Aussie Valentine (5/4), Togoville (9/2), Hasselnott (5/1), Georgian Bay (7/1), Waitaki (8/1), Fashaar (10/1), Zayriyan (20/1)
The solid and consistent AUSSIE VALENTINE can make it three from eight over C&D here with the eight-year-old not having to improve much on his last couple of starts to land a blow here. C&D winners Togoville and Hasslenott on stable debut can prove to be the biggest dangers with Georgian Bay worthy of consideration.
