BEST BET
RECOMMENDATION (R7 No.5 – $6)
Only beaten two lengths in the Group 1 Oakleigh Plate last start. Start prior finished third behind subsequent Group 1 winner Veight. Strong formlines for this.
NEXT BEST
FIRE OF ETNA (R3 No.3 – $2.50)
Won with authority last start at Sandown. Drawn out in a small field but looks hard to beat.
MAKRANA (R6 No.11 – $5)
Won and placed the past two starts at Yarra Valley, drawn low and has jockey Blake Shinn aboard.
VALUE BET
OUR CRACKLIN ROSIE (R1 No.3 – $8)
Raced consistently last campaign, three wins and three placings from eight starts. Back from a short freshen up, has residual fitness and should be right in the finish.
ROMA’S WISH (R5 No.6 – $8.50)
More than 12 months since her last win but has placed in two of the past three starts. Runner-up at Geelong last start. Should roll forward and be hard to run down.
THE JOCKEY
CRAIG WILLIAMS
CRIMSON LIGHT (R6 No.10 – $4.80), BANK MAUR (R7 No.10 – $7) and HOLY RACKET (R8 No.3 – $3.30).
