The Meadows betting preview & best bets | Saturday, 8/4/23
The Meadows is set to host 12 races on Saturday night with the 1st race kicking off at 6:37PM local time. Despite no features across the night, we have some very competitive races over all distance ranges.
The Meadows Best Bet: Treasure Tears (Race 1)
Treasure Tears has recently stepped up to the middle distance and looks set to make it third time lucky. Over the last fortnight, the daughter of Goodesy has run consecutive seconds to Starburst Candy. Last week there was considerable difference in her 2nd run at the trip running 2L quicker overall with a 2L slower first sectional. This means she improved 4L in seven days from the 1st post back to the finish post. She's drawn terrifically to find the bunny with two slow beginners either side of her. Given she does just that, she'll prove very hard to run down.
Best Bet
Race 1 –
Form: 25122 | Career: 13: 2-4-2 | Trainer: Robert Britton
Next Best: Incineration (Race 5)
Incineration is looking forward to repaying the punters after he has gone down as the favourite in his past two efforts. He just hasn't aced the start in his past two which has caused his downfall as his best asset is finding the bunny and going on with it. This race lacks speed and from the wide draw he should be able to easily cross rivals drawn inside him. Given he finds the bunny, he will be hard to run down.

Best Value At The Meadows: Fast Milkman (Race 8)
The Milkman isn't very fast however, he could be the blowout in the staying event on the program. Going off a $4.50 elect last week from box 2, he was severely checked when making his move coming for home the first time. After balancing up again, he was making ground when being checked for the second time coming home. The margin of almost 6L is very unfair as he would've finished considerably closer to Dirt Farmer without these hindrances. He faces this runner once again who will be his biggest challenger however, given Dirt Farmer is a short priced favourite this must be the right formline. If it is, Fast Milkman appears too long in the market and can figure in the finish.
