Weekend Winners

Best Bet Flemington r4 Addison ; Breeding and racing pattern suggest this lightly raced 4yo will love the 2000m and should add to it's already brilliant strike rate.

Flemington r2 Last Week; Couldn't get past heavily backed stablemate last start but beat everything else comfortably. Positive jockey change and has upside.

Doomben r5 Tarzan; Very speedy type with solid record who should be very difficult to get past.

Ascot r2 Jackpot Prince; Promising young stayer who gets to 2100m 2nd up in a very winnable race if ready.

Ascot r4 Friar Fox ; Has shown a big turn of foot at both career starts. This is biggest test but $8 each way is very nice to my eye.

Ascot r5 Taxadermy; Lightly raced 7yo going for 5 in a row. Won with arrogance first up and can handle the step up each way.

Best Bet; Warwick Farm r4 Witches; First run for new stable was impressive, winning with a fast finishing burst. This looks just as winnable.

 * Moe r3 Lord Mornington; Yet to put in a bad run and is placed to break through.

* Moe r4 Don't Dismiss; Likes to lead and only caught late in a 58. Back to maiden grade makes him hard to catch.

* Moe r5 Mister Jay; Was heavily backed and won accordingly on debut. Can progress further.

* There has been solid early support for rivals in all 3 moe races so a market watch is advised. I still like my selections but money talks.

Ascot r2 Silver Roller; Made a mid race move and bolted in at first try at a trip. Was a weak race but has a master trainer of stayers and this field isn't vintage either.

Strathalbyn r8 Scarlett Fox; Dropping in grade, has good track & distance stats and powerful trainer/jockey combination.

Best Bet Gold Coast r9 Viddora; Has raced very competitively against the best sprinters going around. Races well fresh and has a big class edge here.

Gold Coast r1 Dinnigan ; Ran 2nd to Pierata in a group 3 then lobs here as an odds on fav in a maiden.

Gold Coast r6 Care to Think; His racing pattern often gets him in a pickle but he is going so well he still wins. He has a horror gate but is too talented not to tip.

Gold Coast r7 Pierata; Vets have cast a doubt on his soundness pre race which is very concerning when tipping a hot favourite. I can only assume if he is still in the field he is 100% and if that's the case he will go almighty close. A star in the making.

Inters Final

After 3 rounds of heats crammed into a week, then a week to analyze the all important barrier draw, the ultimate test of stamina is here. Ive narrowed it down to three winning chances in what shapes as a classic contest.

1. Tiger Tara $5.50 ; No one would of left the barrier draw happier than Tiger's connections. A tough stayer that won one heat leading all the way keeping Lazarus at bay and placed by breezing in the others.  Has the speed to lead and most likely hold Lazarus early again as doubt it can take a sit and out sprint him.

2. Lazarus $2.15 ; Has been fav all series despite only winning one heat. Best draw tonight but will most likely have to do all the work in the breeze. Getting past Tiger and holding the swooper's out late won't be easy but he is a champion pacer with a phenomenal trainer .

10. Chicago Bull $3.90; WA's best hope with champion WA father/son Hall combination. He's little but has the heart of a bull and has a habit of peaking in finals and winning. Two soft heat wins from favourable barriers and a held up 3rd. Can't see a scenario where it isn't leaders back or 3 back pegs and will be extremely dangerous from there.
