The big calls for Saturday's feature horse racing
A pair of Group 2 races – the Expressway Stakes and the Australia Stakes – headline Australian racing on Saturday and the Punters Inside Run team have crunched the form and come up with their betting plays.
Host Matt Campbell is keen on Godolphin galloper Golden Mile to return a winner in the Rosehill feature, while Mick Sharkie is tipping Pizarro in a bit of an upset.
Over at The Valley, Campbell and Sharkie are with the speedy Snapper to record his fifth win at the track, while Punters.com.au's James Lamb likes the in-form Jigsaw from an inside gate.
All three believe the Jolly-trained Calypso Reign is the only danger to the two Australia Stakes favourites.
Lamb and Campbell are both very bullish about Luna Cat's chances in race six at Moonee Valley.
