BEST BET
KIRA (Race 5 No.4): Broke through for a deserved win on the Hillside track third-up and will be fitter again. Should be even harder to hold out this time.
NEXT BEST
MISS TRUSTFUL (Race 2 No.8): The Benalla-trained galloper chased honestly when second on this track second-up. Blinkers go on for this and should again have his chance in the straight.
SUN SETTING (Race 7 No.14): Had no luck when badly held up at Caulfield last time. She's hard fit for this and should go close with more like this time.
VALUE BET
LEGATUS (Race 3 No.2): Well ridden to salute over this course last time and will be fitter again for four runs this time in. Expecting him to go well again.
LAY OF THE DAY
PRINCESS QUE (Race 7 No.13): There were a couple of unlucky runners behind Princess Que in her first-up win on this track. There will be more pressure this time, which could leave her vulnerable late.
