Good morning,

Bet of the Day Race 2 1.Espionage $2.50

Value bet of the Day Race 11 3.The Belvoir $4 and may pay more closer to start time.  2nd

Suggested multi of the Day Espionage to win $2.20, R6 Casino Princess Top 2 $1.65, The Belvoir Top 2.20 $10 returns $79.80Suggested late quaddie for $8 for 10%

R8   1, 2, 3, 4

R9   2, 3, 4, 5, 6

R10   3, 5, 7, 8

R11   3

Race 2

Confidence:3/5

1.Espionage Last start here he didn’t get all favours and ran about a bit. Some gear changes should fix that and the step to 1600 m against a week field looks ideal for him. RP $2.20, $2.20 FF

Race 6

Confidence:3/5

7.Casino Princess 1st $2.50  bolted in last start and her time and sectionals show that she can definitely cope with the rise in grade. RP $2.50, $2.70 FF

Race 11

Confidence:3/5

3.The Belvoir  2nd almost got up. He was very unlucky last start when held up and charged home full of running for second. Has run before here at this track was also an indicator of a win to come. Drawn wide but just needs a half decent ride to beat this lot. RP $3.00, $4 FF
