Hollywoodbets-sponsored Trainer Peter Muscutt sends out Nellie Melba in Race 1 and she should give punters a good start to the day.

She produced an eye-catching debut effort over 1000m on this course. She should have won that day as she hung in the closing stages.

It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth has come out and won since. She would have come on from the run and will love the extra furlong on offer.

With the natural improvement that is expected, she should be the horse to beat.

Free Will from the Gary Rich stable represents decent each way value in Race 5. She stayed on nicely when fourth over 1750m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time.

She won her maiden over this course and distance, three runs ago.

The daughter of Master Of My Fate jumps from a handy draw of five and can return to winning ways.

Jockeys Craig Zackey and Gavin Lerena will not be riding today.
