Big Bets Review: The hits and misses from Saturday's racing
Here To Shock couldn't get past Dashing
Check out the big bets that hit, and the ones that missed, on a massive day of racing around the country.
HITS
Morphettville R7 No.2 The Map $10,000 @ $2 (TopSport)
Impressive win from this stayer in the Queen Elizabeth Cup. Never looked like losing after she loomed in the straight and quite easily shuck off second favourite First Immortal.
Morphettville R8 No.15 Coco Sun $8500 @ $5 (TopSport)
Jamie Kah produced a peach of a ride to get the filly Coco Sun home in the SA Derby. Relished the rise in trip on the back up from last Saturday's Oaks and proved to be the superior stayer.
COCO SUN WINS THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN DERBY! ˜¸Â

Hawkesbury R5 No.4 Parisal $5000 @ $4 (Palmerbet)
All the late money was for her stablemate Spacewalk but Parisal was the one they couldn't catch. Added another win to her super first-up record after Saturday's Hawkesbury Crown win.
Hawkesbury R7 No.1 Schwarz $6000 @ $3.30 (Palmerbet)
Hawkesbury R7 No.1 Schwarz $1000 @ $3.40 (Ladbrokes)
Strong win in the Hawkesbury Guineas from this John O'Shea-trained galloper. Was able to lead on his own when Butch Cassidy missed it and from there, made every post a winner.
🖤 Schwarz leads all the way in the G3 Hawkesbury Guineas, giving @mcacajamez a treble!@hawkesburyrc@JohnOSheaRacingpic.twitter.com/nnQ7Mqrw1n

Hawkesbury R8 No.6 Just Folk $1500 @ $10 (Ladbrokes)
The deluge of rain late in the card played right into the hands of this Victorian raider as he was able to salute in the Hawkesbury Gold Cup.
Caulfield R1 No.1 Snack Bar $5000 @ $5
Early win for this punter with Godolphin galloper Snack Bar in the Caulfield opener. Comfortable win in the end, cruising to a one length victory.
Eagle Farm R3 No.3 Typhoon Tavi $12,000 @ $1.85 (TAB)
Eagle Farm R3 No.3 Typhoon Tavi $3727 @ $2.10 (Sportsbet)
Strong win for this Tony Gollan-trained galloper and the money was spot on as she went on to start much closer to $1.50.
MISSES
Morphettville R8 No.7 Warmonger $5000 @ $4.60 (TopSport)
Was doing his best work late but unable to reel in the filly Coco Sun.
Hawkesbury R8 No.1 Detonator Jack $10,000 Best Tote SP (TopSport)
Nail biting finish in the Hawkesbury Gold Cup but Detonator Jack copped the wrong end of the photo finish as he was unable to reel in Victorian raider Just Folk.
"A thrilling Cup finish."
Just Folk, trained by @GavinBedggood with @nashhot in the saddle, defies a late charge by Detonator Jack and Welwal to win the Group 3 $250,000 @hawkesburyrc Cup and earn his Big Dance 💃 eligibility. @tabcomaupic.twitter.com/nV16w97Lcs

Caulfield R2 No.1 Mawallock $10,000 @ $1.75 (Neds)
Caulfield R2 No.1 Mawallock $4825 @ $1.85 (Sportsbet)
Well backed favourite in the opener at Caulfield but failed to run a place and finished 1.2L off Snack Bar.
Caulfield R6 No.7 Angland $4000 @ $3.20 (TAB)
Caulfield R6 No.7 Angland $3000 @ $3 (Ladbrokes)
Would have traded extremely short in run when he hit the front in the straight but couldn't go on with it and was narrowly beaten.
Caulfield R7 No.3 Here To Shock $5000 @ $6.50 (Palmerbet)
This one has to hurt. Looked like he had Dashing cold but that horse continued to kick and held on for the win in a tight one with Here To Shock.
