BEST BET

PUGLIA (Race 3 No.14) Four-start maiden but placed on each occasion. Not beaten far last start at Sandown and with even luck should open her account.

NEXT BEST

FROM A DISTANCE (Race 1 No.5): Trialled up nicely ahead of debut and worth noting also nominated in midweek race at Sandown.

GIDDY UP WARRIOR (Race 4 No.5): Should appreciate stepping up to 1600m and drawn to get a nice run. Only win in seven starts to date came third-up last campaign.

VALUE BET

MONTJEUIFY (Race 5 No.4): Not beaten far in stronger races and latest form franked with Hughes winning at Caulfield last Saturday.

THE JOCKEY – HARRY COFFEY
GRAND INTENTION (Race 1 No.12), PUGLIA (Race 3 No.14), GIDDY UP WARRIOR (Race 4 No.5), BLACK STORM (Race 5 No.3), MISTAVAIN (Race 6 No.8) and SIMPLY SPARKLEZ (Race 7 No.9).
