BEST BET

TEN DEEP (Race 4 No.4): Lightly-raced imported mare from the Moody/Coleman yard who was held up at a vital moment behind Proved first-up at Sandown. She’ll take fitness improvement from that run and can get the chocolates here.

NEXT BEST

CHASE YOUR DREAMS (Race 3 No.7): In-form jockey Ethan Brown jumps aboard this promising staying filly who maps for a perfect trail from barrier three.

BLUE STRATUM (Race 2 No.3): City winner first-up who looks well-placed in a Benchmark 64 today. Won a trial in good style at Caulfield Heath last week gets a handy claim from Stephanie Hateley.

VALUE BET

EXCEL AND FLY (Race 1 No.1): Nice return at Donald when made up good ground from the tail and should settle much closer today from the inside draw. Booking of Jye McNeil seems a good pointer to a bold second-up performance.

JOCKEY TO FOLLOW – JOHN ALLEN

The veteran hoop has host of each-way chances at Echuca on Good Friday. DELIVERING (Race 1 No.7 – $10), HIGHLAND SON (Race 2 No.2 – $17), PALACE GREEN (Race 3 No.2 – $11), SACRAMENTAL (Race 4 No.2 – $11), SANDWINA (Race 5 No.8 – $7), BASILINNA (Race 6 No.2 – $7), BOLTSAVER (Race 8 No.2 – $7.50).
