Bikkie Tin Blues, nicely weighted in the Metropolitan Handicap will really have a go today. Coming off 7 straight wins and at his best, this 8 year old gelding by Secret Savings has proven that you’re never too old to perform. Great time (2:21.1) previous run to 2300m, and down in weight, but starting from awkward barrier 14, will have time to grind ‘em down.
Worth a bet, currently at NSW Fixed odds:
$9.00W $3.00P
Was backed in, late in the betting. He ran on well for most of the race, but as is customary in many of these races with big fields, the favourites have a harder run having to weave through the field. Ran ok to 2200m or so. Both favourites failed.
Tawqeet won at $18.70.
