#9 Savagram @ $4.60<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Looking to maintain an unbeaten record is SAVAGRAM (3)<\/strong>, who scored on debut at Canterbury by 1.8 lengths.<\/p>\n

The 3YO colt by Savabeel didn\u2019t beat much that day, and the form hasn\u2019t stacked up well since, but he had their measure with ease, so it was a professional outing.<\/p>\n

There has been some market confidence, which is a good sign. He drifted to $4.60 before firming back into $4.20, and that\u2019s a solid betting move with Up and Coming Stakes odds for the favourite.<\/p>\n

His chances hinge on how well he jumps from barrier 3. It\u2019s a good place to be, and with Tim Clark riding, he\u2019ll get every chance to win. He is a smart front-running jockey, so expect him to be aggressive coming out of the barriers.<\/p>\n

#10 Genesis Runner @ $5.00<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

There is a lot of hype around GENESIS RUNNER (1)<\/strong>, who scored a smart win at Newcastle last start, and something close to that could be good enough.<\/p>\n

The Freedman-trained colt will make his own luck from the inside barrier, and if his Newcastle win is anything to go by, he could contest the speed throughout the race, which makes for interesting viewing.<\/p>\n

Carrying 53kg puts him on the same line as Savagram, and it\u2019s tough to split them. They have the most potential in this race, and our Up and Coming Stakes tips can\u2019t leave him out at the price.<\/p>\n

His opening odds of $11 didn\u2019t last long, so there has been stable money for the colt.<\/p>\n

Resuming. Not seen since winning won by 2.25 len Newcastle 2yo Hcp June 27 over 1300m on heavy track defeating Street Jewel with 56.5kg at $2.05. On debut fourth of 12 at Newcastle Mid 2yo Mdn June 6 over 1200m, soft track; 3.5 len behind Exit Clause carrying 57kg at $2.40. Impressive winner before the break and has trialled like a bomb.<\/td><\/tr> <\/tbody> <\/table> <\/div>

#11 Savvy Diamond @ $11.00<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

SAVVY DIAMOND (10) <\/strong>might be the second-string runner from the Waterhouse\/Bott stable, but it\u2019s not wise to leave her out of picks.<\/p>\n

The 3YO filly won well on debut at Goulburn against a moderate field before finishing second at Rosehill behind Steel Will, and she finished ahead of Plagiarism, so that\u2019s a quality form guide.<\/p>\n

The barrier draw isn\u2019t ideal, so she will need luck, and she\u2019s taking on the boys. However, she clearly has more ability than most, and she could add value with Up and Coming Stakes odds. We rated her at around $8, so the double-figure odds are generous from bookmakers.<\/p>\n

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, won by 1.0 len at Goulburn on August 3 over 1100m defeating Stronghold carrying 55kg at $4.80. Second-up ran on from midfield; 2nd of 7 in a 3yo Bm72 at this track on August 15 over 1300m, neck behind Steel Will with 52kg at $13. Is another of the Waterhouse\/Bott’s that will get a good look on speed.<\/td><\/tr> <\/tbody> <\/table> <\/div>
