LAY OF THE WEEK
ACCOUNTABILITY (Randwick Race 4, No. 8)Flemington Race 7 The Phillip Stokes-trained Defiant Dancer heads the market at $3.30 after opening $4.80. He is chasing a fourth straight win after recording back-to-back victories at Morphettville before winning at Pakenham on the stand-alone raceday. The Danny O’Brien-trained Can’t Be Done has firmed from $7 into $5.50 and with a good third up record should again be in the finish. Former Kiwi Riding The Wave has been soft in betting drifting from $4.80 out to $7. She caught the eye running fourth at Bendigo at her Australian debut and stripped fitter to salute at Ballarat last start on their stand-alone meeting. She looks well suited stepping up to 1200m where she has had four starts for two wins and two placings.
SUGGESTED BET: DEFIANT DANCER THE WIN

Doomben Race 8 Star filly Isotope is odds-on at $1.80 to carry on her winning ways. The Tony Gollan-trained filly resumed from a spell with a dominant win at Doomben and has now won three of her six career starts. She looks well placed to win again and carry on towards the Magic Millions. Away Game appears again for the first time since a herculean two year-old preparation that saw her have eight starts for four wins including victories in the Magic Millions Classic and the Group 2 Percy Sykes. She must be respected but will be worth sticking with throughout the campaign irrespective of the result on Saturday.
SUGGESTED BET: ISOTOPE THE WIN

Randwick Race 7 There has been strong early support for the Matthew Smith-trained Lashes, who has firmed from $4.60 into $4. One punter parted with $2000 the win at $4.60 and $3000 the place at $1.85 on the mare registering her fifth career victory. She resumes from a spell and has a good first-up record with a win and three placings from five previous attempts. Sally’s Day has also attracted support firming from $5.50 into $4.20 Sally’s Day lost no admirers resuming from a spell with another placing behind Lillemor, she has been a model of consistency but if there is a slight knock on her she has won just twice from 11 starts. Early punters are shying away from Human Nature who has been pushed from $5.50 out to $7. There has been support at big odds for Our Bellagio Miss who has firmed from $21 into $15. The speedy mare should be ready to improve third up from a spell and can give a sight at odds.
SUGGESTED BET: LASHES EACH-WAY
