Race 1,
Not an easy race to start with ,,Skyleda rates very high..really liked his last run and the likely slow track helps his cause he gets back in his races and really winds up,,the track here gives these types of horse there chance..Galloway likes the horse aswell,,,...Wheel the lead rates the highest,,has been racing very well and the lebron form is ok and with the claim will only have 54.5 kg's,droping back in distance is the only worry..,, These look the two for me....thought Veerod a chance of jagging a place at odds...very nice run last start..
Skyleda / Wheel the lead...
Race 2.
I dont like this race all that much,,alot of pretenders in this lot,,You'd think this race is taylor made for Monte Cavallo but youd go broke backing this horse for the win every time..the form around ths horse stacks up and if your willing to believe he'll get the distance hes easily the top rater..thought Aerosol could run a cheeky race here..no weight and likely to get the lead fairly easy..if little Moris can steal a break on them he'll be hard to catch.. ...King Latarmiss likes the track and the JB knows the track and where to start his run....these the top 3..work the multis around these...
Monte Cavallo on top,,, just have to find the courage. ,,,/ Aerosol/ King Latarmiss
Race 3.
I've taken on Mesmorising of late and have been sucessful with it..tomorrow i think she can win this. good run last start and just seems ready to peak here and the track suits..,,the wet ?? if the weather is the same as today it will be on the good side of slow or even dead..and she won nicely on the dead at e/f.....i like her alot...
Nice to see Tycoon Rose race against the girls and shes in this with a huge place chance.....Suubird interested me last start,,i'm convinced this horse is best at 1100m but she raced well over the 1350m last start...Colless the difference i guess,,
Ally Bee if it rains just grows another leg......
but i really like Mesmorising.
Race 4
I was very impressed with De Castella...sutton might have something here,,he cruised to victory last start and wasnt tested...this is the test of course but i like the way he strides out..the breeds been disapointing for mind but i like this one...alot to like about the way Moglich fought on last start,,,i like the Clangs in the wet ...Sweet As did enormous to finish where she did last start..sat 3 wide on the lead from a good alley..hope they get her to settle this time behind the leaders..she'll love this wide open straight to wind up in...
De Castella / Sweet As .....Moglich....
Race 5.
Surpised to find that Grecolo even with the horror alley still rates on top...this horse has good barrier speed so he seems to find a posie pretty easily..got the good run last start but i thought laboured with the weight in the straight alittle...still if he repeats that run he wins this,,I'd really like to back Diamonds but he hasnt impressed me this prep...the distance and track and likely conditions suit but he hasnt showed that good finish he used to have...(i'll see it tomorrow with me just me just watching)
.Rumbird the big danger...will get back and wind up and the distance is perfect but the slow track is a question mark...(the catbirds in the wet ?)
Greccolo,,,,should get a price jumping from that alley
Race 6.
Im prepared to take La Zizeranne here with the extra weight and against the boys...unlike me to jump on then off a horse but...Mitanni and Hasta La Ciao Ciao look the 2...
Mitanni should have won last start...forester just needed to keep him balanced but instead worried about where he was on the track,,,the form around Spirit of Tara is 1st class,,,,,Hasta just blitzed them last start and although this is way harder she did it with ease and she has improvement still in her,,,drops weight aswell...
Consular and old fav of mine will run well,,especially if they ride him back,,ridiculous tactics last start...but i think hed be better suited on a better track,,..
Mitanni to win..good starting point the 1400m ...Hasta close up and worth backing as well if at the odds you can....Top marc / Consular /LA Sizerane to place ,,,
Race 7.
Most people think Sphenohpta has already won this...I dont think it will be all that easy..Ipswich is a very deceptive track and JB basically used it like a slingshot and stole the race...this track plays the opposite..i liked the way JymCarew hit the line last start..i needed convincing he could run the trip and i think he can,, depends on how the track is playing......Empyreal if by this time if the track is alittle choppy will win this ..just a good old fashion swimmer....I'll take on the hotpot (i always do) Jymcarew if the track is dead,,,Empyreal if its wetter,,,simple unsure ? then back them both with the phyta as the saver..
Race 8.
Court Adjourned looked real good last start...had no luck at all in a very good race..i know it was a blanket finish and these can be deceptive but his run against Becks was good also...to bad the track conditions dont suit,,,,Lasting Luck if you forget last run where he was just to far back has great form for a race like this...pushed Helter Skelter ,,beat Fluffy Duck and was beaten just by San Fransisco,,,,has the good alley and will be in it for a long way...JB helps...the 3yr filly Tabinga Lass should have won last start,,has had a million starts already but seems to enjoy it..at odds a real good place chance..
Lasting Luck if im having a good day..,,,

Scary taking on the 2 hotpots La Sizeranne and Phyta but i'm feeling adventerous after a good time of late..
Best Bets,,,,Monte Cavallo, Mesmorising
Best E/W's... Skyleda, Grecolo, Mitanni,Jymcarew
Best Roughie,,,Tabinga Lass, Aerosol

watch the price on mitanni, if hasta is scratched (ive heard it is) u may not get any value.
good luck mate. go rin tin

Track is my main issue not sure what sort of rating we are going to be looking would guess probably around slow.

Race 1: Terribly hard race to start the day I amnot overly confident about anything here I don't mind Soul Diva, Rum Dum, Skyleda and Vee Rod. If I had to pick out of them right now it would probably be Soul Diva and Rum Dum really thought Soul Diva was quite a nice run last start one of the few outside of Hasta La Ciao Ciao to make up ground in a very slowly run race I also thought Rum Dum was going well until last start not sure what happened there might have just been an off day.

Race 2: Not a fan of anything here but I did give Regimental a chance of going close in this always running on and well who knows might just get the lucky breaks in this Pope knows the track well so he should give it every chance thought Chasin' Tail might prove hard to get past in the straight aswell.

Race 3: Another hard race here Banabolda has had the writing on the wall but I don't think the step up in distance is to it's liking it always gave me the inkling it was a rather weak horse I can't come into Mesmerising it has had it's chances in my opinion and hasn't done it yet and I'll be betting it is still trying after tomorrow Anca gives me a similar feeling a bit of a gunna, Your starting to see why I don't like this race a great deal.

If someone forced me to pick a horse it would be a toss up between Dana's Kingdom and maybe Equal with a bit of a rough sort of chance to Dorin Donna I do feel it may need a run or 2 though.

Race 4: Sweet As has to win a race soon but it just keeps making bad luck for itself she is certainly good enough just needs to do herself some favors, I have an opinion of Maserardi thought she hit the line pretty good last start and the step up in distance can only be a help for her after that I would give a bit of a chance to Coffee Time form doesn't read to badly and will get in very light with the claim here.

Race 5: Well I have been on Rumbird all prep but tomorrow will be different firstly I don't like the fact every man and his *** is tipping the horse already and the other is the Catbird factor in the breeding it will not handle the wet IMO dead is as bad as he wants it. I am thinking of going back to Prend here to be honest been off it for the last 3 starts but she will be fit and there looks to be enough speed in the race to give her a chance not to mention I think she really likes the cut out of the ground, after that I didn't mind Grecolo and Indomato who I think might be a good rough chance.

Race 6: I to am off of La Sizeranne this week she had the race given her last week not the case this time, Hasta La Ciao Ciao looks a very promising horse however I did notice that she is listed as doubtful on sportsbet so I wonder what the issue is there, Mitanni is a must include he doesn't quite run out the mile and yes I agree with you Mav the form around Spirit of Tara is as good as any around right now, I might sound nuts but I reckon there are a pair of roughies who have an outside chance here Doonan Dancer who I think should handle the track alright was a great run in the eye liner and is currently about $31 and Birthday Bash he is by Shinko Forest and for the most part they don't mind the sting out also around the $31 I also wouldnot leave out Tropical Express great run last start behind a pretty good horse even if it did bleed.

Race 7: Just give me Sphenophyta here that was a hell of a win last start he was fantastic the way he just rounded the field up in the matter of 100 metres was awesome I think he just wins the only danger in my opinion is Empyreal just dirty on it after last week it should have won and gave in a bit easy for mine. Roughie Lester Thunderwing hard to see him winning though.

Race 8: I'll be happy to be taking on that cat Chut it just refuses to put in on the track was one of the most overrated animals I have ever seen. Court Adjourned, Marikal, Deputy Deal and maybe Tearinupthecountry are all chances here I am slightly leaning to Deputy Deal though form looks alright if you go back to last prep might have just taken a couple of runs this prep with the claim and great wet track form I wouldn't leave this out of anything.

If I get a chance I will post my other states in the morning not sure though good luck to all.

Another thing hoping my mates horse Magical Idea goes alright at the Gold Coast in Race 2 aslong as it isn't scratched ofcourse.

Looks like a Dead track today at Sunny COast,,,suns out and shinning..
Brings Court Adjourned back into it in the last...
Chasin Tail is confidently tipped by a friend whos usually got the inside mail about a horse...,,will have to keep it safe.
Still happy with Mitanni as he should get it his own way up front..
Royal Rapid in melbourne ?? any thoughts ?? missed it last night but it is a booker..,,

Grecolo and Hasta La Ciao Ciao are scratched.

Have been on Sphenophyta it's last two, see no reason to jump off!

How do u guys rate Helter Skelter in Melbourne today ?

Helter Skelter is a chance in Melbourne I don't mind Haphazard in that race and can't wait to see how one of my old favs Speedy King comes back in that race.

mav, do u happen to live on the sunny coast??????????

Mav on Royal Rapid I would think he would need it slow atleast to be a chance if heavy big chance.

Live in brissie,,Rapid but the Sunny Coast is only up the road...
grecolo scratched...looks llike im on Diamonds with not a heap of confidence ,,,,Rumbird the danger..
Hard race for helter Skelter ,,hes a flyer but there does seem a few better than him in that race..
