Best Bet Doomben r7 Pierata; Thrashed inferior opposition last start and drawn to get gun run.
Doomben r3 Ef Troop; Only 5 2yo's but 3 of them have serious potential. Sticking with the local who won tough on debut then won a 3 horse trial by 20 lengths more importantly in quick time with plenty left in the tank.
Randwick r2 Victorem; 3yo with serious potential who trialled brilliantly for his return. Is too good for these but will need a good ride in a hot speed race.
Randwick r3 Broadside; Odds on in a staying race but if there is such a thing as a form good thing then this is it.

Best Bet Mornington r6 Civil Disobedience ; Been going close in harder races.
Mornington r2 Alnaas; The extra distance and fitness look ideal here.
Mornington r3 Prevailing Winds; Can easily tie form in with Saturday winners. Very hard to beat.
Mornington r5 She's Popular; 3yo filly taking on older horses but has plenty of upside while the others have reached their level.
Wyong r1 Montreal; First up for a year but has been backed into Winx like odds based on huge potential it showed on debut and trials leading in. Multi banker.
Wyong r7 Cajetan; Five weeks between runs over 1600m shouldn't be a problem for this stable. If finds front it is too classy for this lot.

Rosehill r1 Gongs; One of the most impressive 2yo's to be produced so far and looks too good again.
Doomben r6 Sheza Lily; Have tipped this horse successfully last few starts and see no reason it can't win again.

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.

Ascot r3 The River; One of many short priced Pike rides as is the norm. Was the states best 2yo before things went pear shaped. Back in the good books first up when too good for a stronger field.

Inters Heat 7
Out to the 2536m and 3rd race in 8 days for contestents. Those assured of a start in next weeks final looking for as soft a run as possible, others trying to force there way in with maximum points adds more tricks to finding the winners. Chicago Bull draws the pole and impossible not to tip but 1.24 no thanks. Tiger Tara is tough as nails and a genuine threat if it wants to be in the breeze.

Soho Tribeca is safely through to the final and drawn poorly but remains fav. Lennytheshark very dissapointing at Bunbury but too good to dismiss and San Carlo gets the pole to show us if he is up too this class. Very tricky and not keen to bet but sticking with Soho Tribeca.

Lazarus is series fav and yet to win a heat. While he really should here at $1.16 I'm suprised at final price as his impressive 2nd was at the bigger track at Bunbury.

Wa's other hope Chicago Bull is $1.26. My concern is he is much better driven with a sit off a hot tempo. From this draw over 2100m he is probably going to try and lead. Hard not to tip but not backable. Dangers are Have Faith In Me, especially if it crosses and San Carlo.
