Race 4
(1) Cripps has found flying form over in Tasmania producing two high rated wins while over there. He brings plenty of confidence back to Victoria and maps to get a soft run which should help offset the heavy weight. Despite the gap between runs he profiles well fresh and looks the one to beat.
Selections:
(1) Cripps
(7) Silver Top Ridge
(4) Quebeck
(2) Superset
Suggested Bet: (1) Cripps WIN
Race 5
(7) Not Surprised was scratched from a winnable metro race at Morphettville on Saturday and drops in level from the race she resumed in at Ballarat. She maps well from the low barrier and should settle in a prominent position on speed. Fitter second up and down in grade, she looks well placed to win.
Selections:
(7) Not Surprised
(11) Marilyn’s Edge
(12) Lujaego
(3) Lim’s Teide
Suggested Bet: (7) Not Surprised WIN
