BEST BET
IL CUBO (Race 6 No.2 – $3.40): Given a let-up after he worked home fairly behind the smart No Fuss at Sandown. Back to Cranbourne now where he has a win and a second from just two starts and maps for a perfect trail behind the pace.

NEXT BEST
ICED CHOCOLATE (Race 2 No.9 – $2.40): Former expensive yearling now with her third trainer after stints in NSW and Queensland. Two jumpouts for Dan Meagher have been excellent and this isn’t an overly strong maiden.

FAGIN (Race 7 No.1 – $6): Will appreciate a big drop in grade after he toughed it out off a wide run in a Benchmark 78 at Ballarat last time out.

VALUE BET
DEMIQUAVER (Race 5 No.9 – $7.50): Not far away in all six starts to date and there was plenty of merit in her fighting second to Belcony at Pakenham last time out. Third-up now and should be peaking.
