BEST BET

SHINJUKU (Race 5 No. 11 – $3.40)

Shinjuku will be well suited stepping up in trip after two sound efforts to start his career. He’s capable of breaking through at Moe.

NEXT BEST

EVERETT (Race 2 No. 5 – $7.50)

Everett wasn’t disgraced first-up but will improve sharply with race experience and more ground at Moe.

FEUDAL EMPIRE (Race 7 No. 4 – $5.50)

Feudal Empire has produced two excellent efforts this time in. He drops in trip for this but should be hard to run down again.

VALUE BET

COLLISON (Race 1 No. 1 – $19)

Collison gets back to the turf tracks after a good effort on the synthetic last time. He’s a good each-way chance at odds in the opening race.
