BEST BET

Race 3 No.1 AQUEDUCT: The locally-trained gelding showed ability last time in but his recent jumpouts indicate he can make a winning return on Friday.

NEXT BEST

Race 2 No.4 DYNASTY REWARD: Chased home the impressive Mercurial Lady on this track last time. He gets his chance to break through third-up.

Race 6 No.2 FLYING STRAZ: She went to the spelling paddock after a synthetic win and could make it two in a row from the perfect draw on Friday.

VALUE BET

Race 4 No.14 TOROTENA: Looked in need of more ground when not disgraced on debut at Swan Hill. He can improve sharply with the benefit of race experience.
