Racing on Monday comes from the picturesque, tight turning Yarra Valley track just east of Melbourne.
Best Bet
Elly Dee looks primed to break through for her first win here. The John Sadler trained mare had two starts in late spring and placed in both, behind some talented types including Nunthorpe and Musashi. She has jumped out well, don’t expect her to lead but she should be just behind and too strong late.
Recommended Price: $2.80
Confidence Level: 4/5
More Racing Tips
Silver Waves is superbly bred being by Caravaggio out of the top class race mare Aqua D’amore, and her trials suggest she should be very hard to beat on debut. With form around smart gallopers like South of Houston, she should be too good in a thin race. Expect her to sit on speed and take all the beating.
Recommended Price: $2.60
Confidence Level: 3.5/5
Swerving was disappointing first up but she did pull up lame so there were excuses. Blinkers and the tongue tie go on as well so it would be no surprise if she was to improve drastically. She has certainly been jumping out well enough to figure in an ordinary race like this one.
Recommended Price: $13/4.40
Confidence Level: 3/5
