The Valley
Dead/Rail out 2m.



r1 Bit of a dart job, but with the rail out the favorite Down Under Boy will need luck in the running from the poor barrier. I like the mid-pacer Goondi. Back to the right class and will have e/w odds.

r2 McFly has the right alley for a back-marker and the pace will be on in this to suit. I also like the classy Tango Amigo which has won at the track and has a 2 for 2 first up record.

r3 Snappy Tom goes well here and was 2.8L from Here De Angels last start, so it's good form for this lower class race.

r4/1,2,3,4,10 could all win this, but I'll go Gladwell because it won it's only start here, will have reasonable odds and is as good as any.

r5 Typhoon Zed and Kaphero will put the pace on and I'll throw in the back-marker with odds, Corporal Nediym from b12 for a Quin. and a cheap Tri.

r6 Haradasun with Beadman [who can used the whip well with with his left hand] is an ideal combo here and is my pick.

r7 Pass on this one [odds will be unders]. r8 Evilweb. r9 Sirmione or Soulacroix

Good luck everyone!
