BEST BET

EN FLIQUE (R4 No.4): En Flique has found one better in her past three starts, and was beaten narrowly last time out at Wangaratta after having to settle near the rear of the field from a wide draw. She can stalk the speed here from barrier one.

NEXT BET

PRINCESS TORO (R6 No.6): Princess Toro can bounce back on the synthetic after she struggled in the soft conditions at Geelong when favourite.

DILLINGER (R7 No.1): Dillinger was out of his class in a BM78 last start and will find this BM64 race much easier if he can run out the 2100m.

LAY OF THE DAY

SONTAY (R8 No.9): Sontay has just one win from 11 starts and is unplaced at the 1200m.

THE JOCKEY

HARRY COFFEY

BREECHES (R2 No.4 – $2.40), MR BLUNT (R3 No.2 – $1.65), HIDE YOUR ASSETS (R5 No.5 – $2.70), TOP ARCTIC (R6 No.7 – $18), TIMEONLEES (R7 No.9 – $4.60)
