Hi guys, apart from a couple of races found this meeting pretty tough, but here goes.
R1 - Pirate queen should be hard to hold out, wide barrier shouldn't be a problem especially with Colless, has good form lines, hard to beat. Wasn't a bad first start by In Your Honour ran home well, Jakelli won well at Toowoomba can't leave it out and i thought Silent Power could run well at good odds. (2,10,1,9,4,6)
R2 - Moonlight Shadow won very well first up and is unbeaten second up, should get a nice sit behind them and storm home, wouldn't be taking anything too short though. Lasting Luck has good form ran well behind Coincidental at the Coast and Envelope might lead and be hard to run down. (3,2,5,4,1,6)
R3 - Milady Clang has been racing well of late, might lead or get the sit behind Classy Darcy who i have in for second, they look the only two that will race up front. Tackman might get the sit behind these two and if they cut each other up he should be the one getting over the top of them. (3,4,2,5,1,7)
R4 - Tough race this, majority of horses in this race like to race handy just behind the leader but couldn't find anything that will actually lead, so went with Cortigiana from the one alley to beat the consistent Instructed and if they go hard up front expect Super Stardom to hit the line well. (2,3,5,10,4,11)
R5 - Really like Decibeel in this, missed the kick last start behind Coincidental but still really hit the line harder then anything in the race, extra distance definitely suits. Picablu might get a soft lead and could prove hard to run down, while i give Double Portion a good chance at odds. (6,3,5,2,1,4)
R6 - Going for Kanetoshi Millions in this, super run in the MM Cup the other week, hoping Palmer can get him in midfield somewhere and kick him home. Overlook Step Right In's last start and go on his second to Hard To Catch good barrier should see him race near the lead, and thought Filibeg could run a nice race first up from the inside. (3-4-7-1-9-10)
R7 - Can't go past Shysu in this, meets Princess Margaret much better at the weights and the inside barrier a huge advantage especially seeing PM has barrier 12, in saying that PM's run behind Amex from the 16 gate was a superb effort but only carried 51 compared to today's 57.5. Given a nice run Love And Money could knock the top 2 off. (1,2,4,7,3,6)
R8 - Orrong finally gets its chance to notch up a well deserved win, gets in very well with the claim and good barrier, distance suits. Aim So High could run well, but is very hot and cold, and Fred's Boys from Tamworth won well in a Tamworth open first up and has decent second up form. (1,7,3,4,2,5)
Best - Pirate Queen, Decibeel, Shysu, Orrong.
Best at odds - Kanetoshi Millions and Envelope.
