We take a look at horse racing meets around the country for Monday August 22nd with our horse racing tips, best bets and best value for meetings at Cessnock, Echuca and Lismore!
Cessnock
Race 1 - Plushenko
Race 2 - Trust Me
Race 3 - Arecibo
Race 4 - Capable Prince
Race 5 - Gingersnap
Race 6 - First Alliance
Race 7 - Kamehameha
Best Bet: Race 2 Trust Me
Very short odds but looks hard to beat on the back of some solid performances at Hawkesbury. Will find this easier and can win on his debut for a new stable.
Best Value: Race 2 Lily's Little Girl
Trialled very well leading into her debut but she was very poor, finishing 11th of 14. The blinkers go on for the first time here, however, and if she produces something close to her trial win she can give this a good shake at $18.
Echuca
Race 1 - Classic Diva
Race 2 - Lucky Beau
Race 3 - Waterloo Sunset
Race 4 - Ontoff Of The World
Race 5 - Surf Coast
Race 6 - Hezagoa
Race 7 - House Of Stars
Race 8 - Vain Kingdom
Race 9 - Squeaky Squirrel
Race 10 - Clouds
Best Bet: Race 5 Surf Coast
Solid last start when first up from a spell so should strip fitter here and he should handle the wet track based on what we have seen from him. Drawn well and the Weir/Yendall combo is lethal on weekdays.
Lismore
Lismore
Race 1 - Panned Out
Race 2 - Jadedfox
Race 3 - Graduate
Race 4 - Chilli Zaim
Race 5 - Star Fest
Race 6 - Abu Ben Adam
Race 7 - Corder
Best Bet: Race 1 Panned Out
Won a trial and followed that up with a good showing to finish 2nd on debut. Not a very strong field here so if he reproduces that effort he should go close. Wary of the first starter Ned's Round.
Best Value: Race 5 Star Fest
Very average race and this one's form looks very average too but he has had a few excuses lately and if he can find his form from last prep he can win this. Likes the distance, likes a bit of juice in the ground and has won here before.
