Best Bet at Wodonga – Princess Nefertiti
The Ciaron Maher & David Eustace-trained Princess Nefertiti smashed her rivals in maiden company at Donald on August 16 and looks to be a mare going places. The lightly raced four-year-old mare managed to settle up on speed and put 4.5 lengths on her closest rival, with a further five lengths back to the third placed horse. It is unclear what she actually beat that day, but the clock backed up the visually pleasing win. From barrier one, we expect the plan to be simple for Michael Poy; hold the rail, dictate terms and kick off the home turn. With a second consecutive win on the country scene likely, Princess Neferiti could be heading to town at her subsequent start.

Next Best at Wodonga – Our Valley Star
The Peter Moody-trained Our Valley Star did plenty wrong when resuming on the Pakenham synthetic on August 15 but showed enough to suggest he was worth following next time. The three-year-old gelding continually over raced and simply didn’t settle over the 1100m when close to the speed. He did well to stick on to go down by just under two lengths when finishing second, so he arguably deserved to finish closer than what he did. From barrier seven, we expect Jake Duffy to have this son of Zoustar outside the leader once again. With the run under his belt and further race experience, Our Valley Star looks to have the most upside in a race like this and the $3.40 with online betting sites looks a perfect price.

Best Value at Wodonga – Onemorekimmie
Russell Osborne and apprentice Hannah Williams will be looking to build on Onemorekimmie’s recent form and bring up a deserved maiden win. The four-year-old mare had plenty of excuses when finishing fourth, beaten two-lengths at Echuca on August 13 where she was held up for a run at a crucial point. The Onemorenomore will look to settle in the second-half of the field under the 3kg claiming apprentice and armed with a decent enough turn of foot in race like this, Onemorekimmie will be launching down the centre of the track late and ultimately proving too hard to hold out.
