FLEMINGTON

BRAD WATERS (Racenet)

YEARNING (Race 4, No.1 – $4.60)

Yearning charged home when close-up in the Let’s Elope Stakes first-up. She’ll only be fitter and is well in at the weights.

Value bet: VOW AND DECLARE (Race 6, No.2 – $10)

CHRIS VERNUCCIO (Racing News Editor)

GOLD TRIP (Race 7, No.12 – $3.60)

Was seven weeks between runs when third at the The Valley last start and that effort will bring him on here. Flemington and a drier track will be more to his liking.

Value bet: KAPAKIRI (Race 9, No.9 – $7.50)

GLENN McFARLANE (Herald Sun)

GIGA KICK (Flemington, Race 5, No.3 – $2)

Unbeaten talent who just keeps producing and looks big chance here.

Value bet: EXCELIDA (Race 4, No.8 – $11)

SIMON MOY (NewsRacing)

GIGA KICK (Flemington, Race 5, No.3 – $2)

Unbeaten and right at home at only start down the straight. Serious player.

Value bet: DAQIANSWEET JUNIOR (Race 6, No.4 – $6)

NICOLE THOMAS (TAB)

GIGA KICK (Flemington, Race 5, No.3 – $2)

Unbeaten colt who won the Vain Stakes at his third race start and has already proven himself down the Flemington straight.

Value bet: INSPIRATIONAL GIRL (Race 7, No.8 – $14)

Lost And Running can win on his way to The Everest. Picture: Mark Evans-Getty Images

ROYAL RANDWICK

MATT JONES (Daily Telegraph)

WILLIAMSBURG (Race 5, No.1 – $4.20)

He gets in so well at the weights here against his own age and ran some of the fastest last sectionals last start and he’ll eat up the mile and wet ground.

Value bet CASINO KID (Race 3, No.6 – $9)

ADAM SHERRY (Sportsman)

LOST AND RUNNING (Race 7, No.1 – $2.25)

Resumed with a solid third behind Nature Strip in The Shorts over 1100m. Will appreciate stepping up to 1200m here and the wet track won’t be a problem.

Value bet: KALINO (Race 3, No.8 – $6)

EAGLE FARM

TRENTON AKERS (Courier Mail)

BIRRIECART (Race 9, No.13 – $1.90)

This horse has plenty of upside and is in the right hands with Steve O’Dea and Matt Hoysted. Steps up in grade but gets all the weight off his back as a result. Very hard to beat.

Value bet: CLASSIQUE GAL (Race 3, No.8 – $41)
