MV R4 - Going with Behold on the short back up. He has backed up twice previously (4 and 5 days) and won both times. Sylvan Court has been in good form but that has been racing against her own sex. Williams is on Johnny Knoxville who won well two starts back and goes well at the Valley. Behold beat JK easily last start and meets him 2kg better. $4.00

MV R5 - Just Curious was very impressive in her last start win. She has raced on a 7 day back up once prior which was an unlucky second to Manna Miss. Perfect Feeling is working towards a win and the mile is her pet distance. $3.50

Benalla

R3 - Diamond Jed ran 1.6L third to Kariba Kariba and 1.8L second to Roughnut last prep. Good effort first up when he stuck on well to finish 0.7L third. Fitness seemed to give out late. $4

R7 - Go My Girl went well on debut finishing a close second over 1450m on a slow track. By Archway so wet track should be fine. Well drawn. $4

R8 - Bismuth has had two goes at the mile for an unlucky (wide the trip) 4.2L fourth to the heavily backed The Russeler (won by about 3L) last start and a 2.4L fourth to Arclase, All Ready Got It and Prominent!! Any one of those would be long odds on in this. Well drawn and did run 1.8L second to Miss Maren on a slow track so wet track no concern. $2.50

Best: Bismuth
