It's Oaks Day today, usually I don't post any tips outside of the Melbourne Cup but I do have a feel about one horse today and it's an outsider, so I thought I should share here. Any brother who won on the Cup from my tips should follow and spend a $100 to see if the luck continues ?

You look at the form guide, the top four horses look to have the race between them, but I like to point out that the best horse usually not necessarily win the Oaks/Derby, the genuine stayer do !

My tip is no. 9 Amazing Peace, currently $21.00/$4.40 - sorry, I couldn't post this earlier as it was $27.00/$5.50 this morning, and if you have online betting agencies, you usually can get an odd boost, I got $41.00 this morning with Ladbrokes.

Amazing Peace won her last race in Newcastle 2350m by half a length so she is proven in the distance where most of her rivals are not tested.

She beat no. 10 Never Listen by 6.1L and Never Listen won her next race of 2200m at Scone by 8.3L - so the form has been franked !

But the main reason I am confident with Amazing Peace is her pedigree: She is by Declaration of War out of a mare by Galileo ! And Declaration of War had just sired the Melbourne Cup winner Vow and Declare on Tuesday as well as the VRC Derby winner Warning on Saturday ! also the Queensland Oaks this year in Winning Ways !! Let's not forget Vow and Declare was beaten narrowly by Mr Quickie in the QLD Derby, so Declaration of War could have easily sired both the Queensland Oaks and Derby winner this year except for a few inches !! So he is probably the most significant sire of stayers in the current crops of race horses, and for that I am willing to put some money on Amazing Peace.

So my betting strategy today for $100:

Box Trifecta: 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10 = $60.00 for half a unit

No. 9 Amazing Peace - $10 win, $30 place.

And good luck to us all.

Cheers



ps. no. 9 has continued to firm: currently on TAB Fixed odds: $18.00/$4.40 - and on the toll: $13.10/$2.80 as of 12.36pm
