Racing expert Adam Curkpatrick from The Race Club is all over an impressive 4YO mare to salute in the Darren Gauci at Sandown on Saturday.
The Tom Dabernig mare boasts an impressive first-up record and is going for a third straight first-up win.
Sandown
Best Bet
Race 3, 1000m
Miss Balvenie ($4.00, $1.75)
Miss Balvenie has jumped out sharply on two occasions leading in, running good time in the latest of those, having everything shrugged up to chase.
She is 2/2 first-up, with her last first-up figure at Sandown well and truly enough for this.
She is clearly the horse they all have to beat, with the Maher Eustace pair the two dangers.
Most wary of Senegalia ($5.50, $2.10), however she’ll want it on the better side of a Soft 6 to be at her best, scratched from Warrnambool in the muck in preference of this.
Tip: Win
Miss Balvenie, filly by Vanbrugh ex Sheiswhatsheis wins impressively for Tom Dabernig Stable and ridden by Blakie Mcdougal. The filly was bred by Shannon Taylor. Congratulations to all pic.twitter.com/ISPQ4Yw00y

Value Bet
Race 6, 1800m
Do It La ($12.00, $3.70)
Do It La ($12.00, $3.70) comes through the Mornington Guineas meet, which a host of these contested in.
They’ve run much the same time, albeit in different fashion.
Do It La tracked a good tempo and clearly boxed on best of those up top.
Big weight drop and I’m comfortable to 1800m off that.
I’m not sure Dashing ($3.30) was overly favoured by racking and stacking, however has done his dash with me this prep.
Grey Northern ($19.00) was the good closer out of that race and is another I believe improves at odds.
Do It La the value today.
Tip: Win
