THOROUGHBREDS

Murwillumbah: Race 3; #5 Vivika Down Arrow

Vivika deserves to be the favourite of this race. But looks a crazy price for a runner untested in heavy conditions. She won her maiden 2 starts back before a solid run in a stronger race. But in what looks a high pressure race, the thought of the heavy track perhaps brings her back to the pack. If she doesn't appreciate the wet track she could be vulnerable and there isn't much to risk here at her price.

Bendigo: Race 8; #8 Racetothebottom Down Arrow

Racetothebottom is a big striding horse, so 1600m is sure to suit but I thought gate one and the likelihood of a slowly run race would both be negatives against him.
