BEST BET

DOLLAR SHOT (Race 5 No. 8)

Dollar Shot did her best work late when not far away in town first-up. She’ll be hard to hold out back at this level.

NEXT BEST

TEE EIGHT (Race 1 No. 4)

The Allan and Jason Williams-trained Tee Eight closed well over 1400m on debut and will be better for it. Rates a top chance to break through second-up.

PROSHOW (Race 9 No. 4 – $4.40)

The four-year-old has performed well on the synthetic at both runs this time in. He’s back to turf but will be fitter again for this.

**** LAY OF THE DAY ****

TOP SECRET (Race 1 No. 6 – $3.90)
Top Secret led and weakened to be beaten more than seven lengths first-up. He’ll be fitter but he’ll have to work early from a tricky gate and could be under pressure late.
