Best Bet:

Race 6 No. 7 Tessa's Choice

This filly has always looked a blinkers candidate and that key gear change was in effect via her Caulfield Heath return on April 16.

While she couldn't land a strong betting push ($5.50-$3.90), Tessa's Choice was good without favours in that recent fresh outing.

After being shuffled back from a wide alley, the daughter of Extreme Choice was set a big task first-up and she'll strip fitter from that.

Tessa's Choice was Group 3-placed as a juvenile and she was competitive twice at black-type level after a maiden victory last prep.

Value Bet:

Race 5 No. 1 Estrapaz

He was plain first-up via a BM70 at Cranbourne, but Estrapaz improved off that when dropping back to a BM64 second-up.

The six-year-old should've finished closer in that Geelong tilt, where he was held-up and the gelding was good through the line.

With Prevailed winning a BM70 at his next start and Sugar Coat not disgraced last Saturday at Caulfield, that April 11 form reads okay.

Estrapaz has a fair record in this grade and with the ability to take the lead from gate one, he can give a big sight at decent odds.

Market Mover:

Race 2 No. 14 Testing One Two

There's been an early push at big odds for this Ciaron Maher-trained debutant, who was spelled after two November jump-out's and he's completed two April heats ahead of his first start.

After opening at $27 with Neds, Testing One Two has also been backed at $15, $14, $11 and $10 (currently $9.50).

Stats Say:

With 187 winners so far this season, the Ben, Will & JD Hayes stable are leading the Victorian Trainers Premiership and they're currently 26 clear of Ciaron Maher in second.

The brothers have accepted with eight runners on Thursday's Kyneton card.
