Seymour Tips January 16


Avenel Equine Hospital BM64 Handicap Tips (Race 6)


Seymour Best Bet - Race 6 No. 7 Heaving

The three-year-old demonstrated plenty of ability in 2024 including when debuting with a  second over this course and distance on a heavy 8 surface in July.

The son of Hellbent shaped as if he would improve for the experience that day and while unable to win next time he did deliver a respectable second-place finish over a similar distance at Moe.

The pick broke through for his first win when jumping at odds-on for a 1200m maiden at Bairnsdale on his final start of that prep.

Racing over 1200m the gelding came home over a length clear of his nearest pursuer when racing on a sound surface for the first time.

The selection arrives here on the back of a couple of jumpout efforts at Cranbourne including when third of nine over 1000m earlier this month.

The Anthony & Sam Freedman team boast a near 39% strike-rate (14/36) at this venue while the booking of Blake Shinn is a further positive.

Seymour Roughie - Race 7 No. 8 What A Cross

The four-year-old performed well when racing on a good 4 track over 1600m in a Bairnsdale maiden on debut in April last year.

The gelding was beaten just a length when racing on a good 4 surface that day and duly broke through for his maiden win at Sale next time.

The pick raced over 1728m on a good 4 track at Sale coming home nearly two lengths clear of his rivals having raced behind the speed.

The combination of a step up to 2000m and a wet track appeared not to suit when disappointing at Benchmark 64 handicap when encountering a soft 5 surface at Ballarat next time.

Spelled following that Ballarat effort the selection returned to action with a solid fourth-place finish in a similar race to this over 1600m at Cranbourne earlier this month.

Will Gordon, on board on that occasion is again set to ride here and jumping from barrier six the pair may prove up to springing a surprise.

Seymour Next Best Bet - Race 8 No. 12 Zeshadow

Formerly trained in New Zealand by Andrew Forsman the fillies first three starts all came on wet tracks with a third at Matamata over 2000m in June last year the best of them.

Spelled following that effort the daughter of Zed returned to action with an impressive victory dropped to 1400m for an Otaki maiden in October.

The four-year-old was racing on a sound surface for the first time that day and she had a number of subsequent winners in behind, including the second who has won twice in the interim. 

The selection joined the Ben, JD & Will Hayes following that effort and following a fifth in a jumpout at Flemington in December she showed improvement to take a similar event there recently.

The pick boasts an inside barrier here and with the forecast good 4 going and the booking of Blake Shinn both positives she looks capable of making he first start for the Hayes team a winning one.
