Best Bet

Race 2 - #1 PRINCE TURBO (Win)

His recent wins over the bigger fences have been ultra-impressive. While he is winless over the hurdles (4:0-2-1-1) his class alone should see him hold these off. He has truly emerged this season as an exciting jumper, and I can see him securing a long overdue hurdle win in this. The Myers/Fannin combination has been lethal again this season and I rated Prince Turbo closer to $1.60 in this field with the $1.75 opening quote as good as we can expect to see for him here.

Next Best

Race 1 - #6 PASSWORD (Win)

From the ever consistent stable of Harvey Wilson, Password has amassed a handy record over the hurdles without securing a maiden win (5:0-1-1-2). Form behind the likes of Prince Turbo, The Mighty Spar, Taika and English Gambler in his most recent runs suggests he has no shortage of jumping ability. Debuting over the steeplechase fences here, the 3kg claim of in form Jack Power will be a big assist. The concern may be how heavy the track is, but with the Trentham figure eight course in play, it should be no issue.

Value Bet

Race 10 - #6 ZOEY SATIN (Each Way)

Her resuming run this prep was the flashing light. Since then, she was only fair second up and put in a performance to ignore last start on the synthetic. The heavy track will play to her liking, and she will be right at peak fitness now with runs on the board. When all the boxes are ticked, she has plenty of class and there is a sense of timing about her preparation. The in-form Kate Hercock gets aboard and at $8.50/$2.50 she represents a value play in what will be a tough race by the end of the day.
