BEST BET: race 7 #1 SHERLOCK HOLMES

BEST VALUE: race 8 #13 SAVAJU

Race 1: 11-13-6-7

Going with the three-year-olds with more upside here and leaning BLACK HAT after three runs including one at this trip. The filly REEH hardest to beat.

Race 2: 1-4-5-7

Banking on experience for the limited FUTURIST but no surprise to see a first starter figure, led by ECHO JET in good stable.

Race 3: 9-1-3-2

Have to stick with TEODORA who was impressive on debut in maiden grade and not taking on any rising stars at this BM64.

Race 4: 5-9-1-4

Like the first up win of THAT RINGS A BELL here and Oliver sticks. Makes own luck and good enough to go back to back.

Race 5: 2-3-7-4

CORUSCATE gets blinkers here and was sound in tougher MV race first-up.

Race 6: 7-4-12-6

Thought a gear change might have been in wind for KING MOBASSA but trust in Weir to get horse right. SUPER SNOB the clear danger.

Race 7: 1-9-7-5

Expecting sharp improvement from SHERLOCK HOLMES here. Out to 2400m, was good resuming over 1800m but just needs to handle the race day experience better.

Race 8: 13-7-12-6

SAVAJU is a local with good record on home track and race got away from it at Flemington up the straight. Good value but wide quaddie leg.
