RANDWICK
| Race 7 - TATTERSALLS CLUB TRAMWAY STAKES - 1400m - 04:25pm (local time) | |
| Top Pick | Messene (4) |
| Each-way | Flamingo Star (7) |
| Roughie | Strawberry Boy (10) |
| Multi | Sweynesse (8), First Seal (9), Ecuador (14), It's Somewhat (11) |
| Tip Comment: Open race. Messene each-way looks the safest way to play it. Has the fitness edge with two runs back including his latest third behind Royal Descent and Pornichet. That form reads strongest and we'll know by this stage of the day just how strong it is. Gets any on-pace favours too. Flamingo Star is untapped. Showed potential last time in and resumes off a gun draw for Hugh Bowman. Knockout. Strawberry Boy will lead them for a long way. Value runner. Must include. | |
| Race Comment: Pace looks even but not furious. Strawberry Boy can dictate terms from Ecuador and Messene. Hooked is the one that has drawn wide and could roll forward if they desire. But that's about it up front so not expecting too much pressure. Advantage on-pacers. First Seal is a query from the gate. | |
MOONEE VALLEY
| Race 6 - THE CUP CLUB STAKES - 1200m - 03:25pm (local time) | |
| Top Pick | Galaxy Pegasus (10) |
| Each-way | Rose Of Choice (7) |
| Trifecta | Fell Swoop (9) |
| Multi | Gregers (2), Fast 'N' Rocking (1), Griante (3), Chivalry (8) |
| Tip Comment: Having a good each-way bet on Galaxy Pegasus. He's only lightly raced so he's open to a stack of improvement and he did only just miss at Group III level first-up last prep. He'll box seat from the inside gate and be tough to beat. Rose Of Choice always fires fresh and the stable are on fire. She'll be charging home. Fell Swoop has to be included but this is a step up from his recent starts at his first go this direction. | |
| Race Comment: Griante, Just Magical and Just For Starters all press forward from wide gates. Gregers won't be far away looking to slot in and there's a few from good gates that will be holding their spots for a good strong speed. Keen on Galaxy Pegasus, build your exotics around him including Fast Cash. A few need some luck in running from wide gates. | |
DOOMBEN
| Race 8 - BARRY NILSSON LAWYERS 3YO HANDICAP - 1350m - 04:37pm (local time) | |
| Top Pick | Most Important (1) |
| Quinella | My Girl Hayley (6) |
| Each-way | Mr Epic (5) |
| Multi | Maybe Even You (8), Mishani Honcho (2) |
| Tip Comment: The most open race of the day and Tony Gollan has the top chances. He scratched Most Important last week and with a decent gate here he should be prominent throughout, the stable mate My Girl Hayley has speed and is the danger. Mr Epic gets blinkers and drops back in trip, this may suit. Maybe Even You shows some promise and Man Of His Word, who is resuming, showed ability last preparation, watch for support. | |
| Race Comment: My Girl Hayley will lead with the stablemate Most Important with Stitchen Time and Maybe Even You handy. Man Of His Word should get a good run with Fine Fergus and Too Good To Refuse. Craiglea Wandoo and Agree To will seek cover midfield with Mr Epic and Vaulting Ambition. Mishani Honcho, Counter Meal and Saga Of The Storm will go back. | |
MORPHETTVILLE
| Race 8 - DRINK DRIVING? GROW UP HANDICAP - 1400m - 04:58pm (local time) | |
| Top Pick | Bomber Brown (11) |
| Danger | Mermaid Run (2) |
| Value | A Saucy Snitzel (1) |
| Multi | Burgundy Blast (8), Mullinger Lane (10), Red Begonia (15), Lead The Witness (4) |
| Tip Comment: Bomber Brown was far from disgraced on local debut after being made to work early with big weight. Drawn ideally and drops 3kg. Mermaid Run rarely far away in her races and again maps ideally to enjoy the run of the race. Claim sees her as hard to hold out here. A Saucy Snitzel is flying after scoring game win in a slightly tougher race last start after working hard early. Capable of chalking up a hat-trick here. | |
| Race Comment: Mullinger Lane, Bomber Brown, A Saucy Snitzel, Svetski and Mermaid Run all looking to drive forward here at a more than genuine tempo. Siding with the Ex-Sydney galloper in Bomber Brown. He presents as excellent each-way value. | |
BELMONT
| Race 7 - SAINTLY 96 ROGAN JOSH 99 VIEWED 08 HANDICAP - 1400m - 04:20pm (local time) | |
| Top Pick | Reflectance (1) |
| Danger | Coming Back (4) |
| Each-way | Military Ruler (9) |
| Multi | Galaxy Son (11), Top Show (5), Paris Of Troy (6), Moonsearch (7) |
| Tip Comment: At big odds we are speculating each-way on Reflectance. He did little first-up however he is better than that and will appreciate the rise to this distance. Ran second to superstar Black Heart Bart when last in work. Coming Back ran a smart final 200m section to win a similar race last weekend. Rates highly again. Military Ruler, Top Show and Galaxy Son also have claims in a competitive race. | |
| Race Comment: Paris Of Troy ensures a solid tempo as he bowls along up front. Moonsearch and Military Ruler do the chasing. Coming Back, Top Show and Come Flirt With Me settle midfield as the others drift back. With that good speed up front and the rise to this distance Reflectance might improve sharply. Worth thought at odds. | |
