BEST BET
SUMO SANDY (Race 4 No.2): Led and only grabbed late here second-up and will be fitter again. Expecting him to be harder to run down this time.
NEXT BEST
THE BETTER HUSBAND (Race 3 No.12 – $5.50)
Outgunned but not disgraced on debut at Pakenham. Better for the experience and a bit more ground suits.
HALF YOURS (Race 8 No.6 – $4.20)
Finished strongly to win at Seymour second-up last start. Blinkers go on for this and he'll be fitter again.
VALUE BET
TOPHET (Race 5 No.9 – $7.50)
Resumes after two good trials. He raced well last time in and can make a winning start to his preparation at Cranbourne.
THE JOCKEY
Jockey Celine Gaudray heads to Cranbourne for five rides on Friday. TOUCHDOWN (Race 2 No.8 – $3.20), JAY PEE'S ANGEL (Race 3 No.8 – $71), UNDER MY THUMB (Race 5 No.10 – $7), ANGEL OF THE SEA (Race 7 No.6 – $7.50), ARIZONA ACTIVIST (Race 8 No.4 – $5.50).
