News Corp form analyst Brad Waters looks over Friday's Echuca meeting.

BEST BET

APEROL BLITZ (Race 9 No.10 – $2.80)

Aperol Blitz was impressive when scoring first-up last time in and showed city-grade ability. She can return to racing a winner at Echuca.

NEXT BEST

OUTWITTED (Race 3 No.12 – $4.20)

Outwitted chased home the impressive filly Mollynickers at Moe last start. That form has stood up in town and blinkers should also help his chances.

FLYING ACE (Race 4 No.3 – $10)

Flying Ace raced on the speed and wasn't far away at his only autumn run but has had more time. He could give a good sight on debut for Robbie Laing.

VALUE BET

EAGLESAURUS (Race 5 No.5 – $10)

Eaglesaurus raced consistently in his summer campaign and has placed first-up. He's an each-way chance at odds.

THE JOCKEY

LINDA MEECH

Linda Meech has the support of big stables with her book of five rides at Echuca. FAVOURITE CHILD (Race 1 No.8 – $9). NOT A SINGLE GIRL (Race 3 No.14 – $14), TOUCH OF GRACIE (Race 4 No.10 – $5.50), BOOBOO BOOGIE (Race 8 No.11 – $3.70), MYSTERY ECLIPSE (Race 9 No.13 – $16).
