BEST BET

Race 6 No.6 SCULLY: Long time between drinks but primed to land a result on the home deck fourth-up after solid recent hit-outs.

NEXT BEST

Race 1 No.10 KEENI: Massive run from the back in a 1000m debut at Seymour to run second, within half a length of the winner. Better for the experience and 1200m ideal.

Race 4 No.1 SHE MOGUL: Ready to win third-up. Last start third behind ALBANIAN STAR (3) and expect the pair to fight out the finish again.

VALUE BET

Race 7 No.1 SIOUX SPIRIT: Won two starts back at Pakenham and then just missed up in grade at Sale. Hard to hold out back in Benchmark 58 grade.
