BEST BET
SAMURAI STAR (Race 5 No. 1 – $3.50)
Went down narrowly when up in trip at Geelong. He drops in class at Hamilton and should go close again.

NEXT BEST
TREVENSON (Race 6 No. 3- $6)
Improved when not far away at Yarra Valley second-up. He’ll be fitter for that and will be thereabouts.

TREMAMORE (Race 7 No. 6 – $4.80)
Steps up in class at Hamilton but she impressed with her maiden win. She can measure up again.

VALUE BET
DIBALTA (Race 4 No. 1 – $11)
Closed solidly when up to 2000m at Stawell, indicating another rise in trip will suit at Hamilton. Blinkers back on will help.

THE JOCKEY
DEAN YENDALL
The popular jockey heads to Hamilton for seven rides on Tuesday. ACIRA (Race 1 No. 10 – $6), VICTORY BLUES (Race 2 No. 14 – $18), BO COUGAR (Race 3 No. 8 – $10), VAN GERWEN (Race 4 No. 5 – $3.50), FINAL COUNTDOWN (Race 6 No. 7 – $3.90), ROLL ME AWAY (Race 7 No. 12 – $51), DIVINE TURF (Race 8 No. 15 – $11)
