BEST BET

ALL SO CLEAR (Race 7 No.1): The on-pacer is racing in great heart and should have no issue with 2200m. Should be hard to get past late.

NEXT BEST

WETUMPKA (Race 1 No.5): On debut after two excellent trials this time in. Expecting the Alabama Express colt to go close on his home track.

TAKA SPEED (Race 3 No.5): The Phillip Stokes-trained three-year-old showed ability without willing in all runs last time in. He’s trialled well and could break through fresh.

VALUE BET

NEPRAVDA (Race 9 No.4): Lindsay Park has scratched her from a couple of recent runs but Monday’s assignment looks suitable after two solid jumpouts leading up to this.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■

LAY OF THE DAY

EDZEL (Race 5 No.5): Ran on well when not far away second-up but this is his third straight run over 1600m. He might be looking for more ground now.
