Hey all,

Good days racing tomorrow, just hope that the fields don't get too small from scratchings...

Race 1 - Thought Wolfman had enough going for him to win tomorrow. Good 1600m horse, and the last 2 runs have been good enough to see him very competitive here. King Latarmiss finished off really well last time, speed is a worry here, so i've only got him 2nd. Aidan James boxed on well last time and can do the same here with no speed on.

Race 2 - Going for Hawkes to get the first 2 winners. I thought Mantle could get away with this race, from the reasonable alley. Was a good win last time, but the run 2 back behind Duke Sam was better. If he repeats that run, he's in this up to his ears. Umaprince usually gets better with a few runs, but will lead here and can run really good races around this course. Willy Leica is a strange acceptor here, after running over 1600m last time, but he's got enough talent to be able to figure here.

Race 3 - Babinda Half should win if he repeats the last run. It took a great run from Starlactic to gun him down, and Starlactic has since franked the form with a huge run behind Royal Hero. Lang Park has plenty of ability and can get home hard if Babinda Half falters in the last few metres. Thought that was a good quinella. Mighty Crossing excels at this track and can definately place if the breaks go his way.

Race 4 - Czarboy can figure here, if he gets in from the alley. Was something beaten 2 back, but didn't quite finish it off for some reason last time. I'm banking on that run being an aberation, so i think he can go close here. Seven crownies is back to a suitable journey here and is a big show. The alley is a worry, although Colless is great. Pay Me will be running on as usual, but may run out of ground on the short Doomben straight.

Race 5 - Coincidental is in great form, and i see no reason to jump off. The last 2 wins in particular have been great, and if she repeats either of them, she'll take some holding out. Panzer is as honest as they come and won't be far off. I'd be surprised if he wasn't in the top 2. Tornado Alley never runs his best at Doomben, but he can lead easily here and might prove tough to catch.

Race 6 - Fashions Afield looks better than them, but i'll be betting against her (i like my big priced gallopers ). Street Smart can improve here after the strong win last time. She has always been around the mark in good quality races, and i think she'll be thereabouts again tomorrow. La Montagna almost got Street Smart last time, but for a bad alley, and with the extra journey tomorrow, she also looks a good bet. Upilio has had 2 runs back, and hasn't had much go his way...but tomorrow he can definately improve at long odds.

Race 7 - Don't know. Maybe Barlagarney, Special Offer and Mel. That is just a guess though. I'm interested in this race for the Millions, its not a betting race - too many unknowns for mine.

Race 8 - Great race to finish on. General Patton can figure if he gets in (huge doubt with this horse, last 4 starts he has been wide the trip). Has got undeniable talent on his day, and with the likely speed here, he can go really close. Teletrader will find this too short most likely, but i really like him as a horse, loved his last run and there is only improvement in him. Son Of Dane is back in grade from his Melbourne assignements and won't be far off them. Tough race, but you should get a nice price for your fancy.

Good days racing, with my best being Wolfman, Babinda Half and Coincidental. Possibly a good rough chance to Special Offer whose last run was too bad to be true.

Best of luck all,

Sven
