Last week we managed to find Streetcar Valour as one of our plays at $8.60 so hope you might have had a small investment.

Against this week we go looking for some value runners and a recent participant in the Melbourne Spring comes home and finds a very winnable Listed race in the City Of Marion Stakes.

Nearest To Pin ran well for a long way in the G2 sprint on Derby day won by Deep Field but late on just wasn’t up to meeting that standard of horse.

He then tried to lead all the way in the Heffernan at Sandown and was run over when the 1300m seemed a bridge too far.

Well placed at 3kg over the limit and back to 1200m, he may lead or just sit right at the head of proceedings somewhere. The last time he ran in Adelaide was six runs back and he scored.

The five year old will handle any sort of conditions dished up so is very versatile.

Can then see value in the last in the Jarrod McLean gelding Smarty Mac.

After two mile runs, with one on a heavy track which he is not fond of, he now gets to the mile and a quarter.

He will get back and in the big field that may be tricky however there is pace on here and the very in-form Josh Cartwright may just weave some magic late.

Should be ready to be hitting good fitness levels now.
