Herald Sun and Racenet form analyst Brad Waters looks at Friday’s Swan Hill meeting.

BEST BET

FREEDOM ESCAPE (Race 6 No. 2 – $6.50)

Freedom Escape chased well behind a handy stayer at Bendigo and looks ready for 2400m now. He can break through on Friday.

NEXT BEST

MISS ALTAIR (Race 2 No. 11 – $4)

Miss Altair raced on the speed and boxed on OK at Sandown on debut. Expecting improvement with race experience.

KING’S CAPITAL (Race 5 No. 2 – $2.30)

King’s Capital is racing in great head in both Victoria and SA and should again slide forward and be in this for a long way.

VALUE BET

PINTOFF (Race 7 No. 2 – $12)

Pintoff wasn’t far away second-up at Flemington and will be fitter for that. He’ll have every chance in a race with little pace.

THE JOCKEY

HARRY COFFEY

Jockey Harry Coffey has seven rides at Swan Hill on Friday. POROTO (Race 1 No. 10 – $3.90), OLIVIA’S SCANDAL (Race 2 No. 5 – $3.60), WAREO ROAD (Race 3 No. 7 – $14), CAVITY BAY (Race 4 No. 10 – $10), KOYUGA BREEZE (Race 5 No. 9 – $26), MY YANKEE GIRL (Race 7 No. 6 – $12), STRIPPED BACK (Race 8 No. 4 – $13)
