BEST BET - #1 - Eastern Glow (BEST BET)
Eastern Glow rates a long way in front of this field and whilst there are some debutants here for the top NSW stables who look strong I think he is going too well to ignore and presents at a nice price. He beat the likes of Hollywood hero over this track and trip two back before putting in a very close second placing in the Dubbo Cup last time out. He’s hard fit, in form, Stanley has been with him all prep and retains the ride, can win again.
THE DANGER - #4 - For Victory
For Victory see’s Jaoa Morriera get the booking for his ride as Joao comes over to Australia again this year to race in our peak Group 1 races that we see coming up over the next few weeks in Australia and if his last stint in Australia is anything to go by, everything he touches runs well. This horse is stepping back from Saturday grade and meets a beatable field here hard fit now, the booking of Morriera signals intent. All positive signs.
VALUE BET - #6 - Spaltet
Spaltet has looked very sharp since joining the Baker stable and looks to be approaching something of his peak now third up. He joined the camp a few months ago and has run well in two starts back when really getting going in his last outing a few weeks ago at the Hawkesbury where he found the front in the last 200m and was strong to the line, only missing to one other horse. He shapes up very well in this field now and I think he only runs well here.
