BEST BET

AQUEDUCT (Race 2 No.3 – $3.60)

Aqueduct trialled well before a solid debut at Mornington. Expecting him to improve with the benefit of race experience.

NEXT BEST

ROYAL INSIGNIA (Race 4 No.4 – $4.80)

Royal Insignia improved sharply when getting onto good ground at Kyneton. He can go on with it with added fitness.

NOVA LIGHTS (Race 8 No.12 – $5)

Nova Lights chased well when not far away at The Valley last time. Expecting him to have every chance on Wednesday.

VALUE BET

DELIVERING (Race 7 No.9 – $10)

Delivering worked too hard from a tough gate before weakening at Geelong but raced consistently previously. He’s worth another chance.
