See their best bets below:👇

Tom Papley

FLEMINGTON

Race 8 | 2. Saint George

Back to best last start when got a lovely run. Similar figures to those overseas. Penny dropped now second prep in Australia, maps midfield.

ROSEHILL

Race 5 | 8. Let's Fly

Will roll forward and gets the right conditions today. Looks well over the odds.

Race 6 | 6. Editing (each-way)

Wide to inside draw can land closer and has good figures on heavy. Loses Nash which is a query yes but still happy to be with each way.

GOLD COAST

Race 6 | 2. The Instructor

Looks a great play here. Has been backed, maps a treat, two back ran in a G1 Stradbroke 2.5L off now come back great. Was very good last start v Kings Secret in listed grade. Four starts for three wins and second up!

Race 10 | 14. Roselyn's Star

First up very good last prep and trialled well. Handles all conditions.

David Taggart

FLEMINGTON

Race 3 | 3. Our Chief

Looks the one as he hits 2000m for the first time. Soft draw. Hasn’t been far away in both runs this prep and he just looks better than them.

Race 4 | 6. Dark Simba (each-way)

Was good last start and I’m sticking with him as the form has stood up from last start. He is wanting this trip as he hits this fourth up where he’s had a win. He looks a great each-way play.

Race 6 | 2. Harry's Yacht

Won with a positive ride last start and I’d expect him to control the race as he steps up to the mile for the first time. This looks an easier race on paper than last start despite going up a grade.

Race 8 | 2. Saint George

Made amends last start with a great ride after having the run of the race. There is no reason why he can’t win again as he’s the best horse in the race.

ROSEHILL

Race 8 | 4. Rhythm Of Love (value)

Resumes and wetter the better. Has trialled up nice and always races well fresh. Gets the services of Nash who should be positive on him.

Race 10 | 1. Pippie Beach (value)

Ran out of her skin last start and she will find this easier. Gets no favour with the gate but she comes right into this after the Sienna claim and this wet track. She’s over the odds.
