BEST BETS

Hastings October 16, Race 7 Four Queens: Has a tricky draw but hard to fault the form, including third placing here on first day of the carnival.

Ashburton October 16, Race 7 Dunhill: Forgive last run after no luck in the run. Previous form was top class and can bounce back.

Rotorua October 17, Race 2 El Vencedor: Drops in class from below-par effort last time out, well placed to make amends.
