TODAY’S FORM GUIDE AT THE TIP OF YOUR FINGER

BEST BET

PALACIO MUSICO (Race 3, No 1, $2.50)

Gelded and spelled since decent performance at The Valley, where he over-raced and covered ground. Showed enough last preparation to be contending here.

NEXT BEST

BOSS’N THE MOSS (Race 5, No 2, $4.20)

Controlled the race during a dominant 1980m win at Tatura. Should appreciate the step to 2124m.

DARCI’S TUNE (Race 6, No 5, $5)

Expect substantial improvement off Echuca 1400m 7th last time when slowly away and caught wide after drifting markedly in betting.

NEBARAZ (Race 8, No 2, $7.50)

Capable of much better than recent form suggests. Blinkers on again and Tayla Childs’ three-kilo claim is critical.

THE JOCKEY

MICHAEL DEE

The Kiwi rides DIORA (Race 1, No 9, $3.50) or EXPENSIVE TO KEEP (Race 1, No 12, $9,50), FREE WILMA (Race 2, No 4, $2.50), PALACIO MUSICO (Race 3, No 1, $2.50) and SAHAR (Race 6, No 2, $17).
