BEST BET
HOWDY (Race 7 No.5): Surged to victory last start at Cranbourne and won quite softly on the post. Rinse and repeat?

NEXT BEST
GABOR (Race 1 No.11): Promising first-starter coming off two 800m trial wins on the home deck at Pakenham. Giving away experience to a few but looks to have a bright future. Respect the booking of Craig Williams.

DAELLA (Race 4 No.4): Knocking on the door, placed in four of five starts including the past three. Won a Cranbourne maiden last campaign. Gets her chance to bank a deserved win here.

VALUE BET
BOLOGNA BABY (Race 5 No.2): Seven-start maiden but improved with every start this time in and could be ready to show something up in distance. Placed in a 1600m maiden fourth-up last campaign.

THE JOCKEY – CRAIG WILLIAMS
GABOR (Race 1 No.11), PUGLIA (Race 5 No.9), STEALTH OF NIGHT (Race 8 No.6)
