BEST BET

SUPERSET R6 No. 1 $3.40

Back to Benchmark 58 grade, where he won four starts back, and then runner-up to The Open, who has won twice at Sandown since. Superset has placed in stronger company the past three starts.

NEXT BEST

ROLLING MOSS R5 No. 1 $7

Rising 11-year-old has maintained zest for racing and from low draw could be hard to run down.

VALUE BET

HEY BRO’UNGA R4 No. 4 $15

Well-rated, brother of multiple Group 1-winner Mo’unga, was sound on debut at Bendigo in what could be a decent form race.

 

MOONSHINE ANNIE R8 No. 15 $51

Settled behind the leader from the rails draw first-up after a long break and entitled to get tired late. Has performed second-up previously and gets in light. Sneaky place chance.

THE JOCKEY

BLAKE SHINN

MARKDEL (R1 No. 16 $4.20), BUZZ CITY (R2 No. 17 $3.60), FLANAGAN (R3 No. 3 $5) and BRAVE MISS (R9 No. 6 $4).
