Racenet and Herald Sun form analyst Chris Vernuccio takes a look at Tuesday’s meeting at Hamilton.

BEST BET

CHIMED (R6 No.1 – $2.30)

Chimed won back-to-back BM58 races, including an all-the-way 2 ½-length win at Mortlake, before he fell short at The Valley in Benchmark 64 grade after settling second last from a wide barrier. This is an easier BM64 race,

NEXT BEST

DIMORA QUEEN (R2 No.8 – $2.60)

Dimora Queen resumed with a closed fifth at Warrnambool. The four-year-old mare finds a very winnable maiden race to finally break through at start No.7.

VALUE BET

BRUZANI (R4 No.9 – $9)

Bruzani performed much better second-up when ridden closer to the speed, and the stable will likely adopt similar tactics stepping up to the mile.

THE JOCKEY

FRED KERSLEY

DIMORA QUEEN (R2 No.8 – $2.60), PRINCESS TORO (R3 No.14 – $4.60), SPIKE ALMIGHTY (R4 No.7 – $26), ACTIVE DUTY (R7 No. 3 – $3), SWANNY DEE (R8 No.3 – $10)
