Race 1,
Diamondsontheinside, Greccolo, The Jackal, Nova Star.....my top four in a very open race...You'd think Diamonds would be ready now 4th run in and working to the line solidly..i would have liked to see alittle more from him but he his improving..has the good barrier,gun jock and likes the track and distance....The Jackal is an improving type,,wasnt entirely happy with his last 100m last start but against this opposition is a chance...Greccolo battled on well last start in a hot race,,,good thing about this horse is he puts himself in the race and the distance is ideal,,also like the breed..,,Nova Star will appreciate the wide open spaces here..will be a mile back but she'll be flying late....
Diamonds and Greccolo for the win.........Nova Star, The Jackal , Funlove close up..

Race 2.
Doesnt get much easier here,,,Deuxiume , Spirit Of tara rate the highest,,both will be back with probably Show Biz Kid and Xlerate....all will be making there trademark sweeping runs together.....Up the front you'll have Picablu , Omnitrader hopefully setting a nice tempo,,,the horse i can see getting a good run behind them will be Prosecution and Benedetti who will have to go forward from the bad barrier but that might count against him the last 50m........
I'm a fan of Diexieme ,,this horse can run time and loves it here on this track,,forget last run where he was wide and to far forward...Spirit of Tara is hard to follow just doesnt know how to win but it does seem a perfect race for him..,,Show Biz kid will be ridden very very quiet this time and you'll see a huge improvement also a good jockey change. ,,,,..
Looks like i'll be on Deuxieme and maybe a e/w on Prosecution plus working tris around the the ones mentioned..

Race 3.
Open race again...Coincedental ??,,,looks as though this has been her target race and should be peaking ,,,would have liked to see alittle more from her and alittle query on the jock...Pentelikon interests me here,,shes a very competitive mare and with the Pumper on board a big plus and i also thought she battled on very well last start from the bad barrier...
Youd think The princess and the Countess will battle out the lead together and would both be sitting ducks on this track but noth to good to forget,,,Pasiketera i think better when leading,,wont be able to do so tomorrow,,,..Freeroller's last 2 runs have been very good and has the good barrier and expect a better run by Love n Money who is better than her last few runs,,,always races better here....
At the odds Pentelikon and Freeroller ..??.

Race 4
Point Made, Majorca and Ice Chariot my top 3....i like the form around Point Made and also liked the way Majorca finished off last start...Ice Chariot's last run was ok,,,expected probably a bit more but here on this open track he'll have heaps of time to wind up....I'd expect him to be fairly short..if he is and Point Made is nice value i'll be leaning his way....Majorca an option depending on odds...Vietnam and Prend winding up late,,,..a good multi race..
also thought Master Dennis would give alot of cheek as he seems the only leader in this race..if he pinches a few cheap furlongs you just never know..but you'd think hed have to be a risk at the distance especially on this track..

Race 5.
Ghetto Blaster was very impressive last start,,,seems the only danger to the Maunds runners..not sure about this Upper Echelon who does seem to have a stack of ability....i'd be looking at Pure Energy and Ghetto Blaster as i think this Upper Echelon and a couple of others might pester Gold Edition out of it....not really keen on this race ..hoping for some value..

Race 6.
Seems the best bet option of the day this Gaze ,,,guessing to short for me to back but looks a great race for the 1st4 ,,especially with the big jackpot...
I'll be having a few combos...thought Allow or Magic Harmony a chance of maybe upsetting the fav with Beauty Watch , zenarta ,Vietnam , Upstaged in there somewhere.......
I dont mind this Magic Harmony who will love this track...might be worth an e/w if you dont like Gaze and the price..

Race 7.
Finally a race where i really like something...Consular gets the nod ...hes racing as good as ever..loves the track and i like Purton on him ...needs that strong whip rider to get him going....Not an easy race for him though..Falaise, Messian, Yell ,Smart and Mighty and even October Grey all good chances...
Consular for me but keep Falaise very safe,,,probably worth backing both...

Race 8.
this is where i throw the ratings out the window...High Academy for me...thought he was sus over ground but hes proven me wrong...hit the line nicely last start in a hot race...Colless knows the horse now and watch him come to the outside down his favourite track.....Arts Success, Bazelle, Coalesc the obvious dangers..

Best bets .??? Diamondsontheinside, Consular. High Academy
Best e/w's . Deuxieme, Pentelikon, Magic Harmony

As you can see not an easy day...i'd recomend going nice and wide with your multis..and backing 2 or even 3 horses a race.,,most races will be so open that its possible to do so.....personally i'll be taking it alittle easier in Brissie than usual ,,it just seems one of those days hopefully i start well
