29/8/20 Best horse racing tips today

Gosford hosts an eight race card on Friday, with plenty of value around to help us top up the account up for the weekend.

The track is currently rated a Good 4 and sunshine is forecast for the NSW central coast region.

The rail is in the true position, which should give every runner a chance.

From the stewards

There are several horses who have featured heavily in the pre-steward's report for this meeting. 

The one I want to mention is Mission River, running around in race 3.

The Redoute's Choice colt was slow to begin last start at Newcastle and had to settle back further than intended.

On entering the straight, rider Robbie Dolan attempted to place his mount under pressure but he failed to respond.

Following the race, Dolan commented that the ground on the inside of the track was inferior which attributed to the poor run.

Punters should expect a much better showing from the colt here, with a strong senior jockey Joshua Parr taking the reigns.

Josh steered punters into his best bet at Scone on Tuesday, which saluted in style!

Below is his best bet for Gosford as well as his quaddie numbers.

This is the easiest race the gelding has contested in a long time, so expect him to go well. 

In his last run, he was stuck wide from the 1000m mark and had to be steadied off heels at the 700m.

He fought well to the line on a Heavy 9 at Warwick Farm and even found an extra burst when headed at the 200m.

He is fighting fit for this race and finally gets a good track again.

The gelding hasn't missed a place at the distance in four attempts and gets the in-form Jason Collett to ride.

From the draw, expect Collett to slot into a nice position off the fence with plenty of pace to his inside. In this grade on a good track, he will be hard to beat.
