Fearless Raider (Race 3) has been supported at each way odds. His quote has been halved to a fixed price of $4.80 after a solid debut when placed at big odds at Ararat. Punters are expecting an improved performance with the benefit of experience.

Strykinglee (Race 5) has been heavily backed early, firming in almost a point to odds on favouritism at $1.75. He returned a solid rating when leading throughout for a big five-length win on debut and punters seem confident he can step up to the mark again today.

Victory Downs (Race 8) is challenging for favouritism after being backed into a quote of $4.40 early on. He is shooting for the hat-trick after wins at Penola and Morphetville Parks and although stepping up in benchmark grade today the money says he can continue the winning run.
