Murray Bridge Race 3 (2.02pm)
5 Arkham Knight ($15)
Fascinating that Todd Pannell was on the favourite when he won last start and has jumped off to ride this one fresh. Won two of six first-up with two places. Missed a drum just once at the trip.

Randwick Race 8 (3.35pm)
4 Nimalee ($13)
Matthew Smith galloper who has an excellent fresh record with four finishes in the quinella in five first-up runs. Notable too that the synthetic hoof filler comes off, a positive sign that her feet are finally right.

Doomben Race 8 (3.47pm)
8 Garibaldi ($4.40)
Tony Gollan veteran who has his hoof on the till. Placed in listed grade fresh and has a great record at the track and the trip. Has nothing on his back so will be unleashed late down the outside.

Belmont Race 8 (4.19pm)
5 Blazing Away ($17)
Sneaky good run fresh and has never missed a place in two second-up runs. Gets The Pontiff in the saddle. Big odds.

Flemington Race 9 (5.05pm)
9 Chain Of Lightning ($4.40)
Unbeaten Peter Moody galloper. Won first two starts in northern NSW before transferring to the Moody yard and winning at his local debut. Led all the way to win by 2L. Maps really well.
