Race 1: Not interested at all and to be honest it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Rue the Saint walk away with the race even with 60.5kgs on it's back.

Race 2: Countess Bathory is the obvious choice here but I thought there could be some value in the race between Eyes Forever, Cha Cha D'Amour, Amused & Gang. would probably find the best value out of those and go e/w on them.

Race 3: I like Twanged (again) and Dane Fantasy here I would doubt I will see any great odds about Twanged but Dane Fantasy could be one that skips in under the radar a little.

Race 4: Not interested at all.

Race 5: Specially Made was a real good run last start flying home however it has drawn the car park in this one to and hence will end up a mile back again I would imagine. I wouldn't be surprised to see Tudor Quest improve here could prove hard to beat with the draw.

Race 6: Smart and Mighty obviously a big chance here but after his last win doubt there will be to many that won't be on him I will be looking wide here. Step Ahead is driving me nuts didn't get the best of runs last start and if I can get similar odds again I might enetertain jumping on again, Desert Flight has to be given a chance aswell good draw this time and should get a decent run on the speed. if Lamond is ever going to win over a mile this could be it I doubt he can run a good mile though if they do go slowly it probably would suit him better. Imperialism is another obvious one but cannot be left out of discussions as a winner or multiples.

Race 7: I thought Cajun Steel might be a decent e/w bet in this one has been hitting the line hard and even though he is up quite a deal in class he looks as though he just might be able to handle it.

Race 8: good run by Fastness last start if he reproduces that he is a chance again also like Argyle Gem very good run last start and if it can settle a little closer then it just might be winning here.

Melbourne: I didn't mind Truly Wicked 1st up drawn to perfection certainly think it has the ability to win this race I actually think it's biggest danger might be Hollow Bullet shame to see Dilly Dally scratched don't tell me it is injured again.

Sydney: Suns Song I don't mind in the 1st race it is close to a win and got beaten by a good one last start if it can settle a little closer today then it can be winning just holding off Prima Nocte & Kosi Bay, in race 5 I like Banabolda e/w thought it might be able to lead or sit outside the leader here and prove very hard to run down in the straight, I really like Media looks a very strong hope with all the speed in this race they should be flying and if she has been wound up enough she just might fly over the top of them here I expect her to go pretty close anyway, race 7 is a very hard race Prime Century is in red hot form wouldn't surprise to see him put 3 in a row here the other one I like is Pekalan been a good horse to me and wouldn't be surprised to see her get home today.
