BEST BET

SUBTLE POWER (R6 No.10): Former Kiwi ready to win now with three Victorian starts under the belt, placed the past two. Runner-up last start and winner saluted again since.

NEXT BEST

PINOT FOR MIKE (R2 No.8): Big run from back in the field on debut, track and distance. Should only benefit from the run and experience.

VALUE BET

OLIVIA ROSE (R3 No.9): Six-start maiden but placed the past four starts. Drawn nicely and fitness edge on the opposition.

CONVO (R5 No.10): Mixed form in the past, and trial form similar. Second in a 1200m heat at Cranbourne last month had merit. Could she run a cheeky race at odds, first-up at 1547m?
