<p><strong>Surfin' Bird</strong> and <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/jockey-list/tim-clark">Tim Clark</a> are gunning for their fourth consecutive victory in <strong>Race 9</strong> over <strong>1400 meters at Flemington</strong>, trained by <strong>Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott</strong>.</p> <p>The gelding's last start was nothing short of spectacular, absolutely demolishing the field over 1440 meters despite the nightmare scenario of racing three-wide with no cover.&nbsp;</p> <p>When a horse can overcome those conditions and still dominate, you know you're watching something special.</p> <p>At <strong>$2.50</strong>, punters are getting solid value on a runner that's clearly found their groove.&nbsp;</p> <p>The step back to 1400 meters should suit perfectly, and with this training partnership's proven track record, everything points to another commanding performance.</p> <p>The form line speaks for itself - three wins on the trot with that last effort being the pick of the bunch.&nbsp;</p> <p>When horses hit this type of purple patch, the smart money follows them all the way through.</p> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/horse-racing/australia-nz/flemington/race-9-9793371">Markets available here</a></p> <p>Odds subject to change.</p>
