BEST BET

SURECAN (Race 8 No.4 – $2)

Surecan raced on the speed when an easy winner fresh at Yarra Valley. She can control this race from the front as well and should be just as hard to beat.

NEXT BEST

IS THIS LOVE (Race 3 No.10 – $3.40)

Is This Love returned with a solid second at Bendigo, beating home a subsequent city placegetter. She’ll be better for it and should again go close at Cranbourne.

OUR WIND SPIRIT (Race 6 No.2 – $6.50)

Our Wind Spirit has a strong first-up record and was competitive in harder races last time in. He likes this trip and jumped out well leading up to this.
