The 1600m maiden shapes as an interesting contest for improving gallopers, while the closing sprint offers another opportunity for runners with strong recent form to return to winning ways.

Our Daily Racing Multi also brings together leading selections from multiple meetings.

Seymour Best Bet - Race 4 No. 6 Chip In

Third-up and rising to 1600m, Chip In looks ready to produce his best performance yet, with the Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman-trained gelding showing enough in his first two appearances to suggest a maiden breakthrough is close.

The son of Contributor made his debut over 1200m at Seymour last month, finishing fifth before stepping up in distance at Sale, where he was seventh behind Majestic Flyer but beaten only three lengths.

There was more merit to that second performance than the finishing position suggested, with Chip In settling worse than midfield in a slowly run race that made it difficult for those attempting to make ground from the rear.

He was doing his best work late on that occasion, and with several runners capable of pushing forward here, a stronger tempo should give him a better opportunity to build momentum over a distance that looks more suitable at this stage of his preparation.

Barrier three is another positive, providing the opportunity to settle closer rather than conceding a significant start, and with two runs now under his belt, Chip In looks well placed to make his presence felt over the concluding stages.

Seymour Value Bet - Race 8 No. 10 Oceanella

A return to winning form looks within reach for Oceanella, who has made an encouraging start to her current preparation and appeals as an each-way chance in the final race of Thursday's Seymour meeting.

The mare opened her campaign with successive victories before stepping out over 1200m at Cranbourne, where she finished a close fourth behind Hustle In Heels, beaten only half a length in a performance that had plenty of merit.

Settling further back than ideal in a slowly run contest made her task difficult, although she still produced a strong finish and was particularly effective over the final 600m when attempting to make up the necessary ground.

There does not appear to be any significant rise in class here, and while her barrier suggests she may again be ridden conservatively, the prospect of a more genuine tempo should provide a better opportunity to use her finishing speed.

With two wins already to her name this preparation and a narrow defeat under less favourable circumstances last start, Oceanella brings the right form into this assignment and should be charging home late if the race unfolds as anticipated.
