Best Bet

4. Miraval Rose

Sandown R9 (4.55pm)

Bet Now

BET NOW

Miraval Rose has struck a rich vein of form this time in and can make it back to back wins in the Group 3 Geoffrey Bellmaine. She relished the step up to 1400m last time and stays at that trip with the benefit of a trial between runs. Draws to get every favour from barrier two.

Recommended Price: $4.00
Confidence Level: 4/5

1. Le Don De Vie

Sandown R2 (12.45pm)

BET NOW

Le Don De Vie has been out of the winners stall for some time but he gets the chance to go forward in this field and potentially control the tempo. If he can do that, in this small field of six it will go a long way to winning. Not many of these have tactical speed. Last start was a much improved run.

Recommended Price: $5.50
Confidence Level: 3/5

7. Matron Bullwinkel

Sandown R3 (1.20pm)

Bet Now

BET NOW

Matron Bullwinkel put the writing on the wall with a fast finishing fourth here last week and she steps up to the 2400m for the first time since joining the Mitchell Leek stable in this race. The extra trip looks ideal and with a genuine tempo likely, she looks nicely placed on the back up.

Recommended Price: $4.60
Confidence Level: 3.5/5

3. Legacy Rose

Kyneton R7 (4.31pm)

Bet Now

BET NOW

Legacy Rose looks a very worthy favourite for this year’s Woodend Cup. The mare comes off a third placing in the Camperdown Cup which was a stronger event than this despite the small field. Getting out to 1850m should suit and she draws ideally in barrier two, all the more important given the short run to the first turn.

Recommended Price: $2.80
Confidence Level: 4/5

11. Name Dropper

Sandown R10 (5.35pm)

BET NOW

Name Dropper was a terrific winner first up at Flemington and gets his chance to go on with it here. From barrier one Dean Yendall can push up and lead and should be able to get away with a couple of easy sectionals mid race. Expect he will take a lot of catching from there.

Recommended Price: $3.50
Confidence Level: 4/5
