BEST BET

Race 8 No.11 MAKDANE: Hat-trick contender after dominant wins at Geelong and Sale respectively. Drawn wide but more than capable of getting the job done.

NEXT BEST

Race 3 No.1 ALL BUSINESS: Track and distance winner two starts back. Last start third in a stronger race at Flemington. Back to Benchmark 70 Fillies and would only need to hold recent form.

VALUE BET

Race 6 No.4 CHARMED RUN: Hit the line hard last start to run third in a blanket finish. Looked a good thing licked. Fitter again third-up but always needs luck as a backmarker.
