5Da Snoop Dog

Our price $2.80 · SP $3.80 · Jett Newman

Da Snoop Dog presents as the most logical winner dropping significantly in class after competitive runs in Listed and Open company.

2nd pick10th
8Call To Courage

Our price $6.00 · SP $12.00 · Leah Martyn

Call To Courage won impressively last start at this exact track and distance, showing she handles the synthetic surface well. The class rise is a concern, but her tactical speed and proven ability at the venue make her a strong threat. Leah Martyn's 20% recent strike rate adds confidence.

3rd pick7th
12Steffi Electrica

Our price $4.50 · SP $6.00 · Benjamin Osmond

Value pick2nd
9Marathia

Our price $5.00 · SP $10.00 · Bella Youngberry

Marathia offers value with the crucial barrier 1 draw at a track that heavily favours early position. Her recent Gold Coast win shows current form, and the strong jockey/horse combination adds confidence. The inside draw could be the key to overcoming the class rise.
