Monday’s best bet comes from the very much in-form Patrick Payne stable.
Best Bet
Castillian is having his first start for new trainer Patrick Payne and given the form the stable is in, it can only be a good thing. Payne has given him a couple of trials since and he has looked sharp in both. Happy to go with the race experience edge over first starter Georgy The Great.
Recommended Price: $2.50
Confidence Level: 4/5

Iff Elle has caught the eye at both of her jumpouts, hitting the line very strongly in both under no pressure. Suspect she has a decent engine, and know for a fact that she is in the rights, coming from the Maher/Eustace stable. Happy to take the gamble there is something under the bonnet.
Recommended Price: $4.50
Confidence Level: 3.5/5
Bob’s Relish is having her first start for new trainer Jim Lake and she looked in good form winning a trial recently at Tatura. Admittedly she was ridden out solidly but she put a big margin on them late and the time was decent. In a thin race, the Redente mare can go close at nice odds.
Recommended Price: $9.00/3.00
Confidence Level: 3/5
It’s always worth taking note when Michael O’Leary brings one over the border and the canny horseman has a good chance here with Four Outlaws. The gelding hit the line well first up at his home track, Mount Gambier, and should be able to sit closer into the run getting out to a mile.
Recommended Price: $4.50
Confidence Level: 3.5/5
