News Corp form analyst Brad Waters looks at Thursday’s meeting at Sale.

BEST BET

LUNAR MODULE (Race 5 No.1 – $2.25)

Lunar Module is racing in great heart over 1000m this time in. No reason she won’t go well again.

NEXT BEST

SEPALS (Race 1 No.3 – $3.50)

Sepals did his best work late at Yarra Valley on debut before winning another jumpout at Mornington. He’ll improve at Sale.

VERDOUX (Race 8 No.2 – $4.20)

Verdoux raced wide but still bolted in on debut at Werribee. He’ll be better for the experience and has drawn well.

VALUE BET

POWERFUL TORQUE (Race 7 No.6 – $7)

Powerful Torque got up narrowly when resuming at Sale last time. He’s up in class but is an improving type.

THE JOCKEY

JAMIE MOTT

Jockey Jamie Mott heads to Sale for seven rides on Thursday. SEPALS (Race 1 No.3 – $3.50), PEACE BABY (Race 2 No.6 – $7), LEGENT (Race 3 No.4 – $23), PEEAITCHDEE (Race 4 No.5 – $41), LUNAR MODULE (Race 5 No.1 – $2.25), HOLLYWOOD ACE (Race 7 No.3 – $5), BARBARIC LAD (Race 8 No.3 – $3.80).
