BEST BETS

Flemington R6 No.4 Grey River

Grey River (4) deserves another win. She battled on gamely two-back when covering a stack of extra ground, before just finding the handy Snapped a little too good in the G3 Proud Miss (1200m) at Morphettville last start. She maps for an economical run from barrier two.

Rosehill R2 No.10 Maximum Vortex

Maximum Vortex (10) – the Ballina Bullet (too soon?) – is surely the most exciting horse north of Newcastle. He is certainly the most untapped. The son of Kuroshio polished off his maiden and Class 1 in consecutive starts; one by five-and-a-half lengths and the other by two lengths, so he’s got more to offer it seems. Barrier 16? Ouch.

BEST VALUE

Flemington R3 No.5 Rumbled Again

Rumbled Again (5) looks silly odds here at $21. She was luckless from barrier one at this track/distance last start and although Lloyd rides again, hopefully she can find a clearer path in the straight from gate three. She’s been ultra-consistent this year.

Rosehill R7 No.1 Battleton

Just for some context, I was pretty keen on Battleton (1) first-up here at Rosehill two weeks ago. In hindsight, perhaps it was too big an ask to win from barrier 8 with 61.5kg but tell you what, he was close enough to the run of the race bearing in mind what happened at the start as well as the finish.
