Best Bet Northam r7 Cristal Dane; Races like the 1300m will suit and wide barrier offset by racing pattern of getting back and flooding home. Has more upside than these.
Northam r4 Drink The Rainbow; Track and distance stats indicate she is clearly the one to beat. From the right stable and very suprised it’s not favourite.
Caulfield r2 Junipal; Was expecting a wetter track which she ploughed through and won her maiden by ten latest. Her previous efforts were still good behind smart types and remains hardest to beat.
Caulfield Early Quaddie (r1-4) fld, 7, 7, 2 6 $14 for 100%
Caulfield r8 Lucky For All; Happy with the jockey change. He is a very wayward horse and nothing against John Allen just sometimes differen’t riders suit different horses. 2000m 3rd up is perfect, any track downgrades help but more importantly if he puts it together he blows them away.
Caulfield r5 main quaddie (r5-8) 1, 1 2 4 6 7, 3 12, 3. $10 for 100%
Randwick r3 Savacool; The track seems to be drying rapidly which helps and her form says she is ready to peak and win.

Randwick r7 Tactical Advantage; Trekking keeps franking the form and trainer is unstoppable at moment. Maps to get a sweet run.
Geelong r10 Tamasa; Unlucky 2nd to Haunted is well and truly the right form and I’m still haunted by it’s narrow defeat in SA. Redemption time.
Muswellbrook r6 Americana Magic; Gave none other than Smart Melody 6.5kgs and a run for her money with 61kgs. My only concern is they are giving us $1.95. I rate him $1.40 so very keen but anxious to know why the bookies are taking him on.

Best Bet Caulfield r7 El Dorado Dreaming; I haven’t seen a horse trial better for her long awaited return. At latest she ran past In Her Time who ran a cracking 3rd against the best sprinters going around yesterday. Damian Lane goes back on and I’m gobsmacked where getting $8.50 each way. If stablemate Smart Melody starts to tire over 1400m, she will be running home hard.

Best Bet Randwick r8 High Bridge; 8yr old Imported hurdler who has won two midweek staying races before tackling this group 1. He has only had 15 starts, winning 8 of them, handles good 3’s to heavy ten’s and has won from 1900m to 3300m jump races! It’s a big test but the acceleration he showed with 60kgs at the midweeks after early traffic problems was enormous and Waller wasn’t afraid to mention the Melbourne Cup after his first up victory. Huge each way chance and I’m even going to have a nibble at the $51 in cup markets.
Randwick r4 Egg Tart; Had a boom on her as a 3yo before numerous setbacks but she seems to be back with a vengeance. Two brilliant runs this campaign and now gets to a more suitable trip.
Mornington r3 I am Queen; Very versatile in that can be ridden back or forward. Has them covered on ability, waiting on track conditions as prefer on dry and there is rain predicted that hasn’t arrived at time of writing.
Mornington 7 Hush Writer & Haripour; Hush Writer is being aimed at better races than this and was very brave in defeat in a better race at 2nd start in Australia. Haripour is progressive and has a nice turn of foot. He is flying but this is harder than what he has been beating. They are paying well enough to back both.
Morphetville r2 Holy Command; The claim and drop in class makes him look like the good thing of the day.
Morphetville r5 Heptagon; Franked his strong Melbourne form with a strong win over Stablemate here last start. Hopefully Holy Command has franked the form in r2 already.

Best Bet Moonee Valley r3 Trap For Fools; Ive been very slow to jump back on our ATM machine this prep but it’s impossible not to like him over this track and distance tonight. Looks a moral but those are famous last words!
Moonee Valley Early Quaddie (r1-4) field, 1, 3, 1 4 $18 for 100%
Moonee Valley r5 Leonardo Da Hinchi; Pushing the extra smart Brutal all the way is very strong form for this. Races on speed and will be extremely hard to get past.
Moonee Valley r6 Golden Halo; Will need a fair track where you can make ground but I trust Lane to pilot her on the right path and her finishing burst will have her right in the finish.

Best Bet Gawler r2 Double Denman; $2 looks overs for a horse that has been competitive against some very smart types.
Rosehill r2 She’s Furline; Consistent, talented filly that will get back and finish off hard so small field suits.
Rosehill r3 Girl Tuesday; Bred to be a superstar and nothing in her two wins to suggest she won’t get there. Tricky draw but simply has too much ability.
Rosehill Early Quaddie (r1-4); 1 2 3 , 1 4, 1, 5 6 7 8 10. $30 for 100%
Rosehill r7 Resin; Is dropping from Saturday grade where she ran out off puff late, first up on heavy ground to the midweeks and drawn to get run of race.
Flemington r5 Haunted; Has won 3 and placed twice from 6 starts including top win first up. A lot of these have ability but also untrustworthy habits whereas he is always switched on.
Ipswich r1 Conquermore; Started fav and had excuses in town last start. Wary of the strong market support for Jami Lady but she was very green on debut and tipping he will give her a fright.
Ipswich r3 Yeahnah; Meets much easier opposition here and looks the one.
Belmont r1 The Nicconian; I do prefer him over 1200m but the nose 2nd to Mantime reads well for this and should get every chance from gate 3.

Best Bet Caulfield r2 Lucky For All; The money just continues to pour in for this one and I agree. Should of won first up except for poor ride and hanging in. It does still do a lot wrong but on raw ability it can easily beat these on way to much better races.
Rosehill r5 Youngstar; No one would dispute she is the best horse in this going forward. Some doubt she has the sprint left in her legs for 1500m being on a cups campaign but I’m backing her class to give them windburn. Great odds for mine at $3.30
