BEST BET

TAKE THE PRIZE (Race 5 No.7 – $6)

Take The Prize is racing in great heart on the pace and has drawn perfectly on Friday. Expecting him to be hard to run down.

NEXT BEST

GENERAL RELATIVITY (Race 1 No.3 – $2.90)

General Relativity caught the eye with his solid debut finish at Pakenham. He’ll be better for it and 1400m will be perfect second-up.

DIO (Race 6 No.3 – $7.50)

Dio charged home from well back to get the money last time out. He’s going well and should be thereabouts again if the pace is on.

VALUE BET

WET ‘N’ DRY (Race 2 No.6 – $15)

Wet ‘N’ Dry was OK when up to 2200m at Ballarat last time. He’s hard fit and could improve in an open race.

DANZAGRUNT (Race 1 No.2 – $6.50), BREMEN (Race 2 No.1 – $6), PHAROAHZANO (Race 3 No.8 – $3.70), LADY OF STEEL (Race 4 No.10 – $34), ABSEILER (Race 5 No.5 – $26), RADSTAR (Race 7 No.7 – $10), TYCOON JENNY (Race 8 No.6 – $9.50)
