BEST BET
BARNAGE (Race 5 No. 2 – $2.90): Consistent type that ran on soundly in town first-up. He drops in class and will be much fitter for this.

NEXT BEST
MRS ARCHIBALD (Race 3 No. 10 – $9): Has gone close at her last two runs and is hard fit for Thursday’s race. She can break through.

TORONADO PRINCESS (Race 4 No. 12 – $13): The Mornington-trained mare is a late starter, making her debut as a five-year-old, but her jumpouts indicate a forward showing is likely.

VALUE BET
SCRIPTA (Race 8 No. 9 – $12): Wasn’t far away at Moe at her third run this time in. She’s racing well and should have every chance from the draw.

THE JOCKEY
