R1 – No 5 Heir Apparent E/W. Barrier is trash but it’s last run was great behind a very smart one. Wants every bit of 1200, Nash will need to give him a great ride but your getting great odds to find out. Warmth the obvious threat.

R2 – No 1 Reloaded – 1800m on a good deck with a solid tempo the key. Admit most of his recent form is poor but in harder races than this. Wheelhouse the danger. Pretty thin race. 

R3 – A poor version of the subzero. No 1 Parry Sound finds a suitable race. Not much else to say. 

R4 – No 3 Kiku is on the up. Did everything but win last start, huge speed in front and the wider barrier is a positive. Tough race, respecting Krone and Snapdanger.

R5 – Great race with heaps of different form lines. The obvious play is No 14 Isotope and Gollan seems very confident with her chances. Give consideration to No 2 Baller (ready to win) No 7 Fituese (Flies fresh and up to this) and to a lesser E/W extent 12 Dreamreacher (in for a big prep)

R6 – No 3 Beau Rossa is the wrong odds, genuine group 1 horse for $10…. We take that with confidence. Eleven Eleven seems to grow a leg here at this venue, but firmly with Beau Rossa.

R7 – No 9 Coolangatta has her biggest test but this is the target race for her.  Not getting great odds but she looks the winner. Miss Hellfire and Russian Conquest if your chasing some odds.

R8 – No 3 King of Sparta is the one here in an awesome and wide version of the race. 1400m with 56Kg is his go, very confident. 1st up run was good enough. 

R9 – She let us down last time but No 4 Miami Fleiss on the minimum back to her preferred good track is what I want to be on. Wisdom of Water is good value here and looks to fill the Quinella. 

Best Bet – R6 No 3 Beau Rossa
Next Best – R8 No 3 King of Sparta
Best Value – R1 No 5 Heir Apparent
