G'day Mav,

Agree that it doesn't look an easy day at EF but we'll see what we can do...

Race 1 - I like Minoa here. Was a dominant win last time and with the alley can just sit off them maybe in 2nd or 3rd getting a nice run. Special Langfuhr was a big run last time at the big odds and did beat Minoa 2 back - the weights favour Minoa here though. Lord Rupert has a great record at the distance, but doesn't win out of turn. A good one for the place.

Race 2 - First babies race in Bris. Always a good sight i find. Never a flash race to bet on obviously. Maybe Brambletye over Unintentional and Voodoo Red Magic.....but i'll just be watching them.

Race 3 - Just the Star should be ready to win one now i'd say (she'd wanna win one soon, or the natives will start to get restless). With the 2 runs back, 3 off for the claimer...everything looks OK for her tomorrow. Racetrack was a good run last time, looking for extra ground and he gets it here (with the big track). Justdane is a rough hope too, with some consistent runs around the Coast and Toowoomba.

Race 4 - Don't have a clue. Hissy Fit was a good win last time, but this is a rise in class. She would have taken some benefit from the run and won't be far off them at the finish. Beamer has good pace, which will help here and can figure with the senior jockey on board. Umatrick can finish it off with some pace on too. Has run well in better races before.

Race 5 - Good race. Agree that theres alot of speed here. I like A Little Naughty. Ran some great races last campaign behind some smart ones and can fire fresh. Free As Air isn't hopeless either, could be there at the finish at long odds. Bunsen is a tough bloke to pick, but he's in with a chance if he puts his best foot forward.

Race 6 - Mesmerising is mine here. Great win last time in inferior class, but obviousy has loads of potential, and with the weight advantage over Star Shiraz, i think she can upset the toppy. Obviously Star Shiraz is class and you can never discount class, but the weight might just get her tomorrow. Shanambah is a nice filly on the rise who can sit on pace, and could easily be in the finish.

Race 7 - Good race again. Doesn't appear to be too much speed. However, i like Video Hits. Has been improving on every run and i just think he's really close to a win. Matey will be on pace and you can't fault his form. No doubt he'll put in a good show, Eagle Farm 1400m is a concern there though. General Sam didn't get all the breaks last time and can go better here with the longer straight.

Race 8 - Pager has really struck form and i see no reason to jump off. No weight, and can jump straight on pace....he'll do me. Riva Rebel has his chance to improve here at big odds, after 2 runs back from a break. St Pirian is a chance also with the good Jock on board, the win rate is starting to be a concern there though.

Will be throwing a few Lachlan River's way in the Yalumba too. Might still be a bit short for him though.

Good day's racing tomorrow, best is probably Minoa with eachway chances to Mesmerising and Video Hits.

Good luck all

Sven
