Moonee Valley

R4 - Two formlines here with plenty coming from the Sylvan Courtrace and Fuji Fantasy coming off a C6 metro win. Out of the Sylvan Court race I thought the winner was good and the runner up Power of Love was unlucky. It's arguable to say which one was the better run when you consider that Power of Love was held up but had the gun run on the rail whereas Sylvan Court sat three wide from about the 500m and kicked on to win. Power of Love meets Sylvan Court 1.5kg better at the weights but Sylvan Court has more scope for improvement and tends to race handier. Fuji Fantasy was very good last start when sitting three wide midfield and proving too strong for Raeburn with a good space to third. Fuji Fantasy met Sylvan Court two start back with the points going to Slyvan Court by 0.4L and Fuji Fantasy meets Sylvan Court 1kg better at the weights. Barrier one and Childs on Fuji Fantasy are two big advantages as he can sit her closer than usual without doing much work. Leaning towards Fuji Fantasy.

R5 - I'm leaning to Electrostatic. First time on the track but looks suitable with the short straight. The extra give on this track seems to her liking as well. Her run two starts back was very good when she resumed after a 63 day let up, set a strong tempo, kicked 3-4L clear in the straight and was run down late by backmarkers Amberino and Hanna Rossa over 1300m. Amberino franked that form winning next start.

R6 - Kaphero even with the big weight.

Mortlake

R5 - The up and comer Boss it's Over will be hard to beat with 52kg. The old Airstream could have given him 5kg but he is short of his best. Starzando looks the danger, much better on good tracks and will be hard to run down over 1300m. Has a 3L fifth to Blitz'em Riley over 1400m to his credit.

Murray Bridge

R7 - Rockford Bay and Satara met last start in the Mildura Cup finishing 1L second and 1.2L third respectively. Rockford Bay was dissapointing first up after two trial wins but blinkers on switched him on last start. Good effort by Satara to drop 300m in distance and get so close, he was closing late so the step up to the mile looks perfect. He put togeather two wins and his last start third since the blinkers came off three starts back. A win and a second from two starts at this tricky track. Leaning to Satara.
