Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The best bet comes up in the first and will appreciate a large drop in class and a kind draw. Best Bet Spiritchaser (Ballina Race 1 No. 2) Looks superbly placed dropping grade and coming up with a kind draw and the senior jockey on board. Should be able to kick the day off on a high note.

Key Comments The best bet comes up in the Highway and has been honest recently. Can get the job done at huge odds from the good draw with the young apprentice aboard. The feature race is the January Cup (race 7). Best Bet Swift Charm (Rosehill Race 2 No. 2) Likeable last start second and has been in Highway company a few times in the past. Not hopeless against these and has come up huge odds with the good draw and light weight.

Key Comments Quality day of racing with a 10 race card. The best bet is looking for four straight and will be a popular elect with punters. Best Bet Samangu (Flemington Race 4 No. 5) In flying form and looking for four straight. Not often are runners in this situation and finds a suitable field. Loved the finale last start and despite the drift still looks the clear one to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
