BEST BET - #4 - Defining (NEXT BEST)
I think this will be a close run race between the top picks and damn I am going to be angry if I am wrong to give Defining another chance here. She was great when fresh on Ballarat Cup Day and then again was good at Sandown second up. She then raced plainly at Sandown behind Wishlor Lass but did have some excuses there and now drops back in grade, gets Jamie Kah on and I think that $5.50 is enticing enough for me to be backing her.
THE DANGER - #1 - No secret
No Secret has been racing well for Michael Moroney. She’s had three weeks between runs when she last won over this track and distance and there she was given a near perfect opportunity to win when sliding through a gap, taking the lead and being far too good for them. If she was given the same here I would be super confident but she gets up in weight and has a shaky map for this, however on talent alone she will still be hard to beat.
VALUE BET - #7 - Diamond Model
Diamond Model knows how to win and that alone is valuable over some of these. She’s been in great form recently when second to the progressive Lady Tino, only being outrun late before heading to this track and distance at the beginning of the month and after blundering at the start she still was too good, taking over inside the 200m and drawing away from the field. She might want longer but only has to do the same as she did last time to win this.
