York r4 Startthefriar; More of a sentimental tip with our own runner debuting but if he handles the quirky York track we expect him to be in the finish on his work at home.
York r7 Lowlands Boy; Durrant runner who has shown enough to be a good chance here.
York Jockey Challenge Clint Johnson-Porter; He rides all 3 tips above plus a couple of each way/ place chances. Clearly has the best book.

Best Bet Warwick Farm r6 Cordero; While it jumps in class, it drops in weight and is building an impeccable record especially at the track and distance.
Beaudesert r6 Aqua Delago; Suited by the drop back to 1200 and will be hard to catch.
Moonee Valley r3 Belwazi; Bounced back to form and stays at it's fav track and distance. If it crosses from awkward gate will take catching.
Bunbury Quaddie (r5-8); With Sentimental Friend (r6) and You Am I the best on the program but too short for my liking we will stand them out in quaddie instead.

Best Bet Pinjarra r8 Great Again; Has been freshened after failing to get the job done as an odds on fav at Ascot in December. Very hard to beat back in this grade.
Benalla r2 Chloebell; Ran on ok last start off a very slow tempo. This is a very weak race and if she is going to progress further she should be winning.
Gold Coast r3 Alleviator; Trial performances, especially times indicate it will be hard to beat on debut at home track against limited opposition.
Ballarat r3 Roobeena; Trained by leading 2yo Stable and ran a very encouraging 2nd at Flemington on debut. This is not easy with loads of potential in the race but has to be hardest to beat.
Multi; Something small on all 4 to win at $31.85 (tabtouch)

Multi : Something
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.

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.
