Best Bet

Race 6 - #2 MR DIDGERIDOO (Win)

Mr Didgeridoo, the half brother to Justaskme, looks primed for victory in this R65 contest. The blinkers have been applied, stepping up to 1400m on the short back up, with early money also coming for this Allan Sharrock trained galloper. The $2.70 is still overs for mine, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him shorten further. 

Value Bet

Race 8 - #1 DUKE OF PLUMPTON (Each Way)

He was well beaten earlier this month at Rotorua in the bottomless conditions, where he was first up since November 2022. Now 2nd up, Duke Of Plumpton looks better suited to show his best form which saw him competitive in metro grade Melbourne racing last Winter. The $11/$3 looks the right price to have a play, if he brings his best, he would be very hard to beat in a R75 here.
