BEST BET

KAZUNGULU (Race 1 No.2): Short odds but wasn’t far from a subsequent city winner at Swan Hill. That’s strong form for Friday’s race.

NEXT BEST

YES I KNOW (Race 4 No.16): The Anthony and Sam Freedman-trained 3YO ran on strongly at Sale and natural improvement should allow him to go close at Geelong.

ANGEL OF THE SEA (Race 6 No.9): The filly improved with a slight rise in trip at Pakenham second-up. Expecting her to be harder to hold out with added fitness.

VALUE BET

VORES (Race 7 No.12): Has performed well in harder races at her last two runs. Dropping back to BM58 level will be perfect at Geelong.
