Race 1,
Not an easy race as it seems to start off...all the rage is Phoenix Express and does deserve notice,,i was on this horse last start and he ran on well considering the pace of that race was very muddling.....the pace off this race might be sort of the same with no real leaders engaged...Kantoshi Millions and Cut of the Caper look the ones to go forward...Kantoshi if he can dictate alittle in front will give a lot of cheek in this..the horse is racing better than ever...Craiglee Bob against this lot is well in even with the weight,,,should get the nice sit on the rail and will loom up in the straight somewhere....and then theres all my old friend Chut ,,,i vowed never to back this horse again after he lost for me a few times....he does however have everything in his favour in this race,,,has a great jockey, the track , the distance ,,,and has gained fitness from some good lead ups,,,his run at the Gold Coast was excellent ,,he just jumped out of the ground...I'm guessing Phoenix will be around the 3's and Chut around the 8's ,,i really think that Chut now hes minus the crown jewels has turned the corner...i think Colless can get the best out of him and at the better odds i'll be on......(perette rates high,,,Stewart kills it for me though)

Race 2,
Its taking me awhile to warm to Roman Squire but after seeing him in the flesh and watching him run live i really think this horse has a future....even could take that next step...i worry alittle about the pace in this race aswell but i'm very impressed with Roman Squire and i think he'll be to good,,,Elegant Roi looks the leader and after last starts effort is going to be very hard to beat again...Regimental also finished hard last start and didnt have much luck at all....
Roman Squire,,,,Elegant Roi/Regimental/Divine Conqueror,,,Succeeding..

Race 3,
Pagan County runs on every race...some would think better suited over longer but i disagree...this horse has an excellent 1000m record and just because hes a backmarker doesnt mean he needs it longer...theres a stack of speed in this and i think Pagan County suited with the roomy straight will finish over them...odds look good so far..

Race 4
Imperilism in this field just looks to good for them,,,this horse is classy and only needs to be 80% to win this,,the barrier means he'll be able to go to sleep on the rail and will be hard to hold out in the straight...
one at odds i've been waiting for here is Vocalic,,this horse is racing very well,,,i admit when he beat Mosso on the sticky i thought nothing of it,,being a funny surface and all,,but his last 2 runs have been excellent with no luck at all,,,he gets no weight here and worth a look for sure...maybe be able to back both...or maybe Vocalis e/w as Imperilism will have support and maybe to short..the speedy Renouf should give the backmarkers there chance,,
Imperilism/Vocalic,,,,Renouf/Viovode/general Patton

Race 5,
Match race between Mitanni and Bikie,,,,,,if Mitanni leads easily he wins,,if something pressures him Bikie Wins...looks a no value race...i'd guess a horse like Adavale Hornett might try and lead this as its his only chance,,,if he does get pushed out of the gates and leads at a good tempo Bikie has to be the one....
looks a look on race for me ..

Race 6.
Wow what an open race is this,,,,should be 6's the field.....I'm a fan of Friscos Vision,,this horse will atleast be up on the speed and give you a good run for your money,,,hard to miss Classic Alibi's run last start and Lady of Courage was also very good...
these the top 3 for me,,,..I have Friscos Vision on top and on the better ground i think he'll be hard to catch..Clasic Alabi rates very high to...might be able to back both....
Frisco's Vision/Classic Alabi

Race 7,
Another very open race....Borroloola Lad showed excellent speed last start and will be fiitter for the run..has a good barrier and the claim helps...will give a good sight for your money...Bucks Secret performs well here and will be running on...
Private Frisco/Dangerous Host there abouts..

Race 8,
I took on Rasmussen last start as i thought he wouldnt be able to cross and lead ,,,well he did cross and lead and dictated and won very well...Socialist hit the line well in that same race and is in this again ..you can bet Carl will be taking off that little bit earlier this time....I have Thats better up the front with Rasmussen and this should mean the lightly raced Gelding wont get it easy like last time....So Socialist and Sweet Ransom gets there chance...Socialist with the race fitness alittle ahead of Sweet Ransom at this stage..
Socialist/Sweet Ransom,,Rassmussen/Thats Better
