BEST BET

ODINSON

Race 8 No. 3 $4.40

One start last campaign and bolted in by 2-3/4 lengths at Doomben. Given time and trialled nicely recently at Cranbourne, third behind Group 1-winner Magic Time.

NEXT BEST

LEONCHROI

Race 2 No. 7 $2.30

Well backed on debut at Pakenham and powered home for third after being caught too far back in the 1600m maiden. Drawn nicely and 1800m looks ideal second-up.

NEXT BEST

APPOINTED

Race 3 No. 1 $3

Finished strongly first-up at The Valley to run third. Fitter again and drops in grade. Among the better bets on the card.

VALUE BET

INEZ

Race 5 No. 6 $7

Good win first-up at Kilmore after a year off the scene. Showed ability early and has plenty of upside.

VALUE BET

SONTAY

Race 6 No. 9 $10

The four-year-old mare, only lightly raced, has won and placed first-up previously. Jumped out nicely in preparation, including an 800m heat win at Stawell recently.
