BEST BET
FIORENOT (Race 8 No. 3 – $3.90)
Stepped up in trip when prevailing second-up at Bendigo. He’s drawn wide but is a talented galloper on the rise.

NEXT BEST
GEFFINA (Race 3 No. 13 – $6.50)
Has shown ability in her two runs to date and those outings have her primed to break through on Monday.

CHIMED (Race 9 No. 4 – $6)
Closed well at his past two runs and he races well over 2000m. Expect him to race closer this time and he’s a good chance.

VALUE BET
STATE OF MAINE (Race 6 No. 13 – $13)
Racing in great heart and races best over 1400m. She can overcome a tricky gate here.
