BEST BET
DOLLAR SHOT (Race 5 No. 8)
Dollar Shot did her best work late when not far away in town first-up. She'll be hard to hold out back at this level.
â â â â â
NEXT BEST
TEE EIGHT (Race 1 No. 4)
The Allan and Jason Williams-trained Tee Eight closed well over 1400m on debut and will be better for it. Rates a top chance to break through second-up.
PROSHOW (Race 9 No. 4 – $4.40)
The four-year-old has performed well on the synthetic at both runs this time in. He's back to turf but will be fitter again for this.

VALUE BET
EVERETT (Race 6 No. 8 – $13)
Everett hasn't raced since December 2023 but her recent trials have been encouraging and she resumes in a winnable assignment at Bairnsdale.
â â â â â
**** LAY OF THE DAY ****
TOP SECRET (Race 1 No. 6 – $3.90)
Top Secret led and weakened to be beaten more than seven lengths first-up. He'll be fitter but he'll have to work early from a tricky gate and could be under pressure late.
