Saturday's metropolitan meetings have thrown up several runners that look capable of outrunning their quotes, with value available across the major cards.
For a full breakdown of our leading selections for July 25, head to Saturday's Best Bets.
Belmont Roughie Tip
Belmont Roughie - Race 4 No. 8 Southern Firetail
Western Miss deserves favouritism, but she's now deep into her first preparation, rises 3.5kg and drops back to 1400m after putting together a winning hat-trick.
She's also likely to strike a firmer surface this time around after all three victories came on rain-affected tracks, including two on a Soft 7.
Freshened since February, Southern Firetail looked sharp winning a recent Lark Hill trial, while his maiden success has already received a timely form boost through Common Touch.
With race fitness on his side and each-way odds available, he shapes as a genuine value play.
Caulfield Roughie Tip
Caulfield Roughie - Race 8 No. 9 Crimson Vine
A return to 2000m could be the catalyst for Crimson Vine after two encouraging runs to begin the campaign, with little luck first-up before closing off well second-up.
His best form last preparation came at this trip, winning at Murray Bridge before adding a stakes placing over the distance.
The son of Redwood also held his own in stronger staying races, including a Group 3 placing and a competitive Adelaide Cup performance.
Back over a more suitable journey and carrying less weight, he appeals as an attractive outsider.
Eagle Farm Roughie Tip
Eagle Farm Roughie - Race 9 No. 8 Pocket Full
Despite the long winning drought, Pocket Full has continued to race honestly, placing twice over this course, distance and grade earlier in the campaign.
His latest three runs have all had merit, particularly last start when covering ground in a muddling Doomben affair after drawing wide.
Barrier five should allow for a much softer run in transit, while the return to this trip also looks in his favour.
If things fall into place, he can make his presence felt at generous each-way odds.
Morphettville Roughie Tip
Morphettville Roughie - Race 5 No. 9 Glouf
Third-up over 1600m looks ideal for Glouf after catching the eye with strong late work in both winter runs.
The son of Shamus Award has repeatedly found himself too far back over shorter trips, but he's continued to finish off in encouraging fashion.
The Will Clarken stable has elected to tackle a Benchmark 72 despite his maiden status, which suggests confidence in his ability.
A kinder draw and the rise in distance could see him produce a career-best performance.
Randwick Roughie Tip
Randwick Roughie - Race 4 No. 6 Aisle Two
Her final run of last preparation is easy to overlook after stretching to 2000m in the Group 1 Vinery Stud Stakes.
Before that, Aisle Two progressed nicely through the grades, winning at Kembla Grange before claiming a BM72 at Rosehill over a mile.
She also measured up in black-type company during the autumn and has returned with a pleasing Rosehill trial.
Barrier one and Adam Hyeronimus give her every opportunity to launch a bold first-up bid at appealing odds.
