BEST BET - #10 - Mergeila
Last run, took down Indecisive (55.5kg) over 1250m at Canterbury (starting price: $1.75). I think that was an impressive win, so I'm backing Mergeila to get the win on Wednesday, especially from barrier 8 with James McDonald in the saddle.
THE DANGER - #7 - Extremely Hardys
With Tim Clark on board, won at Canterbury (1200m) in its last start. So hopefully that form continues into Wednesday's race. On Wednesday, Kerrin McEvoy is back in the saddle and knows how to win. Get on board. Has been good before when it's first-up.
VALUE BET - #9 - Waterville
Resuming on Wednesday. Last time out at Wyong, Waterville was right up there with the leaders and put in a solid effort. He showed great speed and battled on fairly well. This time, I think it's got a more favourable draw, which should give it a better shot. With that advantage, this horse is definitely among the dangers and one to watch closely. In its last start, Waterville was 56.5kg and ended up finishing 2nd, behind Scalextrics (61kg) over 1600m after being right in the thick of things around the corner.
