BEST BET
GEE AND TEE (Race 2 No.7): Ran on well behind a promising type in an encouraging debut at Cranbourne. She'll be better for it and should be hard to hold out from barrier three.

NEXT BEST
UNSNOOZUAL (Race 3 No.3): The Matt Laurie-trained first-starter has performed well at jumpouts leading up to his debut and has found a race that gave him a top chance to score on debut.
SEA POEM (Race 8 No.4): The Lindsay Park-trained mare closed solidly at Bairnsdale at her first run for six weeks last time. She'll be much fitter for that and blinkers go on for this.
■ ■ ■ ■ ■
VALUE BET
A PINCH OF LUCK (Race 7 No.3): Has won a couple first-up and has saluted over the 1200m course at Bairnsdale. She could show up fresh on Tuesday.
■ ■ ■ ■ ■
LAY OF THE DAY
KAAZI (Race 1 No. 3): Zaaki's little brother trailed the field throughout in town on debut but has come up favourite for the first at Bairnsdale. He'll need more ground than the 1600m of Tuesday's race.
