BEST BET
QUISEEN (Race 6 No.3 – $6.50): Won well at Ballarat before another solid effort in town. She’s hard fit for three runs back and has drawn for the perfect run.

NEXT BEST
FOX MAN (Race 2 No.4 – $7): The Matt Cumani-trained Fox Man is racing in great heart and was only grabbed on the line at Warrnambool. He can break through this time.

SOUL OF SPAIN (Race 7 No.10 – $4.80): Chris Waller unveiled Soul Of Spain at Sandown last time out where he chased well over 1800m. He’ll relish stepping up in trip second-up.

VALUE BET
DONEGAL SOUL (Race 4 No.15 – $12): The filly chased well when not far away at Kilmore third-up. She’ll be fitter again and could continue to improve.

THE JOCKEY – JOHN ALLEN
Jockey John Allen heads to Ballarat for five rides on Wednesday. PETROULA (Race 1 No.6 – $5.50), DANZAGRUNT (Race 4 No.6 – $8.50), KIMMORLEY (Race 5 No.10 – $126), DESPERADO (Race 7 No. 4 – $2.60), SANDWINA (Race 8 No. 9 – $4.20).
