Summary of Best Bets
- Best Bet: Race 6 (2) Golden Spritz
- Value Bet: Race 9 (13) Stellar Mofeed
Track
- It is forecast for clearing weather but after rain in the lead up days it is likely the track will kick off at least as a Heavy 8.
- This is the first meeting here since late April so we see the rail placed into the True position.
- It is a tight turning track so generally an advantage to runners on speed or at least forwards of midfield in the run.
Stats That Matter
- Jordy Childs’ strong recent form is flying under the radar. He has ridden 20 winners from his last 100 rides and returned a POT of +18% for punters.
- Julius Sandhu’s stable has been in consistent form for an extended period. He has produced 19 winners from his last 100 starters for a POT return of +32.7% and also has a positive POT return at this track of +11.5%.
Race 6
(2) Golden Spritz appears to get the ideal set up to produce a peak performance third-up. He is now at peak fitness and should enjoy the run of the race from barrier three, with several of the main speed influences drawn wider.
(4) Illuminance resumes. She will need luck from barrier nine over 1400m first-up but has a strong fresh record and is capable of making her presence felt.
(3) Icaro also resumes after heading to the paddock off a win. He should return with confidence and wet conditions are unlikely to be an issue.
(8) Honey Maker ran into the placings last start on a heavy track. She should handle these conditions with little issue and is dropping slightly in grade which could help her

Suggested Bet: (2) Golden Spritz (Win)
Race 9
(13) Stellar Mofeed has been ultra-consistent this preparation with a string of placings, including runner-up finishes at her past two starts. She looked the winner at Geelong before being grabbed late and now maps for a softer run.
(2) Killiana drops in grade and is now at peak fitness. She is certainly capable of winning at her best but faces the challenge of a wide draw in testing conditions.
(8) Artbeat won on debut before an average performance last time. She may have had excuses there and now drops in weight while potentially securing a more suitable run.
(3) Antisocial was a winner 2 starts ago before taking on a stronger race where she failed to make much of an impact. She drops back in grade which suits and is proven on heavy tracks

Suggested Bet: (13) Stellar Mofeed (Each Way)
