See their best bets below:👇

Cam Luke

WERRIBEE

Race 2 | 3. Monsun's Pride

Should be able to push forward and either lead or sit OSL (Bling Baby). He didn’t love a horse all over him last start so hopefully he is gets clear room today. Clearly looking for a bit mote ground and he gets to back to 1600m today. Third up he should be ready to peak and he will take some beating today.

Race 4 | 7. Angel Feet

Short price fave has some class but I think this guy will out stay him late. Drops back from 2500m at Pakenham where he was pretty good in a race where the two who beat him are decent horses (Erupt is in the St Leger) Being on top of the ground is a little help to this bloke compare to fav. Draw a little sticky so keen to have them be proactive early as being back might not help him. Both in the EQ but I expect this bloke to be real tough late and be mighty hard to beat!

Race 7 | 1. Seethru

He has jumped out well and he likes to roll which I expect him to do with the 4kg claim. Normally runs well 1st up and the good track is to his liking. This is easier than the end of his last prep and one of those he chased home Zambardo. Moore is early into career but he rides best on speed and I think that’s where he will be and be extremely tough to catch. One out in the quaddie!

COFFS HARBOUR

Race 4 | 1. Prince Of Prophets

He is the fit horse and he loves a toe in the ground and the 1400m suits. He belted them here two back and with even luck he is closer last time at Grafton. That’s the slight issue here, he will need some luck. Good gate might be used to be closer in the running but he does tend to drift back normally. Spokes rode him a treat 2 back and if he gets the openings again, he will beat them.

Race 8 | 9. Hayley's Rocket

Sticky draw is somewhat overcome by her early speed and I think she will sit OSL the fave (Hey Daisy) Her first prep was really solid and stacks up to this. Softish track is no concern and probably gives her a slight tick over HD who is suited back to 1000m and a better track than Heavy last start. Her debut run was in a tougher a race than this so will run well fresh again and be very hard to beat. Only her and HD in the quad!

TAMWORTH

Race 3 | 5. Grande Diablo

Was pretty resuming after being given time to mature and back to the 1400m is key today. He can stalk the speed (Toke will lead) On top of the ground is a plus and I think he is the type of horse who will appreciate Tamworth. Hot Chooks is the danger but I have a Q on him to 1400m today so I am siding with the boy who will be strong late. Getting cover the key.
Race 5 | 7. Aussie Nation

Did what he had to do last start and this is tougher but he is the fit boy in the field and loves the trip! He will settle close enough to the speed (Visualise / Aim Point) and stalk. The good track is delicious for him as well. The speed will be enough to help stretch the horses who have a Q over them at the trip. That includes the fav Warrior for Peace who is the classiest horse in the race but 1400m up to 2100m leaves me out and I'll side with the distance horse.

Race 6 | 5. Chandon Star

They will go fast as get out but this bloke is drawn well to hold the fence. He is flying right now and he loves the track! He has no drama at the 1200m and the stable is in form. He beat the Fave (Pride to Follow) last start and although its up a bit in trip, they will have almost identical speed maps. Anytime he gets a firm track and a nice track he takes catching and that’s the case again today.
