BEST BET

BONS TO RICHES (Race 5 No. 3 – $5)

Bons To Riches had a good run to score at Pakenham second-up. He’ll only be improved and has drawn perfectly.

NEXT BEST

KAMCHATKA (Race 3 No. 4 – $3.40)

Kamchatka has had a few chances but won’t get a better shot at a win after a good effort on this track last start.

GREAT TASTE (Race 6 No. 4 – $3.60)

Great Taste resumed with an excellent second at Pakenham and is a 1600m winner. She can go one better.

VALUE BET

ALCHIAN (Race 8 No. 7 – $9.50)

Alchian worked home well at Geelong second-up and is ready for another rise in trip. Expecting him to go close in the last.
