ROSEHILL
| Race 9 - RANVET HANDICAP - 1200m - 05:45pm (local time) | |
| Top Pick | Turbulent Jet (6) |
| Danger | Puzzling Wonder (14) |
| Trifecta | Got The Goss (4) |
| Multi | Mohave (8), Religify (5), Sure And Fast (2), Crooked Blaze (13) |
| Tip Comment: Backing Turbulent Jet each-way at double figure odds. Adept on all going and can reel off a fast final split which suits here with plenty of pace up front. Not seen since he flew home into sixth behind Winx here in the Theo Marks. Worthy gamble. Puzzling Wonder is lightly-raced. Shows potential, trialled strongly and offers value at each-way odds. Got The Goss won the Wagga Town Plate last prep. Gun draw here first-up with Black Shinn riding. Knockout. | |
| Race Comment: Should be solid pace and pressure which brings off pace runners right into the mix. Bullpit to lead from Just A Bullet and Religify. Crooked Blaze and Mohave right there keeping the pressure on. Dream Choice also adds some spice up front from a wide gate. | |
MOONEE VALLEY
| Race 8 - 1PRINT Handicap - 1500m - 05:25pm (local time) | |
| Top Pick | Marli Magic (5) |
| Danger | Sea Spray (7) |
| Trifecta | Bet You She Rocks (8) |
| Multi | Ample On Offa (3), Winston Drive (6), Melaleuca (9), Oh So Assertive (10) |
| Tip Comment: Looking for a big form spike from Marli Magic. She rarely fires in her first two runs back but third-up she's won two from three. Out to 1500m and in light with the claim, expect her to race much closer, possibly lead and be tough to catch. Worth an each-way punt at double figure odds. Sea Spray is her own worst enemy. If she happened to jump and race closer she could blow them away. Bet You She Rocks is never far away. She'll get a gun run and be strong through the line. | |
| Race Comment: Oh So Assertive will press forward from the tricky gate. Ample On Offa, Bet You She Rocks and Marli Magic kick up inside her but it only looks a good even speed at best. Keen on Marli Magic at the big odds with a saver on Sea Spray as her best is good enough to win easily. Go wide behind them in a typically tough mares' race. | |
DOOMBEN
| Race 5 - MATTHEWS BUILDERS 0MW THIS YEAR HANDICAP - 1350m - 02:57pm (local time) | |
| Top Pick | Our Boy Nicholas (3) |
| Each-way | Belannoro (7) |
| Value | Crooked Stick (9) |
| Multi | Abaddon (12), Any Day Will Do (11), Total Authority (13), Saint Hugo (18) |
| Tip Comment: Final barriers will be important here. Our Boy Nicholas is resuming after a couple of recent trials, he has a touch of class and whilst this is a bit short he could race well fresh, watch for support. Belannoro placed at his first Queensland start and has the speed to be prominent throughout. Crooked Stick is in top form, he is taking on City company but is very honest. Abaddon disappointed when resuming but has a good turn of foot and could be closing late. | |
| Race Comment: Belannoro can cross and lead as Watling, Saluter, Total Authority, Any Day Will Do and Bushy all try to cross from wide gates. Terms Of Trade, Spatha and Tangent should get good runs. Rosella, Abu Ben Adam and Saint Hugo risk getting caught wide. Quietly Confident and Saint Hugo will be midfield with Playtime. Our Boy Nicholas, Abaddon, Crooked Stick and Justthewayyouare will go back. | |
MORPHETTVILLE
| Race 7 - Daimler Trucks Adelaide Handicap - 1600m - 05:03pm (local time) | |
| Top Pick | Boys Getaround Him (5) |
| Each-way | Burnro (1) |
| Each-way | Zerprise Journey (3) |
| Multi | Rod's Opinion (4), Easy Drama (2), Master Of Money (6), Savanero (7) |
| Tip Comment: Boys Getaround Him went terrific last start when third against much tougher company. Again maps to get the ideal on-pace trail and expect him to give another big sight against these. Burnro has had little go his way this prep and that includes the start he won after overcoming trouble. Drops in class here but a slight query is the mile. Zerprise Journey was doing best work late last start. Reckon she is very close to peaking for this. | |
| Race Comment: Expecting Fortrus Dancer and Savanero to both go forward and create the pace here with Boys Getaround Him and Easy Drama both mapping to enjoy ideal trails. Found a great bet here in Boys Getaround Him with the each-way appealing enormously. | |
ASCOT
| Race 7 - TABTOUCH PROVINICAL STAYERS' FINAL - 2200m - 04:38pm (local time) | |
| Top Pick | Saxon Saxoff (3) |
| Danger | Planets Align (1) |
| Each-way | Shinta Mani (12) |
| Multi | Our Mate Al (2), Mystic Dust (6), Saxapak (11), Master Robson (9) |
| Tip Comment: With a solid tempo expected we go looking for a strong stayer. Saxon Saxoff got back to winning ways with a tenacious all-the-way win last start. A city Saturday winner over this distance when last in work, he's a chance of running this lot off their legs. Planets Align the obvious one unbeaten in three but has top weight and is yet to be tested in a pressure race. Unders. Stakes-placed mare Shinta Mani will run on strongly late. Include in everything. | |
| Race Comment: With plenty of pressure on the speed looks solid. Saxon Saxoff, The Conjurer, Pollonize, Saxapak and The Karnup Kid are all confirmed leaders and if one comes up for a breather another will take over to ensure the tempo is strong. Planets Align, Our Mate Al, Mystic Dust and Shinta Mani get nice sucks along midfield or a shade worse. The others may find themselves a long way off the top. Have a good crack at Saxon Saxoff each-way. He will give you a great sight. | |
