Race 1.
Doesnt look much of betting race...Mr Bachelor looks to have the wood on this lot,, won well last start..lucky to be odds on..might see how Vita Nova looks in the yard..but otherwise a no go race..

Race 2.
Not an easy race this one...I like Prend again here..the good jock on board and should of beat Hayils Magic a couple of starts ago..
I was torned between Prend and Socialist who i think is well in this..has the better form lines but does miss the kick..guessing thats why they've engaged Ms Banks as she rides him track work and knows him best....can't beat expereince though ..i'll be leaning Prends way ..but if theres anything like the 11's in paper today for Socialist i'll back both..

Race 3.
3 chances IMO in this race..Mameluke, Ra Ra Rulenza and Zauberei ..
Hard doing the speed map here...I'm thinking Zauberie will lead or atleast be in the first 3...If Byrne can control he wins this..Zauberie has had Ra Ra Rulenza covered before and he rises 4 kgs ....the distance is a query but Zauberei has run out very strong 1600m races before so this should be ok..
Mameluke will get way back..was a fantastic ride last week,and will need the same luck again.but Pannell is in hot form so hes the man for the job...
I'll be leaning towards Zauberei though because he should get the better run...

Race 4.
Its hard to see them letting Cold Start having it his own way up front again..they must of learned by now..I'm not sure how to rate Lester Thunderwing..this horse beat Enzed a few starts ago but hasnt done much since..but in way better races than this lot have been in.. if you go back through his form he's beaten better horses than this lot.(but the new trainer ??might be still working the horse out)
.and Appelby has been rolling along very well...not in it last start but worked to the line well.
Classic Carla did very well last start aswell..only beaten by a horse thats flying at the moment..and has shown in the past that he can be competitive this distance range...
Bryne seems to sway my decisions alot..his rating is just so high ..so Classic Carla gets the nod ..the barrier is perfect and he should get the run of the race..
Lester, Cold Start, Appleby and Rue the saint for the multis..

Race 5.
I loved the way Sharp Aunty hit the line last start..in a way harder race..
looks good here..this is her easiest race for awhile and should be to good for these..
thought Video hits and Minassi would run well and a roughie for the exotics is Denises Diamond who should lead..

Race 6.
Prosecutions run was good last start ..had to stop start but was in it a long way and will only get better over the mile..
Scenic wells looks well placed from the good barrier ..shouldnt be so far back as usual and did look good last start ,,..and Terace is the class runner ..just not sure about him straight up to the mile 2nd up but he does this all the time and he's not that badly treated at the weights..
Prosecution the one for me..just ahead of Terrace..
and yes i'm probably under estimating Hissy Fit again..
Dont tell Clang just didnt look right last start..but they're racing her again so all must be ok...will watch her this time though...

Race 7.
This is a tough race...Helter Skelter from the inside will fly but did it tough last Sunday ...wonder how much that took out of him..
I can see Mastermind pressuring him and we saw last prep that Mastermind is the real deal..can fight it out and is unbeaten 1st up...
wonder how much petrol will be in the tank from the wide barrier in the last 50m..
the backmarkers Nessuno, Picardi run ,Algorithm , Lion Safari will be all making there charge...
i thought Carolinas Boy with the best run just behind the leaders and a huge weight drop could get there ahead of the pack flying at the end..
Mastermind is the one i'm most worried about ..then the backmarkers..
might get e/w odds about Carolinas Boy ..maybe ??

Race 8.
Throw a dart in this one..if i have to pick something i'd look at Perette who keeps hitting the line well ..in harder races than this so if shes going to win this is her race....but not a race i'm to intersted in..

Good Luck All...
Not an easy card tomorrow..will be intersting to hear Svens view and others as i'm sure there will be differing selections in alot of these races..took me an age to do speed maps here as theres alot of variables but i feel confident ..

Keen on Sharp Aunty as my best ..but i think Mr Bryne will have a good day..


as i type this Lord Lucan wins in Melb ...i think Mr ed and Sportz will be hating me bout now .....sorry guys nice trifecta ...
