BEST BET - #3 - Fretta - (BEST BET)
Last time out at Sandown-Hillside, Fretta 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, Fretta was 55kg and ended up finishing 2nd, behind Zoltan (58kg) over 1500m after being right in the thick of things around the corner. Rates a terrific each-way play, I think.
THE DANGER - #10 - Alcabeel
Finished 4th on July 17 at Randwick-Kensington. That should be a good form guide for this race. Likes running first-up.
VALUE BET - #9 - Starianne
Its last race saw this horse finish 9th of 14 at Sandown-Hillside in a BM70 over 1300m. However, I think Starianne can do a better job here from barrier 11. Very good record at the track, watch out for it on Wednesday.
