BEST BET
Race 5 No.4 VALLEY KING: Unlucky not to score at Bendigo and gave too much start at Sandown. Expecting sharp improvement if he gets back on heavy ground on Thursday.

NEXT BEST
Race 1 No.7 EIRE OF FORTUNE: The Symon Wilde-trained filly has looked promising in her recent jumpouts and looks well suited on debut on her home track.
Race 4 No.2 BELLONADO: He’s racing well this time in and hasn’t had the best of luck at his last two runs. The Daniel Bowman-trained gelding might be looking for 2000m now.

VALUE BET
Race 8 No.3 JUST BOLTS: Wasn’t far away on the synthetic last time out and he’ll be hard fit for four runs this time in. He’ll be hard to run down getting back on the turf.
■ ■ ■ ■ ■
LAY OF THE DAY
Race 6 No.7 MY ANGEL SHELL: Has been up for a while and had every chance to post a win at his last three runs. He has a tough gate and is untried on heavy ground.
