Malkovich is short enough in betting but he does look a good thing. He goes to Grange after a hat-trick of second placings at stakes level, losing those races by a combined margin of only one-and-quarter lengths. Malkovich is a specialist 1000m sprinter, he’s drawn the rails, handles all track conditions and has James McDonald in the saddle. He ticks all the boxes for The Warra.
TRAVEST (Race 6, No.2 – $5.50)
The stars appear to have aligned for this talented but enigmatic galloper on Saturday. Drawn to race closer to the speed, he’s fitter and the edge off the track is in his favour.
Value bet: YAMAZAKI (Race 8, No. 16 – $34)
