Quick Analysis:

Sticking with the narrow favourite, Empress Of The Sun, for Race 4 at Sandown Lakeside, and she still presents a little bit of value at around the $3.30 mark. She got the job done here at this track and trip last time out, and I reckon she can go two from two. That win came on a Heavy-rated track, which is what we get today, and she gets a 3kg weight relief, thanks to apprentice jockey Jabez Johnstone.

Murray Bridge - Race 5, 4:25 PM

Top Pick: 

4. United Legend

Quick Analysis:

Switching over to Murray Bridge now, and I think United Legend looks ripe for this one. He was scratched from a race last Sunday with this one in mind. While the wide draw doesn’t help on paper, it may actually be the place to be on a Soft or Heavy-rated track. He also has a good record here at Murray Bridge, with two wins and a placing from three starts.

Randwick Kensington - Race 4, 4:35 PM

Quick Analysis:

My final best bet of the day comes at Randwick Kensington with John Dory. The gelding hasn’t exactly lit the world on fire so far this prep, but he is still good enough to beat this field. The 3YO draws well for this one, and gets a 2kg weight relief thanks to apprentice jockey Siena Grima. I can’t see any other runner beating the Chris Waller-trained runner today.
