After going 2 for 2 in last week's best bets with Evaporate ($2.70) and Angel Capital ($6) both saluting, I am looking to extend the winning streak to 7 consecutive weeks with these selections.
This betting program poses it's fair share of challenges, but there’s plenty of value on offer with some strong winning chances.
The focus this week is on value, with one standout selection and another runner offering a solid price amongst by two best bets. Give them strength!

Flemington Race 3 #4 Bold Bastille $3.40
This looks like a two-horse race between this Brazen Beau filly and the Snowden trained ‘Drifting’.
These two have clashed before at Flemington over 1000m, which resulted in ‘Bold Bastille’ saluting by 0.8 of a length.
This filly now also gets a 3kg swing in her favour from that run so unless ‘Drifting’ has improved significantly since, it should be the same result.
I thought she was quite brave first-up against the older horses at Moonee Valley, when running 4th behind subsequent Group 1 winner ‘Mornington Glory’.
She was wide without cover on pace in that event and vulnerable as a result, but she did a great job in sticking on to finish 4th.
Mark Zahra will take her to the lead alongside ‘Drifting’ and she can prove to be too strong late.
Flemington Race 6 #2 Bandersnatch $14.00
This is as good of a chance to secure his 11th career win as he will get.
I loved his first-up run in the Listed Regal Roller, where he finished 4th, 1.8-lengths off ‘Arkansaw Kid’.
He contested the Group 1 Memsie Stakes last start, running 6th and finishing alongside superstar ‘Pride Of Jenni’.
He now comes back to Listed grade and gets down to a very manageable weight of 58kg.
He has historically done his best when third-up (11:3-4-0) and while he has the wide draw to contend with, he can get across into a forward position thanks to the minimal tempo expected.
Think he goes very close to winning this at big odds.
