SUBSCRIBE NOW! BEST BET ABOVE ME (Race 1 No.10): The mare pushed forward and tried hard on debut. She'll be much better for that outing and should be harder to hold out this time. NEXT BEST HOT CHIPS (Race 9 No.6 - $3.20): Hot Chips is racing in great heart and only went down narrowly in a similar race at Bairnsdale. She'll go close again at Wodonga. RUPERTS RED ROCKET (Race 10 No.1): Ruperts Red Rocket is hard-fit and didn't have much luck at BM64 level at Bendigo. He drops to BM58 grade at Wodonga and has a top chance to break through. VALUE BET WOLLEMIA ANGEL (Race 6 No.14 - $10) The Danny O'Brien-trained four-year-old narrowly broke her maiden at Bairnsdale last time. She's up in class but could measure up. LAY OF THE DAY ROYAL TURF (Race 10 No.6) Royal Turf pushed forward and got home on debut at Wangaratta last month but this will be a tougher assignment with a couple of runners ahead of him. THE JOCKEY CELINE GAUDRAY Jockey Celine Gaudray heads to Wodonga for six rides on Tuesday. WITH STRENGTH (Race 1 No.7 - $5.50), COUNTRY BLUES (Race 2 No.15 - $14), WALLENBERG (Race 4 No.7 - $2.40), INSPIRED CHOICE (Race 6 No.15 - $3.80), STAHNADO (Race 8 No.10 - $9), ROYAL TURF (Race 10 No.6 - $2.30).

Celine Gaudray grabs opportunity for success in Straight Six at Flemington
Jockey Celine Gaudray wants to turn a surprise call to ride Running By into stakes success on Saturday at Flemington in the Listed Straight Six (1200m). Gaudray will partner Running By, an $8.50 chance trained by Ciaron Maher, in the feature. 'I haven't had a lot of rides for Maher recently, it's a busy time of year, everybody wants to ride, but I'm really grateful to have a ride like that,' Gaudray said. Running By won fresh at 1400m last campaign, finished over The Open at Caulfield and then saluted again third-up in a 1600m event at Flemington. The Impending mare capped the preparation with a second to Modown at Pakenham and placed fourth in the Listed Kensington Stakes (1400m) at Flemington. Gaudray has two other rides on Saturday including last-start winner The Opportunist. Her best chance on the card arguably, Torranzino, was scratched on Thursday from the Melbourne Cup qualifying Listed Andrew Ramsden Stakes (2800m) with a cold. 'I was so flat when he scratched, I really thought he could've won that race,' Gaudray said. Gaudray piloted The Opportunist, trained by Lindsay Park, to a three-length Warrnambool win last start. Gaudray has ridden 17 winners this season for Ben, JD and Will Hayes – striking at 20 per cent – including Angry Skies last Saturday at Caulfield. 'I actually didn't really ride for them a lot throughout my apprenticeship, more so towards the end,' Gaudray said. 'When I came out of my time I was a little bit worried because I wasn't sure who would back me and it is good to have a good stable to back you up. 'I can't thank them enough, honestly, they've carried me through my senior year so far.'
