Brisbane

Race 1, I've settled on Go Sequalo , he finished off real nice last start and drops weight , likes the track and distance and a good jock on board and can also run the time neccesary to win this. There looks to be a nice tempo to suit and he should be midfield with some cover. Forestreno is a major query ,,he can fly this horse but hes been off the scene for awhile,,he has trialled nicely but i'm willing to risk him ,,i'm also thinking the inside barrier isnt that great for him as he gets a mile back in the big field..Xaardante was a good run last start but he'll have to work initially and this might take its toll. Telelsecret is in good form and did well to stick on last start and down the bottom Mr Doyle can run a cheeky race,,looked good finishing off last start and a good one for the multis..Cocktail Supreme is going good but the weight might sort him out,,
Go Sequalo over Xaardante..the rest boxed for the exotics..

Race 2 , Cat D"antibes looks a special,,hes improving and looks a horse that can go places..I took the 3.30 and i'm happy with that..Rockwood and Jealous Guy the next best..

RAace 3, ugly race this,,,cant bring myself to back Mitanni and Majorca isnt a weight carrier,,,dont like it..

Race 4 , Heavenly Glow you'd think has it in the bag but this isnt her grand final ,,,i'm not a fan of the after thought so i cant have her at the 3's...i'm looking for the improver and Pentacity fits the bill,,he's going very well and improving with each start,,the distance suits as does the gun jock and nice barrier ,HG needs to be respected ,,a couple for the exotics Laletta , Royal Harmony, Our Valpolicella..

Race 5, This isnt an easy race to assess,,,alot of these come out of a race where the whold field finished in a group,,,the best of them Bareena jumps 4.5 kg's as does Calchris...Chinchilla Rose weighted nicely and did ok last start after racing wide,,Miss Pageantry will appreciate the more forgiving surface at Domben and will improve a stack ..Zipanese is interesting ,,a distance query but she's classy and in good form.....I'm going to stick with Bareena as shes a big mare so the weight won't be to much of a hinderance and the likely tempo will suit her aswell..9's or better.

Race 6 , Atapi looks the standout,,he's flying and the 13's for the straddie looks inviting...I was worried about tempo here but i'm banking on Laura's Charm and Mr Baritone to run along..Hard to Catch with Stewart on board the big danger,,,he knows the horse and that the horse finishes better on the inside or between horses,,from the inside barrier he'll take the short cuts and races well here..these the two and at the prices you can back both..

Race 7, Got on early here with Lasaron,,couldnt help myself at the 21s...loved the way she ran home at the coast,,she looks good and is improving, loves the track n distance and a form jock on board..I'm also on Scenic Shot at 5.50 ,,Colless the master at finding a position and on looks he'll take a stack of improvement from his last run...Eskimo Queen the danger , Spinney and Stormhill for the exotics..

RAce 8, Hard to back against El Cambio after his last run,,,doubt he'll get that tempo here though and he's in the red,,,Heart of The Citi was ridden to close last start and didnt have much luck,,,,thought Mr Unforgettable's run was good last start and he should be in the first few..at the 21's he looks good value e/w..
