Best Bet:


Race 5 No. 2 Nordic

The son of Magnus registered some good efforts without winning in 2024, including when placing third over 1500m here in July.

Nordic contested a Benchmark 58 handicap when beaten just under three lengths that day and he missed the rest of the year.

Andrew Noblet’s gelding recorded a win and a fourth from two jump-out's here last month prior to resuming over 1200m three weeks ago.

The five-year-old came home one-and-a-half-lengths clear of his ten rivals, having raced from mid-division that day and similar tactics are expected in this contest.

The drop back in distance proved no issue on that occasion, while the gelding has won second-up in the past.

Neil Farley retains the ride here and his mount can complete a double on Tuesday.

Value Bet:


Race 6 No. 2 Grundy Three Votes

While Robert Hickmott’s representative has had plenty of chances and two of his five placed efforts have come at this venue.

Those runs include a good second, beaten just under four lengths when contesting a course and distance maiden two weeks ago.

The son of Rebel Raider had been below par on turf this prep prior to that, including when tailed off over 1421m at Werribee on his penultimate start.

Grundy Three Votes raced from the front here last time out and similar tactics are expected in this contest. 

Jockey Ryan Hurdle, on board for each of the gelding’s last three starts, is again set to ride here.

Grundy Three Votes has drawn well and he's expected to give a sight on the speed.

Market Mover:


Race 2 No. 3 Fugacity

The seven-year-old has registered solid efforts when racing at this venue on each of his last two starts.

The second of those saw the gelding beaten two lengths into third in a 1200m Benchmark 58 handicap two weeks ago.

Rodney Foster’s representative jumped from a wide alley that day and with a better barrier here, Unibet Australia punters have latched on to him early ($5.50-$3.60).

Stats Say: 


The Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman team do well at this venue, with the stable boasting a near 21% strike-rate (5/24) with their runners here.

They saddle four runners spread across three events, with the first of those Miss Kasei in the third race of the day.

The stable are double-handed with Galactic Force and Parak set to represent them in the fourth, while their final runner is Savamoon in the finale.
