Race 1,
Sirmione looks the one after looking good last start,,but theres some question marks over the distance (jump of 500m) this is enough for me to get alittle sceptical,,,with these sort of races i like looking at the breeding and trying to find something that will be suited by it,,,thing is i cant and its probably why Sirmione is 2.50 ,,,Aquaracer has been racing in great style and atleast isnt a distance worry,,just a class worry...Currigee has got some credentials but last couple have been awfull..
Not excited about this race,,..will be warming up at the bar,
Race 2,
Really like Rash Promise ,,,i know Legendary Man looked good last start but i'll wait till next time for him as i think he might need another run..Rash is fit and will be put to sleep on the inside and has enough time in the smallish field to get some room..Masai Pride will be improved with JB back on..but the main danger is SpyZaim,,horse has got some good form and from the good barrier will be right in it all the way..
Rash on top..exacta with Spyzaim
Race 3,
With Raheeb out ,,Danliegh looks a special,,gets a good barrier and has been flying...the big track and distance look ideal..(might have given the straddie a shake ?) ,,,Prince Leo was good last start without any luck,,is in good form but Colless will need alot of luck...Snort although a backmarker has shown he can take a possie from a good draw worth including..
Danliegh the one ...Prince Leo worth an e/w spec even with the draw...
Race 4,
How hard is this race....i have Coolroom Candidate, Hanna Rossa, Villa Bled, Jadane all very close ,, ..I'm a fan of Coolroom and you know you'll get a good run for your money,,alittle worried about the distance...Villa Bled's last 2 runs have been huge,,,has the good barrier but doesnt win enough to get the warm and fuzzies about,,,,,Jadane was good last start,,,Hanna Rossa was even better,,,....good race to play with the tris adding storm signal and jazella and even Countess bathory whos ready now 3rd run in.....
I'll settle on Villabled i think,,unless something jumps out at me in the yard bet it will be Coolroom,,....go wide in the exotics.
Race 5,
Kyros was just to good last start not to back here,,,has everything to suit including the better jockey chancge ..Apercu the obvious danger,,,a good roughie to juice up the exotics is Acquired,,very good last start and bred to appreciate the extra distance..
Kyros ..
Race 6,
I doubted Lasaron at the distance last start,,,and will do the same again,,..Eskimo Queen is just flew last start ..I was hugely impressed with Fuji Fantasy and like the trainer with distance horses but the wet track might have flattered..I liked the run of Very grand and the distance should suit,,..and the same with Dougs Mate who's bred perfectly for this.. will have fun with the exotics and have between Doug and Fuji
Race 7,
Another hard race,,,,seems the freshns suit ********** Sky who must be a fragile little thing..but at 1300m in this class,,,some question marks,,The honest Mr Hornblower never runs a bad race and should be considered..The Jackal ridden awfull last start hasnt got the ideal barrier for him but EF gives you a chance to get out in plenty of time....Enrique looked good last start and is a show and i know everyone is righting off Daunting Lad because of the weight but hes earned it..Son Of dane is going well and when you look at the speed map he gets the good run in behind Rassmussen,,,there might not be alot speed in this race,,Rassmussen leading with Tellem, Son Of Dane and Daunting lad going forward......these could get it fairly easy in front unless tellem takes Rass on....Nova Star was very good last start with the weight and is in good form..likes the track aswell..
Mr Hornblower gets his chance and is nice odds i have him coming over with Son Of dane and being very handy maybe even 1 out 1 back but atleast in the top 5.....consitency gives him the nod in a very hard race to work out..
Race 8,
Grand Zulu is going ok and is thriving in Qld,,liking the better tracks i guess...hasnt won for donkeys,,...Gaze and Headturner the obvious,,,whos leading this race ?? hard speed map ,,,..hope i dont need this race to get out of Jail...
Grand Zulu e/w at odds,,

Best bets... Rash Promise, Kyros, Danleigh
Best e/ws.. Mr Hornblower....Prince leo

Good Luck all
