ROSEHILL GARDENS
MATT JONES (Daily Telegraph). Form: 18423
LUCICELLO (Race 6, No. 6 — $2.40)
She could easily be shooting for three-straight wins. This grey filly has plenty of class and booming finish which we should see yet again and she can run over the top of her rivals inside the final 100m.
Value bet: DEW DROP (Race 3, No. 3 — $12)
DARREN PRENDERGAST (NewsRacing). Form: 15548
LUCICELLO (Race 6, No. 6 — $2.40)
Surged along the fence for closing fourth at Kembla last start. Will be suited by step up in trip going by her third in the Group 3 Up And Coming Stakes over 1300m in August.
Value bet: NORDIC (Race 2, No. 2 — $10)
SHAYNE O’CASS (Sportsman). Form: 15872
FUN FACT (Race 4, No. 1 — $4.40)
Faced a sizeable task first-up in the Golden Eagle and ran to his big odds. He was much more a player when he finished an eye-catching fourth the next time out. Won a Group 3 over 2200m so he has class and can stay 2000m easily.
Value bet: WORD FOR WORD (Race 6, No. 4 — $4.40)

PAKENHAM
MICHAEL MANLEY (Herald Sun). Form: 31623
THAT GIRL (Race 1, No. 10 — $2.70)
Flew home to win her debut at Morphettville in easy fashion in June outsprinting the smart Garner. Resumes here but shapes as a filly with a big future.
Value bet: CHAPADA (Race 7, No. 4 — $6.50)
SIMON MOY (NewsRacing). Form: 4252x
SECRET BLAZE (Race 7, No. 8 — $2.50)
Stable flying. Impressive at The Valley last start and shouldn’t have any dramas with extra distance.
Value bet: LYNCH MOB (Race 4, No. 13 — $5)
NICK QUINN (TAB). Form: 41223
ODEON (Race 5, No. 1 — $2.90)
Finally gets into a race at a lower grade and in well at the weights after the claim and looks well placed to win his first race since on Melbourne Cup Day in 2017. Had a nice run at Sandwon last start and should be ready to strike.
Value bet: NEVER AGAIN (Race 8, No. 6 — $7)

DOOMBEN
NATHAN EXELBY (Courier-Mail). Form: 32031
SNITCH (Race 6, No. 1 — $2.60)
Comes back a long way in grade after being forced to do it tough behind Tambo’s Mate last time. Drawn to be much closer in the run and he’s well in after the claim.
Value bet: MAGIC FOX (Race 5, No. 5 — $26)
LATEST BETTING: TAB FIXED ODDS
ASCOT
CHRIS VERNUCCIO (NewsRacing). Form: 15121
ELECTRIC LIGHT (Race 6, No. 2)
The way she finished to win last start indicates she’ll run out 1400m despite her record at the trip. Willie Pike stays on.
Value bet: REGAL POWER (Race 8, No. 8 — $10)
