The weather looks fine, and the track should be in the good 4 range.

Race 1 #7 BELPINE MISS

No confidence whatsoever in this race. But I thought Belpine Miss had one of the better chances of the field.

Race 2 #5 HEWIE

Another really difficult race to dissect going with some value in Hewie. Froggy aboard, smart trainer. tick.

Race 3 #11 MONTE BIANCO

Good record at the course and distance and should be right to go now 2nd up after a forgiving first-up run.

Race 4 #5 ZEVA ROYALE

Looks set to track the speed and produce his best work late. Has been looking for further and was extremely unlucky last start getting boxed in.

Race 5 #2 MUSCLE UP

Should just go on with it here. Not a race we’re overly keen to bet into though.

Race 6 #13 JUST A TRIBUTE

Taking a chance here on Just A Tribute. Just think he looks slightly better placed than the other favourite.

Race 7 – Pass. The fave should be winning this but the odds aren’t exactly generous.

Race 8 #3 AURORA’S SYMPHONY & #6 TRAVELLING GIGGALO

I think the winner will come from one of these 2.

Race 9 #6 DEFIANT DIVA

Looks well placed here. Can put a line through her first up run which was a complete forgive. 2nd up here and B Shinn takes the ride. The barrier is slightly tricky but if she can be in striking distance on the turn with clear air she will be motoring home. Great each way bet.

Race 10 #15 WOLF REIN

Cheeky each way in the get out. Down in grade and should be coming home fast of what looks to be a race full of pace.

Best Bet:
