Mitch Lewis (Betfair)
Wyong R7 No. 1 - Oryx (rated at $6)
ORYX has come up as the race fave after scratchings. Resuming today and has a good 1st up record, but I'm against him in these conditions. Drawn wide which comes in now with those scratchings but is also going to have to carry a heavy weight on a heavy track 1st up. In this conditions he is the one I am happy to risk

Linton Chataway (Betfair)
Warrnambool R8 No. 7 - Chief Altony (rated at $9)
Has not won for some time and I am doubtful his racing pattern will be helpful here as he generally settles back in the run. Gets blinkers again so I am sure they intend to try and settle closer but coming into this race 40 days since last start also looks challenging against others that have shown stronger recent form.
