Horse racing tips: The Valley best bets, preview for Friday February 10

News Corp form analyst Brad Waters looks at Friday night‘s meeting at The Valley.

BEST BET

HARBIN (Race 7 No.8 – $4.60)

Harbin raced on the speed when narrowly beaten at The Valley last time but will have the perfect run for his bid to go one better on Friday night.

NEXT BEST

JENNILALA (Race 6 No.6 – $3.90)

Jennilala resumes at the scene of her debut win in the spring. She drops back from stakes class for her first-up run and will be hard to beat.

BELLA SORELLINA (Race 8 No.2 – $3.70)

Bella Sorellina boxed well when beaten less than a length at The Valley last start. She’s on trial at 1200m but is racing well and can handle the trip.

VALUE BET

SCHILLER EFFECT (Race 4 No.7 – $10)

Schiller Effect has easily won her last two starts to earn a crack at a city race. She’s a developing mare and should measure up at The Valley.

THE JOCKEY

BLAKE SHINN

Blake Shinn has five rides and can make a winning return from suspension at The Valley. STATESWOMAN (Race 1 No.11 – $2.60), HARD SQUEEZE (Race 3 No.5 – $5), CASH IS QUEEN (Race 5 No.13 – $8), GOLD REVOLVER (Race 6 No.1 – $8), SHANGHAI VENTURE (Race 8 No.10 – $13).
