The Showdown 2022 Tips
The Showdown 2022 Best Bet - Bello Beau
This Tasmanaian gelding should have won at Moonee Valley last start in stakes grade, hopelessly held up behind horses when drawing an inside gate.
Bello Beau does have a nice turn-of-foot, but just needed a wider draw there, which is what he gets today.
From gate eight, he can settle around midfield and stalk something into the race, which will allow him to finish off as he had been doing.

The Showdown 2022 Next Best Bet - Hollerlujah
It was a big win on debut from this daughter of Holler who started $26 for the Henry Dwyer stable and produced a brilliant performance.
She reminds me a little of 2020 Showdown winner Khoekhoe with that big dash and a horse who is going to relish the 1200m of a genuinely run race.
Hollerlujah gets back anyway so no need to knock the wide gate, but the one issue is that she does have a negative racing pattern, so will a pinch of luck.

The Showdown 2022 Value Bet - Soju Session
This daughter of Nostradamus did enough to win on debut over 1000m before holding her ground well in the Vobis Gold Rush last time behind Hollerlujah.
She will be on the pace somewhere and from gate nine, expect Craig Newitt to cross the face of the field before trying to dictate or let a couple go around for cover.
If for some reason they do put the breaks on up front, then Soju Session is one who is going to hold her ground well to the line.
