BEST BET
ANGLAND (Race 7 No.6 – $3.40)
Showed plenty of ability in his first campaign and trialled well at Cranbourne. He can go to another level this time in.

NEXT BEST
LADY POTATO HEAD (Race 2 No.8 – $5.50)
Has gone well on the synthetic at her first two runs and can break through for a win at her first turf start.

PRAY DAY (Race 8 No.4 – $3.30)
Chased well when beaten less than a length last start. Expecting him to be harder to hold out this time.

VALUE BET
ARMAUER (Race 3 No.2 – $15)
On debut for the Freedman camp after solid efforts at the jumpouts. He’s drawn wide but can show something first-up.
