When I saw the heading mate all I could think about was this could be the state I am in at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Just about to head out to the airport now ready for the big day.

Race 1: if I have to pick anything in this race it would probably be Dane Fever but to be honest I probably will leave this one alone.

Race 2: I don't mind Poetic Papal and he should only be fitter from the big break that he had had first up I also think that Lucky Diva will be hard to beat.

Race 3: Blood 'n' Bone is going pretty well and as long as he jumps with them he will be tough to beat he is creaping up in the weights though. Daunting Lad, The Spit and Cha Cha D'Amour are the others I like in the race if the later gets a clear crack at them then it just might get there seems to really like Doomben.

Race 4: To be honest there are only 2 horses I want ot be on here Diamondsondinside and Street Smart will most likely end up on Street Smart hoping for a bit of e/w value.

Race 5: Hard race to work out this one I liked the run of Bosworth Field first up for Dwyer and it did have some fair form in Sydney before coming here, Wishart worries me a little looks lik he is starting to get fitter might be a run to early for him though.

Race 6: Dezigna and Step Ahead are the 2 I like here with plenty of dangers in such a big field luck is going to play more of a part than anything in this one.

Race 7: Cedar Manor looks the hardest to beat in this one he is in beautifully at WFA but I must say I didn't like the way he ran the 2500m of the derby in Victoria so maybe he might be a worry at the distance hard to say really. After him I like Raw Instinct, Bush Honey, Natural Blitz and Pacific Dancer.

Race 8: Hard race if Eremein runs upto his first up run then he probably walks in but there is a chance it may have flattened him a little and there are a host of dangers if he does race flat. Spirit of Tara, Lords A Leaping and Roving Owl are where I might try to find some value.

Good Luck with the punt today guys hope we all go home winnners.
