HAWKESBURY

JETT HATTON (Racenet)

MR MOZART (Hawkesbury Race 7 No 1 – $3)

Hard to be against Mr Mozart after his past two wins, the latest when beating up on the older horses in the Doncaster Prelude. There’s been good form out of the race with Our Playboy and Kukeracha winning since and he returns to face his own age here.

Value bet: IT’S ME (Eagle Farm Race 8, No.8 – $21)

ADAM SHERRY (Sportsman)

DEEPSTRIKE (Race 4, No.5 – $5)

Promising stayer coming off two impressive wins in Melbourne. Dropping back from 2000m to 1800m for his Sydney debut but that shouldn’t be an issue. Hugh Bowman rides.

Value bet: SAMOOT (Race 10, No.7 – $6.50)

SANDOWN

BRAD WATERS (Racenet)

REGARDSMAREE (Race 8, No.5 – $4.20)

Returned to his best form with a determined win at Caulfield last Saturday. His 1400m record is strong and the forecast rain won’t worry him.

Value bet: WELSH LEGEND (Race 9, No.12 – $11)

STEPHEN BRASSEL (National Racing Editor)

FLASH FEELING (Race 7, No.9 – $5)

Looked a good thing beaten last start when second at Caulfield and set to atone from inside barrier with a claim.

Value bet: BOOLCUNDA KING (Morphettville Race 6, No.13 – $35)

GLENN McFARLANE (Herald Sun)

SIR DAVY (Race 9, No.6 – $5.50)

Progressive horse chasing a hat-trick wins and only needs to overcome an awkward gate to have a huge chance here.

Value bet: STARRY LEGEND (Race 6, No.10 – $6)

SIMON MOY (NewsRacing)

WITCHACHAR STAR (Race 2, No.9 – $4.60)

Good effort behind Point Nepean last start and solid winner here before that.

Value bet: SKYWOLF (Race 3, No.12 – $6)

EAGLE FARM

TRENTON AKERS (Courier Mail)

GO WANDJI (R9, No.5 – $2.30)

Was a deadset certainty beaten last start after getting shuffled back and held up at the top of the straight. Has drawn wide again but jockey Larry Cassidy won’t want a repeat of last time out. Expect him to be winning.

Value bet: HAMLET VON SNITZEL (R3, No.10 – $11)

Go Wandji can make amends if he stays out of trouble. Picture: Grant Peters-Trackside Photography

NICK QUINN (TAB)

ROTHFIRE (Race 8, No.3 – $2.40)

He absolutely loves Eagle Farm having won all five of his starts at the venue and the way he won a trial recently indicates he will resume with a win.

Value bet: KIRWAN’S LANE (Hawkesbury Race 9, No.8 – $6)

MORPHETTVILLE

CHRIS VERNUCCIO (Racing News Editor)

MY WHISPER (Race 7, No.6 – $4.60)

Unbeaten this prep and racing better with each start. She’s got an outstanding turn of foot and will get a perfect run from barrier three with Jamie Kah onboard.

Value bet: LA VINA (Sandown Race 4, No.6 – $5)

TAB odds correct at time of publishing.
