Michael Manley – Underwood Stakes Day Best Bets 19/9/26

 

Best Bet – Race 7 #5 Cosmic Crusader

Cosmic Crusader is in outstanding form after successive Caulfield wins before an unlucky third behind Beiwacht in the Group 1 Memsie Stakes.

Willie Pike couldn't find a position from the draw that day and was forced to go back and cover ground. With Beiwacht setting a fast tempo in front, the task of running him down was always going to be difficult.

Barrier three completely changes the setup here.

Pike should be able to settle Cosmic Crusader in a stalking position behind likely leader Lindermann before getting his opportunity to move past him in the straight.

He also holds a fitness advantage over Buckaroo and Birdman and should be positioned ahead of both in the run.

Cosmic Crusader gets the right setup to land the Group 1 Underwood Stakes.

 

Second Best – Race 5 #3 Blind Raise

Blind Raise is an outstanding prospect facing two other highly talented colts in Wolf Gap and American Eagle.

The key advantage for Blind Raise is where he should be positioned in the run.

Blake Shinn can use his tactical speed to settle inside the first three, putting him ahead of his two major rivals before the pressure goes on.

If Shinn can establish that positional advantage and make his move at the right time, Blind Raise can open a winning break before Wolf Gap and American Eagle get their chance to respond.

That map advantage can prove decisive.
