BEST BET: LITTLE BIT CHAI (Race 1, No. 5) Showed speed to lead and was never headed at Balaklava first-up from a break when a 1.7 length winner. Draws to lead, the soft conditions suit and should give them plenty to chase.
EACH-WAY: FIRST DIVISION (Race 8, No. 7) Victorian who looks ready to peak third-up here. Was $4 into $3.10 and on speed first-up at Bendigo behind Material Dreams, then was beaten for early pace and they didn’t stop running at Dunkeld when 7.5 lengths 4th behind It’s Kind Of Magic. Gets back on soft ground and draws a gate to give this a big shake.
