Best Bet Canterbury r4 You Make Me Smile; Led all the way and was untroubled here last start. Drawn the rail and very hard to run down again.

Doomben r7 Sienna Rose; Gets back and finishes like a bullet just like last win at this track and distance in a stronger field. Barrier 1 could be tricky but small field helps.

Sandown r4 Hang Man; Brilliant last to first winner first up from spell and won 2nd up last prep. Nice horse going places.

Sandown r7 Mystyko; 2nd to Star Fall up in grade before thrashing rivals in this grade latest.

Sandown r8 Good Idea; Promising well bred stayer that is ready for tougher assignment after bolting in lesser class last two. This stable very good at crossing the border with the right horse in the right race.

Best Bet Bunbury r6 Stairwaytothemoon; Been waiting for the blinkers to go on and her 2nd attempt at a trip looks the perfect scenario. Short enough with the Pike/Durrant factor but any price a winner!

Bunbury r5 Media Baron; Confident it’s the best horse in the race. Does it have the sprint in it’s legs to win over 1200m first up? Won a trial over 950m in good time so going to trust it’s class. 30% win 70% place is the safe option but I like going small wins only in that situation.

Bunbury Quaddie (r5-8); 2 4 7, 5, 3 6 8, 1 2 3 6 7 9 11 $63 for 100%

Warwick Farm r4 Prophet’s Thumb; Wins don’t come much softer than it’s first up win over 1000m from the back. 1200m looks ideal and most likely wins better races soon.

Warwick Farm r5 Royal Witness; Like the map (leads in all her races) and jockey (Rachel King) more than the horse but will be hard to run down over 1000m.

Sandown r3 More Sundays; Has a boom on him that is yet to be proven but bred to be group 1 class and have a feeling was a bit rushed last campaign into the big league. Market says he wins, suggest waiting for mounting yard mail/betting moves.

Sandown r4 Jenkins; Looks set for a good 3yo campaign based on it’s win first up. Better suited to 1600m and maps to get every chance close to the speed.

Multi * I Suggest top tote plus or Top fluc if available as think they might get out a little.

Use Stairwaytothemoon & Prophet’s Thumb as the bankers, add other legs for value at your peril !!

Sunday Prayers

Best Bet Bunbury r5 Time To Hunt; Always shown promise but rarely got it done. This prep it has put two wins together and although getting up in the weights, thrashed a similar field last time. Stable is on fire.

Sale r7 Cape Richards; Very competitive race with chances galore but this fellow is in my black book after missing start and making great ground first up. Won first 2 starts including this track and distance 2nd up last time in.

Weekend Winners

Best Bet Pinjarra r3 Excise Free; Showed blistering speed to put them away easily twice including this track and distance before being beaten for pace early in Saturday grade and running on into 2nd behind a smart one. Drawn the outside which is perfect for the straight. Rebel Yell did beat her home first up and is $11, worth a little saver.

Gold Coast r1 Terminology; Rich maiden that usually takes a smart one to win. She is coming from 3yo listed racing and deserves her place at top of the market.

Gold Coast r7 Outback Barbie; Forget last start where horror gate then all sorts of trouble saw her go round for practice. Her two starts prior were breathtaking and this was the main target anyway.

Flemington r3 Silentz; Small field and big track suits. Record indicates like most Weir runners that when he hits form he goes on with it. (15 for 6w 32nds).

Flemington r7 Order of Command; Tougher race but straight racing and D.Oliver is a winning recipe for this one. Down to 54kgs offsets class rise.

Randwick r1 Star Fall; Brings the best form and race fitness to this.

Randwick r8 Turnberry; Maps to get soft lead and jockey is on fire.

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%
