BEST BET

DELIGHTFUL JOURNEY (Race 7 No.3): Frontrunner that was only grabbed on the line over this course last time but should be harder to run down from barrier two on Thursday.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■

NEXT BEST

KAGEMUSHA (Race 1 No.5): The Danny O’Brien-trained three-year-old had little trouble saluting on debut. Should have no trouble measuring up on his way to harder races.

PORSHA CRYSTAL (Race 8 No.9): Outgunned in town two runs back but bounced back with a solid effort at Seymour. Can go one better despite an awkward draw at Moe.

VALUE BET

PER IVY (Race 5 No.13): Short course performer that was too strong at Warracknabeal second-up and could again measure up from an inside draw on Thursday.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■

LAY OF THE DAY

THE CARILLO (Race 5 No.2): Led until grabbed late at Warrnambool second-up but he could face more pressure up front this time.
