ROSEHILL

NIC ASHMAN (Daily Telegraph). Tipster’s recent form: 02704

MOUNTAIN VIEW

Race 4, No. 11

For a horse that got within 3-1/4 lengths of Target In Sight when resuming last campaign, he looks good value here.

TAB Fixed Odds: $51

STEPHEN ZAMMIT (Daily Telegraph). Form: 54x60

SONG AND LAUGHTER

Race 10, No. 18

This horse loves a wet track but every time she gets one lately, they call the races off! Trained by Kevin Moses, she was most impressive winning over 1400m at Warwick Farm on April 15 in the wet. Won’t get a bog track this week but can win again.

TAB Fixed Odds: $8.50

DARREN PRENDERGAST (Super Racing). Form: 63501

QUICK STRIKE

Race 10, No. 5

Freshened after running a close-up fifth in the ATC Australian Derby last month. Drop back in distance should not be problem as he has a win over 1500m to his credit. Also gets 3kg claim with Brodie Loy on board.

TAB Fixed Odds: $6

FLEMINGTON

MATT STEWART (Herald Sun). Tipster’s form: 22663

HIGH DESIGN

Race 8, No. 11

Last two excellent and looks well placed again at good each-way odds.

TAB Fixed Odds: $7

ROD NICHOLSON (Herald Sun). Form: 11200

LUMOSTY

Race 6, No. 7

Has trialled well for this first-up. Talented filly at each-way odds.

TAB Fixed Odds: $3.10

SIMON MOY (Super Racing). Form: 00106

REPARATIONS

Race 6, No. 1

Goes well fresh and likes the straight track at Flemington.

TAB Fixed Odds: $8

MICHAEL MANLEY (Herald Sun). Form: 27013

AMARELA

Race 3, No. 12

Looked top class winning her debut at Bendigo defeating a field which included one of the main hopes in this Oak Park Goblet.

TAB Fixed Odds: $21

DOOMBEN

NATHAN EXELBY (The Courier-Mail). Form: 12668

SCISSOR KICK

Race 8, No. 11

Right on their heels in the All Aged Stakes and this should be a shade easier. Connections are desperate to win a Group 1 with him and he’s drawn an ideal alley. Will relish the hot speed and if he sees daylight in the straight, should finish hard.

TAB Fixed Odds: $9.50

BRAD DAVIDSON (Gold Coast Bulletin). Form: 35007

MADOTTI

Race 5, No.11

One of the most open races of the day but this filly has snuck under the guard of bookmakers and punters alike here. You could make a case that she wins the Magic Millions 2YO Classic and Ken Russell Memorial Classic if she drew a gate and only the tempo of the race stopped her winning last first-up. They should go quick here and she will get her chance late.

TAB Fixed Odds: $13

MORPHETTVILLE

LINCOLN MOORE (The Advertiser). Tipster’s recent form: 421

HERE TO THERE

Race 4, No. 4

Bursting to break through here in SA and found the line smartly last time.

Gets Damien Oliver in the saddle today and looks great each-way value at $8 with UBET.

TAB Fixed Odds: $8

NICK QUINN (TAB)

NICOSCENE

Race 6, No. 2

Racing in terrific order this campaign with two wins and two placings from four starts and with some luck could be undefeated. Loves the trip with three wins and four placings from eight attempts and looks an each-way special.

TAB Fixed Odds: $8
