Jackson Oldham (Betfair)
The Valley R2 No. 4 - Ceerseven (Rated at $3.90)
Ceerseven produced an outstanding performance first-up at Geelong vs a very obvious pattern, flashing light and can obviously improve off that however, with an apprentice jock on and a tricky map, appears too short.

James Lamb (Punters)
The Valley R8 No. 5 - Mornington Glory @ $2.30
The scratching of Flying On A Limb helps his cause but I still think Mornington Glory is under the odds coming back around a bend after doing all his recent racing down the Flemington straight. The flying Philosopher is perfectly suited to this circuit and should lead without any trouble from barrier three.

Linton Chataway (Betfair)
Randwick R7 No. 8 - Zou Tiger (rated at $8)
There looks to be very good speed in this race so I am happy to be against Zou Tiger coming out of a slowly run race. I expect he will race on speed and the pressure to be felt late as there will be others sprinting best at the end of the race.

Morphettville R6 No. 9 - Shooting For Stars
Only had one win - in a midweek Class 2 at Balaklava - in 10 starts since moving to SA. Think she's under the odds given she's up against some better-performed rivals.
