Sydney

Race 1: I think most will go past Dessetta because it ran 2nd to Jeteye last start over the same distance and class. But that time it ran from last on a slow track and it the conitions suit it should win

Race 2: Anyone's guess

Race 3: Midnight City will beat Ghengis here through class. Two starts ago it ran 2nd in a 1400m Group 1. Hasn't missed out on the top 2 when resuming before, and ran a good 3rd in its last barrier trial

Race 4: Very hard to split between Loftily and Wasimah here, try them in a quinella.

Race 5: I think the three top chances are Jovial, Newton's Rings and Salgado. All three have very good form goin into this and should run well

Race 6: Chrimson Sakura is a favoutire of mine, and will beet this ordinary field. Great last two runs and will do it again. So Assertive for a place

Race 7: Irongail here with the big weight. Won well when resuming over 1300m on a wet track. Quality mare who has come back well so is going to be very hard to beat again

Race 8: See The Bell has had two starts since a spell, both on wet tracks. Last start was a great run and will relish the 1200m


Melbourne

Race 2: Kepola battled on very hard last start and never gave in. Will lead unchallenged, and may take it all the way

Race 3: Delicate Snip has the form to win this and should do it relatively easily

Race 4: I like the outsiders Holmesa and Super Seren who will both love the 2000m and should go pretty close. No real standouts

Race 6: Super Elegant is an absolute special, but i will only back it if i get $2.90....can't see that happening though

Race 8: I think Power and Faith will like the step back in distance and will try and lead all the way
