Clearly the fastest heat winner yesterday was the lightly raced 3YO Friar's Touch. Easily beat handy older horses Rooftop Grosve and Stir Pak.

Two starts only last campaign for two wins, Friar's Touch resumed earlier this month but was a well beaten 2nd fav. Yesterday's run would suggest a much improved effort is just around the corner.

Race 1
Blinkers on for Misguiding which hopefully will improve her racing manners enough to win this

Race 2
Bit of pace in this race so going for one that should be suited and be a bit of value Silent Wishes had excuses last start Northam

Race 3
Kim Joy no luck last start races well fresh. Rumoured drawn nicely & looks well in on limit

Race 4
Platinum got further back than planned last start & still got close. Forget Scenic Heart went around last start unable to get clear at any stage in the straight. Jacks High the one that both will have to run down

Race 5
Top 3 should fight this out. Siesta Park down in class. Water Into Wine & Shatner both impressive winners Northam 7 May

Race 6
Tough race depending on how it pans out. Should be plenty of speed which will suit fancies Air Race & Etcetera Etcetera, and not so fancied Hero Of The Dawn & Lady Edwinstowe. If either Foxaround or Stone Man get it easy early then very hard to run down. Interesting runner down from the NT Cormeoghan where he’s been lumping big weights around with success


Race 7
Bet Ahead always a chance this type of race with apprentice claim. Accept The Rose unlucky not to beat Kia Ora Miss last start. Old Georgie Girl going great guns Geraldton and is capable of bringing that form to the big smoke. Merry Cossack should have just about won last start & a repeat effort would go close in this. Winning Scene is capable & should be value had no luck last start

Race 8
Major Key capable the short distance while still fresh. Designer Show glu shoes off (good sign). Mr Telini in all kinds of strife last start but still won, up in class but been placed in city previously. Swoopers Best Buys, Forest Frolic, China City & Crystal Grey all capable if pace is on. Nullagine good chance if pace is off

Very nice bunch of sprinters going around Sat!

Electic has tons of potential goes OK fresh.

Local Legend and Steptoe also very smart.

Looking outside those Impressive Stats could surprise @ 25/1.

Should be a great race!!
