BEST BET

SOUTHBY (Race 4 No.4): Got the money at Moe but was outgunned at Flemington. Dropping sharply in class will be perfect for him on Tuesday.

NEXT BEST

GIRLCANCHAT(Race 5 No.4): The locally-trained filly made a good start to her career when running on well over 1000m last time. She’ll be harder to beat over more ground.

COOL CHARLIE (Race 7 No.4): Boxed on well when racing on the speed at Wangaratta but has a good record on the Ballarat Synthetic track and could go one better.

VALUE BET

GRUNDY THREE VOTES (Race 8 No.8): The five-year-old broke his maiden in decisive fashion last time out. He’s up in class but is worth including again on his favourite track.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■

LAY OF THE DAY

SUPERVISE (Race 7 No.1): Racing well but he’s got plenty of weight despite the claim and will be forced to work too hard from a wide draw.
