Selections:

Wanganella - 3.40

More Bliss – 3.40

Moonbeams – 8.50

BEST BET – Wanganella

Having been heavily backed on his last start but ultimately having just missed out, we are taking a chance on Wanganella to break her maiden. She is likable, having placed on three of her four starts this season and there will be a hope that more will come here.

THE DANGER – More Bliss

The main danger in the race is likely to come from More Bliss, she could even start as the favourite. Yet to finish outside the places on any of her first three starts, she should be competitive here. She was making her first start in over three months last time out and was just denied, she should be sharper here and makes plenty of appeal.

VALUE BET – Moonbeams

If you are looking for one at a price, Moonbeams could be worth a second look. She is more exposed than most, but has placed on two of her last three starts. She is vulnerable but could put her experience to use in this field.

Selections:

Too Darn Sweet – 2.10

Bad Education – 6.00

Shivoo – 10.00

BEST BET – Too Darn Sweet

Superbly bred, Too Darn Sweet will be hoping its a case of fourth time lucky as she bids for a first success. She has finished second in all three of her starts to date and will be hoping to get off the mark here - she should be popular in the betting.

THE DANGER – Bad Education

When it comes to prize money and competitive racing, no other horse can compare to Bad Education. Despite having won almost $250,000 he has only won five of his 52 starts, and his last win came over 18 months ago. He could be a danger if he can get it right on the day.

VALUE BET – Shivoo

With several short of form here, Shivoo brings in a semblance of winning form with a win three starts ago. However, he hasn't taken to the track in six months. He is another who is capable but he does have fitness concerns to overcome.

Selections:

Beetlegeuse – 3.50

Justice – 5.00

Doctor Iris – 12.00

BEST BET – Beetleguese

Having raced at a higher level, Beetleguese returns to calmer waters and will be bidding for a second winner in what will be his twelfth race. Expect him to be up with the pace, he could be hard to pass.

THE DANGER – Justice

Justice is one of the most experienced horses in this lineup and will be bidding for a sixth career win. He has won two of his last three but did run poorly last time. This should be easier and his connections will hope it results in a return to form.

VALUE BET – Doctor Iris

Doctor Iris has won just one of his twelve starts but he has been knocking on the door of late. He has produced two second place efforts in both of his last two starts and can’t be discounted in a race where so many are out of form.
