BEST BET

OH TOO GOOD (R8 No.10): Oh Too Good went forward from a wide draw last start and was a dominant winner over Jimmy The Bear at the track and distance. She should adopt similar tactics from barrier 13 in a race where there are only a few frontrunners on paper.

NEXT BEST

KNOBELAS (R4 No.9): Knobelas has dominated from the front in her past two, winning both by more than three lengths, and looks an exciting prospect. She could get her way again stepping up to Saturday city class.

MOLLYNICKERS (R9 No.3): Mollynickers gets another chance after getting too far back from the wide draw last start, and can settle closer here from an inside barrier.

LAY OF THE DAY

CAPTAIN ELECTRIC (R5 No.10): Captain Electric is backing up after a poor run in a BM78 last Saturday and now takes on some tough stayers.

THE JOCKEY

JAMIE MELHAM

Jamie Melham has landed a few top rides in her return from holidays.

JIMMY RECARD (R1 No.3 – $6.50), BAYOU MUSIC (R2 No.2 – $7), INHIBITIONS (R3 No.4 – $4.20), KNOBELAS (R4 No.9 – $2.30), SAMMARCO (R5 No.2 – $41), SHE’S AN ARTIST (R6 No.5 – $1.60), DETONATOR JACK (R8 No.2 – $17), FIRE OF ETNA (R9 No.2 – $6)
