BEST BET

OLIVE BAGUETTE (Race 7 No. 6)

Olive Baguette won easily at Mornington before another good effort at Cranbourne. Blinkers go back on and he’ll be harder to beat.

NEXT BEST

THE BOSS MAN (Race 1 No. 5)

The Lindsey Smith-trained three-year-old was solid from racing on the speed at Ballarat on debut and should be harder to get past this time.

OUR WISHBONE (Race 8 No. 6)

Our Wishbone has been most impressive in two wins this time in. There’s no reason he can’t handle another rise in class on Monday.

VALUE BET

FIRE TRIBE (Race 6 No. 3)

The four-year-old was scratched from a race at Seymour for this after three good runs this time in. He’ll go well again at Pakenham.
