Sorry guys i'm late...if you guys are ready with your summaries ,,just start the thread..dont wait for me i'll just join in.....hope you guys have worked extra hard this week,,,last week was dissapointing we need to fight back,,

Race 1.
Crappy race to start with,,,Pentathon after his last run has to be a chance but you have to remember he didnt spend a penny in transit last start and was entitled to finish that close.but i did like his last 50m or so....Very Canny is a consistant horse but no superstar but from the inside alley will probably jump favourite as he races handy so atleast he'll be in it when the whips are cracking..I like Laming with the stayers and he has a high opinion of Sir Coup ,,..Devastating is interesting ,,had the freshn after his last gold coast run..this run wasnt as bad as it looks on paper..JB had a shocker that day and got most of his horses in impossible positions ,the horse races best on this track and the distance is ok,,,weight and the lack of recent racing the only downside,,maybe they are looking at the cups later on Like the Caloundra or Ipswich..,he is the class in the race though and in a race with question marks on alot of runners he might be the way to go e/w at the odds....not a race to get overly excited about..
(i havent mentioned that Donkey Abu Simbel,,but it wouldnt surprise me to see him show what i thought he had,,,and thats a good sprint at the business end)
Pentathon the safe bet ,,,Devastating an e/w spec..
Pentathon/ Very Canny/ Devastating/Sir Coup ......

Race 2
Another ordinary race...i'm a fan of Tycoon Rose ,,shes as honest as they come ,,not sure shes been placed very well this prep with Bob prefering to take on the males but if it rains shes a chance...same with listen Pal the horse i think needs the sting out to show his best,,,,,Soul Diva is interesting,,this horse has good form on paper and the breeding suggests the extra 200m will suit,,,Mesmorising and Radar Orielly both had excuses last start and will like the track and distance.....the speed maps the key here..Soul Diva should lead with tycoon Rose and Partridge challenging...i dont see them going flat out here so i doubt that suits the bottom 2 ,,,King Of Soul the one who gets the drop on them from the good barrier and after the solid run last start a danger.....but might be to short to be on,,...i'll be looking at Soul diva in the mounting yard and if she looks the part i might be tempted ...
looks a race i'll be playing around with multis...and having alittle on Tycoon Rose as usual,,
King Of Soul/Soul DIva/Tycoon Rose..

Race 3.
Becks has got the grandstand ...but you'd still think hes to good for them...the two Generals the danger...these the only three i like... They could have claimed with Becks but they've stuck with Purton who knows the horse so well...i'd want the 6's in the paper or close to it...
but if it rains i'd lean towards Generals Command who even without the rain the 2nd rater and a good chance..,,
Becks carrying the grandstand and me for good measure fingers crossed for a price..

Race 4.
How good was Angel Girl last start...raced wide the whole way..granted they did walk which helped her...I'm a big fan of Plachutta and she won me a stack last start...i like the breed , the jockey, the trainer...and she won with alot up her sleeve last start...i think she might sneek under the radar here and be nice e/w odds....Angel Girl and Astounded the obvious dangers and i also thought Sweet As will appreciate the open spaces here..a very open race ....looking for value
Plachutta at 17's fixed...will take a piece of that and see how she looks game day...

Race 5.
Well whos going to beat Starlactic ?? i thought last start from the awkward barrier they might get him..but he beat them with contempt.....i cant have him at those odds though..i'll be looking for an e/w and i think i might get those odds with A Little Naughty,,this horse is in form..quick enough to take advantage of the inside and does have a good finish...the form around Becks is good and if Becks wins the 3rd i'll be even more confident....and dont leave that So Chic out of your multis,,,the horse has been running time.......Shame the prep for Imprisioned as hes a good horse ,,same with King rex...and if they go nuts up front watch for Zoes Lad charging late...

Race 6.
I'll be taking on Belmonte...just not convinced about him at the 2400m ,,he struggled to beat Master Dennis who i dont think is a stayer at all...just has class that gets him in it along way...Allow was super impressive last start as was Ice Chariot ..
Ice Charriot will have to come from a mile back again..can he do it again ??? I' think a nonwinner in Kincharm an e/w chance...i think this is his race..the horse has ability gets the good run with the top jock on board...he seems the safe bet to me .
Vision and Power finished nicely last start...Allow was super last start....they'll come for Ice Chariot and Belmonte so i might get the odds to back Allow and also Kincharm.....

Race 7.
Well i'm already on here...St Basil, La Montagna, Daunting Lad,,,i'm not backing anything else but instead have a big play with trifectas and 1st4s....St Basil has the horror inside barrier... la Montagna will need the private steer sprint lane but Daunting Lad will atleast make his own luck,,,,i thought Shania Dane and Star Shiraz good chances that have been mostly ignored by tipsters.....Hard to catch ,Consular and La Sizeranne also chances.......i've mentioned about 8 ...
I think in this race the horses to concentrate on are the ones that will get the good runs in the first part of the field ,,i doubt the usual breakneck speed you usually get in this,,,yes a big field so a solid temp but nothing crazy....also i like horses in this with the strong finish and can run 15 or even 1600m strong..
Shania Dane/ Daunting Lad/St Basil,,..because of the even tempo i think from the inside barrier St Basil wont be as far back as usual..maybe midfield...Cahill just needs a gap in the straight and he'll win......
going to be a great race as usual ...may the best horse win

Race 8.
Anca the best bet of the card,,,from the inside with the good jock looks a big chance....Socialist who finally won for me last start comes back to town ,,i just laughed watching the replay of his win last start..this horse has run into traffic in every start prior so little Banksy had the horse wide the whole way with no traffic in font of her and he won easily...,,,i wish stewart on High Academy had done the same when the horse was in suitable events...anyway Anca looks good with a great place chance to Socialist..,Fabiarna impressive last start keep safe,,gets the sit off Anca...these the 3 with Mosso flying late..

Best Bets...Becks .starlactic, Allow, Anca
Best e/ws.... Devastating. Plachutta, Consular,

Not an easy day...had the winners last week but not the betting strategy that counts,,,hopefully i'll jag some of the likely huge pools in the mulits,,,

Good Luck All
