The Busuttin & Young stable are going all-in at Sandown on Saturday with some genuine chances chasing glory on a big day of racing in Melbourne.
For the stable’s bet bet, champion jockey Damien Oliver will steer a 4YO star going second-up.
Best Bet
Sandown (Saturday)
Race 8, 1600m
Brayden Star ($4.40, $1.85)
Definitely our stable best bet for the weekend is Brayden Star ($4.40).
Second-up, getting over a 1600m trip, good draw, 55kg on his back, better race fitness.
Damien Oliver ticks a lot of boxes, he’s our bet for the weekend, I think he can win.
Tip: Win
"We've got a really exciting horse going forward."

Best Value
Sandown
Race 5, 1600m
Simeon ($8.50, $2.80)
Led all the way down the straight at Flemington there the other day and just got caught on the line.
He’s a good solid horse that’s putting together a nice little record, he’s running well every time and he will run very well.
Tip: Win
He's still learning his craft, but it was so good to see Simeon put up a dominant performance to break his maiden at only his second time of asking. A NZB Ready to Run purchase with @busuttin. A big thanks to @daniel_moor who has done such a great job with him. pic.twitter.com/Y59Pd7sVz5

Top Bet
Sandown
Race 7, 1400m
He’s Our Bonneval ($4.60, $1.90), Pascero ($8.50, $2.80)
Both have been thereabouts without having too much luck.
Bonneval ($4.60) blinkers goes on for the first time, Damien Oliver on board will be very hard to beat.
Pascero ($8.50) has drawn a gate which will enable him to put them south in the race a bit more.
They both come down with a bit of weight relief, they both drop down 3kgs off their last run and can’t split them.
Perhaps He’s Our Bonneval just with the shades on first time.
Tip: Win
"He's a really nice horse, this bloke. I think you'll see a lot of him during spring time."@craig_newitt is a big fan of He's Our Bonneval! 🥰 pic.twitter.com/GxSBIAgeQz
