VALUE BET

Race 5 No.1 EIGHT UNDER: Racing in great heart, won maiden and 0-58 Benchmark then third at Ballarat last start up in grade. Favourite ENZEDDER (3) looks well placed but Eight Under should be around the mark.

Race 8 No.1 AUSTRATA: Made ground from the back last start at Pakenham. Fitter second-up and suited at 1600m.
