Rail Position: +10.5 Mtrs Entire Course
Track Condition: Good 4
Best Bets:
R6 Number 1 PRIORITISE WIN
R9 Number 8 I AM IMPINGE
Race 1
9 KEEP YOUR ROSES returned from a spell with a nice effort when running second on a soft track. She should take improvement from the run, and back on top of the ground here, she will be hardest to beat. 5 BOSCABELLA wasn’t far away in better company than this last preparation, and has trialed well for this.
Numbers: 9 – 5 – 2 – 1
Bet: WIN 9 KEEP YOUR ROSES
Race 2
Looks a maiden lacking depth, hence the support here for first starter 7 WALLANDER. He will have to overcome the wide gate, but has trialed well and has found a winnable race first up. 4 MR DUMONT & 5 MASTER NAGIC AL look the only dangers, and they should at least fill the top 2 placing’s between them.
Numbers: 7 – 5 – 4 – 15
Bet: BOX EXACTA 4,5,7
Race 3
2 CRUZE wasn’t disgraced when resuming, running 4th to PIERATA. He should get a nice run just behind the speed and looks hardest to beat. 1 ZUKAZ looks the likely leader, and he will certainly give a sight.
Numbers: 2 – 1 – 9 – 8
Bet: WIN 2 CRUZE
Race 4
2 EXPERTEA looks ready to produce a winning effort. She was brave in Saturday class last start, and she can race on the speed here and win. 5 IOWA & 1 BRICKHALL both coming off maiden wins, and can run well here.
Numbers: 2 – 1 – 5 – 4
Bet: WIN 2 EXPERTEA
Race 5
Speed here with 2 ZENDAYE & 4 JOMARS ELEMENT rolling forward, if the apprentice jocks on those 2 can keep there heads and not over do the speed, they can fight it out. 4 JOMARS ELEMENT is racing really well this preparation, and im confident it can sit outsider the leader and win here.
Numbers: 4 – 2 – 7 – 9
Bet: WIN 4 JOMARS ELEMENT
Race 6
1 PRIORITSE looks to be better than the opposition engaged today, he should just lead and win. He wanted to hang in when resuming, but with the gear changes and the rail inside him to guide him around, he can jump on the speed and spank these. 7 ROCKY SUPREME is going really well, and can run second.
Numbers: 1 – 7 – 6 – 2
Bet: WIN 1 PRIORITISE
Race 7
2 BRONZED VENOM should be able to off set the wide gate by being positive early, and can finds a spot 1 off the fence forward of midfield. He will be rock hard fit coming off 2000m runs, so can use that to his advantage here and be too strong.
Numbers: 2 – 9 – 6 – 5
Bet: WIN 2 BRONZED VENOM
Race 8
1 LIPSYNC & 2 CLOCKWORK look to race handy here, 6 FELL FROM HEAVEN also vying for a spot on speed. 10 BOILING is the one that maps to get the last crack at them late, but she does turn up here off a run at Toowoomba on Saturday night. She won on the quick back up 2 back, and can win again here. 8 SAILOR JERRY was first past the post last start at Doomben, but lost the race on protest. Will get a nice run here and is a EW chance.
Numbers: 8 – 10 – 1 – 2
Bet: EW 8 SAILOR JERRY
Race 9
Absolute D-Day, last chance, now or never, and every other analogy about giving 8 I AM PINGE one more go. He has been a costly proposition for punters, but he is a very talented horse, and he should just beat these if he brings his best.
Numbers: 8 – 10 – 4 – 1
Bet: WIN 8 I AM IMPINGE
