Betting Strategy

David's two strongest betting opportunities come back-to-back late in the meeting.

Bella Verona is the main play as his Bet Of The Day in Race 7, before Mickidabeel at $11 provides a much bigger swing as his Best Value Bet Of The Day in the finale.

With the rail pushed further out from the previous Geelong meeting and David's ratings prepared for a Soft surface, it will be worth monitoring how the track is playing through the earlier races before those two key bets arrive.
