BEST BET – HOPFGARTEN (Gold Coast – Race 6 No. 1): The Rob Heathcote trained Hopfgarten has 10 wins to his name and resumed with an outstanding victory over 1200m at the Sunshine Coast. Drawn perfectly in gate two, gets up to 1400m second-up and deserves the topweight of 59kg. Provided Damian Browne finds clear running turning for home and the track is showing no bias, he should be too good. Currently $6
AUSTRALASIAN OAKS TIP – SILENT SEDITION (Morphettville – Race 6 No. 6): Winning form is good form heading into the Group I Australasian Oaks and Andrew Noblet’s filly Silent Edition has won three of her past four starts. A favourable draw, Craig Williams rides and she’s coming through the right form-line, taking out the Group III Auraria Stakes over 1800m here last start. Several of her main rivals have drawn poorly so they will need luck whereas our pick should enjoy the run of the race. Currently $5.50
