BEST BET

SNICK (Race 8 No. 6) Snared a deserved maiden win at 18th start, placed on another nine occasions, and could go on with the job a bit now.

NEXT BEST

HIGHLAND HARLEY (Race 9 No. 5) Awkwardly drawn but bolted in first-up for Enver Jusufovic last start at Warrnambool. No reason why he cannot win again.

VALUE BET

MORE TORQUE (Race 1 No. 1) Drawn best of the main chances and could be important late. Found only one better last start.

VALUE BET

JOHNNY BOZ (Race 3 No. 7) Brother of Ice Pick Nick, a multiple metro winner in Melbourne and Perth, has upside. Might need a fraction further but go both ways.
