Midweek racing in Melbourne is at Sandown and Adam Curkpatrick from The Race Club likes a 3YO from the Godolphin stable to take advantage of an expected strong tempo.
Best Bet
Sandown (Wednesday)
Race 5, 1000m
Pereille ($3.60, $1.55)
Hard to miss Pereille ($3.60, $1.55) at the trials post gelding and he did the punters right by saluting.
He’s always shown promise and this is a weak enough field for him to now progress.
Most would niggle the step back in trip, however the figures support that more than not and coupled with the likely solid tempo, I believe he is well placed
Tip: Win
The short-priced Pereille gets the win on the board at start #7! pic.twitter.com/2RJKIrYJ3I

Value Best
Race 4, 1000m
Lolly Yeats ($11.00, $3.00)
Looks quite forward off his lead in work and is the clear figure horse in this.
He is only off a short break, so I’d expect a good base and his late strength should be telling here from a soft draw.
I have him as favourite in an open field, and with that, I’m happy to make him the value play today.
Tip: Win
LOLLY YEATS is off the mark in Australia! This beautiful mare kicked away for a nice win at Kembla Grange today. We purchased her privately with @ClarkeBstock and @mcstayagent last year following her maiden win at Dundalk 🇮🇪🆠Nicely done by Jackson Searle and @ANeashamRacing pic.twitter.com/8ewQd6mXeV
