Best Bets
Race 4: Officer In Command
M F De Kock / M Yeni
Consistent form, including in his first run out of the maidens. Drops back to 1600 m again and is less exposed than most.
Race 5: Sukhumvit
A G Laird / D De Gouveia
Well weighted and looks like there is more to come, drops in class. Hard to beat!
Race 7: Black Egret
C Binda / R Danielson
Ran much better than expected in a Listed race at Scottsville last time out, each way value if repeating that level of form here.
