Valiant Elegance | (Happy Valley Race 6 No.11)
This son of Salade was fantastic last start after almost two months off, winning in tremendous fashion by 1.8 lengths. What makes the win even better was the 59kg he carried in the race and he was still able to put them away with ease, thanks to the brilliant Hewitson/Whyte combination. He steps up to Class 3 now which means he drops to 52kg and the draw isn’t the work as he should still be able to sit in the front four. He is an attractive price and well worth a chance.
Current Price: $7.50 / $2.60
Best Each Way
Casa Kingdom | (Happy Valley Race 4 No.10)
Casa Kingdom is another I like who is stepping up in grade following a nice win. The son of Dundeel was also first-up when winning his Class 5 event by 0.8 of a length after coming from the second half of the field. Karis Teetan will take the reins here as he drops to 52kg and a favourable draw might see him settle a touch closer in the run. This isn’t a very deep Class 4, and I see him as a terrific chance at each-way odds.
Current Price: $13.00/$3.80

Key Comments There are 9 races on the Parks circuit. The track is rated good and the rail is +3 metres from the 1000m -to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet Easy Campese (Morphettville Race 3 No. 4) Easy Campese has been runner-up at his last 3 races and is ready to win. With the 2kg claim for Alana Livesay he will only carry 52.5 kg down from 59kg last start and hopefully that will make all the difference.

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The feature races include the Straight Six (race 7) and the Andrew Ramsden (race 8). The best bet looks well placed to bounce back and very hard to beat if finding its old form. Best Bet Niance (Flemington Race 3 No. 7) Had excuses last start when bungling the jump. Looks really hard to beat if finding its old form and there was so much to like about the wins prior. Looks way over the

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The best bet comes up in the second race and is a very progressive type that can continue on its winning spree. Best Bet Affluential (Werribee Race 2 No. 4) Has been on a winning spree and showing no signs of slowing down.
