BEST BET - #3 - Mare Of Mt Buller
Hard to knock Waller’s Mare Of Mt Buller after the way she has kicked off her career and the intent that the stable seems to have sending their runners out to this course. He broke maiden at the end of last year at just start number two at Kembla in fine fashion before stepping out at Canterbury over this trip at the beginning of the year and winning again with something in hand. He now comes back from a short break and has had two trials to lead him back into racing, should be sharp off the back of those.
THE DANGER - #4 - Waikato Girl
Waikato Girl came back to racing off of a 13 week spell since breaking maiden for Mick Freedman at this course late last year and returned to racing seemingly very well. She stepped out at Kensington over the 1400m where she did plenty of work through the run from out wide but the winner just proved too strong late when into second place. Fitter and out in trip now she will be as dangerous as ever.
VALUE BET - #5 - Zarrose (ROUGHIE OF THE DAY)
One who I am having a stab at odds with is Zarrose for the Snowden’s. He has shaped up to be quite a smart horse with two wins and two placings in his six run career and I think he only comes in at the big price due to the run last time out. However, when you look into that run he never was given clear air at all when trapped along the fence and just not able to get into the race. The two prior efforts were very strong and I am keen to give him another chance here.
