Hi red and all, don’t mind the Perth races myself. Have been following closely for some 18 months, with good success. So here goes :roll: - let’s hope I don’t become another victim of the famous forum curse :wink:

R1: Magic Pass looks to have a slight edge over Air Pocket (the raced brigade) but will be watching for moves for any of the 1st starters as I think not a hard race to win first-up.

R2: If Quasarock is left alone in front, will be very hard to run down. Agree with red that Field Commander can run a big race first-up. Both Bonnie Brae & T’Shombie will be running on at the business end. Risca Flight could surprise at odds with the addition of blinkers.

R3: Agree with red – Femme does look the hardest to beat, with Twin City Girl (goes well fresh) the main danger. Voltage Reign also goes well fresh. Could still be a tricky race with a couple of horses with good country form & another couple with good trial form. Expect Scenic Vision to improve considerably on her first run.

R4: I can see why you didn’t comment on this race red, what a lottery. For what it is worth my top 3 are Charming Story, Honami & King Elvis.

R5: Do expect Royal Sonata to be the hardest to beat. However if either Zoloto or Samurai Star get their own way in front, will be extremely hard to run down. Also like Dashing Scene.

R6: Doesn’t look like much opposition to take on Inzaghi for the lead, so must be the one to beat. Agree red that Money Is Magic good chance to run him down, if the race is run to suit. Also expect big runs from Paradiddle and Thunder Hawk.

R7: Very open. Real Storm looks the best of the on-pace brigade. Poliwhirl a big danger. Value chances could be Rustic Hero, Launder and Near To Tod.

R8: Another hard race. Expect the speed on with the likes of Eastern Standard & Rickitave in the race. Big plunge on Western Tycoon last start went astray. They need to get their money back! Cento goes well fresh, as do Heavy Nova & True And Correct. Beyond Dispute another with a chance but drawn wide. Decision To Go in fine form in the city, C’Mon Bluey in fine form in the country. Let’s hope you are all winning before you get to this race.
