding went to the paddock after filling the minors here in August, and he completed an ideal return at Ballina a couple of weeks ago, making light work of a field of maidens.

This is harder, but it looks the next obvious step, and he harbours plenty of upside.
