(4) DANERETTE is my top selection. 2 starts this track for 2 wins. 2 starts this distance for 2 seconds. Should break bridesmaid status (distance) today.

Good effort by (1) GAJU CHIEF last start going down narrowly at Sandown over 2100. 3kg claim brings him well into this.

(8) OUR BAHARE been racing well of late. 2 starts back narrowly beaten at Sandown over 1800.

4YO gelding (6) JUKEBOX JOHNNY capped off his last campaign with a 2nd (2040) and 1st (2400) in the city. All the better for his first-up run over 1600 at Sandown late Nov.

We have an action packed 9 race card for you today with the C.B. Cox Stakes and the listed Starstruck Classic being the main features.

Today is the final lead-up for many Perth Cup bound horses. The field of the C.B. Cox Stakes usually produces the next Perth Cup winner.

I have not read any form guide for this, so today is the Trifecta & Quartet Day! I will give you my top selections for each trifecta and quartet race, my first selection in each race will be the horse I think has the most chances to win.

If any of my selections win in each race then I am happy. Put them in your trifectas and quartets and let's see how we go.

..and the FISH continues on his winning way!

Foxaround would be bolted in had its saddle didnt shift.

Olitate
 

Not tipping Olitate today AdrianLee?

Good move! ;)

I don't understand why they keep Olitate at minimum distances for, surely they could put it in a 1400m to 1600m race. I think it'll be a better ho*** over more ground. Stay away from Olitate until they do this or it shows better form.

SIR CHALMERS
 

Could turn out a good horse!! Strong win in the last at Ascot today. First-up following a 12 months layoff! Was a maiden with just 3 starts previously. Prior to spelling was unplaced in the listed Raconteur Stakes 22 Dec 2004!!
