BEST BET

ELECTRIC TOMMY (Race 8 No. 3): Resumed with a smart on-pace win at Moe last month. He’ll be fitter for that and should be hard to run down.

NEXT BEST

SETHEUS (Race 2 No.7): Pushed forward and was only beaten off late at Geelong first-up. Expecting him to be much harder to get past this time.

LEAVING LAS VEGAS (Race 3 No.3): 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

PIGLET (Race 7 No.5): Had a good run before saluting at Casterton second-up. She steps up a touch in class but looks to have returned in good order this time in.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■

LAY OF THE DAY

VANISHING ACT (Race 3 No.13): Has trialled well but her first-up run will be in stronger company than her debut outing in Queensland. She may find one or two better on Friday.
