Victoria hosts two meetings on Friday, one in the far east of the state at Bairnsdale and another in Geelong.
Best Bet
Coral Emperor was excellent on debut at Ballarat, settling midfield and drawing away from the field with the eventual winner, getting beaten a head but with a massive margin back to third. That was over 1500m, so the mile now should be perfect. With any luck should be too good in a very thin race.
Recommended Price: $2.50
Confidence Level: 4/5
More Racing Tips
Fantastic Rock is a huge price here for a horse that is a massive chance of winning this race. His last two starts over this track and trip have been excellent, and he was beaten just over his length at his most recent. Mel Julius should press forward on him and take plenty of catching.
Recommended Price: $9.00/3.00
Confidence Level: 3/5
Calvi was disappointing last time at Moe but that was on heavy ground, he should appreciate a much firmer surface here. He showed first up at Geelong – and when he won his maiden by eleven lengths – that he has the talent to win this. Looks an attractive price.
Recommended Price: $4.60
Confidence Level: 3.5/5
Vivideel is a really promising son of Dundeel. He showed nice speed to win his maiden first up on the Ballarat synthetic leading all the way. Breeding suggests the extra trip is no obstacle at all, expect him to sit on the speed here and take plenty of running down.
Recommended Price: $6.00
