Caulfield Horse Racing Tips Victoria Australia Saturday 30th March 2013

Race 1 – 1700mtrs Open Handicap – 12.30pm

No 7 Goldoni $3.80 having his first Aussie start went well I thought. Jumped poorly and pulled early before finally getting going the last 150mtrs. Sure to be better for the run and looked good when he stretched out. No 3 Prizum $6 will be better for the two runs back this preparation. Can run this distance out and the 3kg claim a big help. No 2 Gold Sand $7.50 and No 6 Cosmic Causeway $5 include in multiples.

Race 2 – 1200mtrs 2yo Open Handicap – 01.10pm

This is a nice 2yo race. No 5 Weinholt $3.50 stepped up into Group 2 class last start and did too much in front and left himself a sitting duck, back in grade and should give this a shake. No 10 Australia Day $5.50 is a South Australian horse sneaking across the border. I watched both her runs a few times and she looks nice. She had no luck her last start, no help from the jockey. No 2 Trust in a Gust $6 and No 1 Hard Stride $5 dead heated last start, both found the line well late.

Race 3 – 1400mtrs 4yo & up Mares Open Handicap – 01.50pm

No 7 Sweet Ella $7.50 much improved second up. She didn’t get clear running until the 150mtr mark and then found the line well. She should be tiptop here. No 10 Aneto $6 caught my eye they way he found the line last start. At a good weight here. No 8 Total Attraction $13 is three runs back and sure to tiptop here. No 3 Manhattan Maid $5.50 is hard to follow but on her day she is smart.

Race 4 – 1400mtrs 3yo Open Handicap – 02.30pm

I am going with an outsider here. No 9 Forget $21 I thought he really needed that run. Should have tightened up a lot since that run. No 2 Maybe Discreet $15 is another that will have benefitted from her run back from the spell. She was a little disappointing to be truthful but stepping out in distance will suit here. No 3 Pronto Pronto $8.50 just forget last start as had a shocker, is much better than that run. No 4 Crystal Web $4.60 last couple of runs have been very good and on that form a big threat.

Race 5 – 1000mtrs Open Handicap – 03.10pm

It is hard to go past No 7 African Pulse $3.30, always goes well fresh and with the claim is surely going to be hard to beat. No 3 Stratcombe $11 at juicy odds here as goes well fresh, usually sits up on the speed and I think a good each-way bet. No 8 Dream Face $11 just ran out of legs first up from the spell. Sure to be fitter and the claim a big help. No 6 Rescue Mission $4.20 with the 3kg claim sure to be a threat here.

Race 6 – 1400mtrs Open Victoria Handicap (Group 3) – 03.50pm

No 4 Launay $5 is racing well. He has come back from the spell with two good runs. The month break isn’t a worry as he needs a good break between his runs. No 8 Sertorius $4.40 goes well fresh and need to respect but this is a good field. No 5 Parthian $21 is at nice odds. On his day he can run a handy race and first up not a lot of luck and sure to be better for the run back. No 6 Under The Eiffel $7 if they back her up from last week, keep her safe in the multiples.

Race 7 – 2000mtrs Open Handicap Easter Cup (Group 3) – 04.30pm

No 2 Jet Away $3 made an impressive debut in Australia. Came from a long way back and found the line really well. Looked very good. No 3 Folding Gear $7 is three runs back now and out to the 10 furlongs and will appreciate that. I think should be around the finish. No 7 Keep Cool $8 has been racing well, this is a step up in class but with this weight, could surprise. No 4 Callanish $5 will come into this is the track is wet.

Race 8 – 2000mtrs 3yo Open Handicap – 05.07pm

No 1 Bass Strait $3.60 looks the class horse here. Last start got galloped on so a better run that it looks on paper. In this class should give a big shake. No 2 Kerthos $7.50 a big step up in class but both wins to date have been good. A couple of outsiders for multiple players. No 8 The Principal $17 and No 18 Hard Marker $21 to me are not that bad at juicy odds.

Best Bet: Race 1 – No 7 Goldoni $3.80

Best Eachway Bet: Race 3 - No 7 Sweet Ella $7.50

Best Outsider: Race 4 - No 9 Forget $21

Quadrella Numbers: 6,7 / 4,8 / 2,4 / 1,2,5,8,18 for $40 a full unit

Bendigo Horse Racing Tips Victoria Australia Thursday 27th March 2013

Race 1 – 1000mtrs 3yo Maiden Plate Set Weights – 01.00pm

No 5 Imprimis may back up here from 8 days ago. She is a nice horse. 70K in the bank without a win. Two places in listed company. Forget last start as she is much better than this suggests. The claim a big help but the jockey doesn’t have a great strike rate. Big chance for him to put a win on the board here. No 4 North Atlantic Ice returns from his first spell. He has winkers on here and I am sure he will be better schooled. No 1 All Fives a decent debut before being put away and sure to come back better here.

Race 2 – 1100mtrs 3yo & up Maiden Plate (SW) – 01.35pm

No 7 Mystic Mover is coming up scratched but I see nothing official yet. She made a solid debut, will be better for that run and a big chance here. No 2 Best Per Capita is unseen to date. On breeding respect and keep a close eye on the markets.

Race 3 – 1300mtrs 2yo Open Handicap – 02.10pm

Hard race here with a few unseen. No 2 Self Sense made a solid debut, was then put away and returns here. My worry is the weight and if he can run this out but he looks a nice horse . No 3 Kincaple Chief was green on debut and needed that run. No support in markets and I do think we will see a better horse here. No 1 Crime Fighter is a little hard to judge, run back from the spell looked okay, found the line well and just missed out.

Race 4 – 2400mtrs 3yo & up Maiden Plate (SW) – 02.45pm

No 7 McNulty returned from his first preparation with a solid run. Is going to be much better for that run and a big chance to get his first win here. Next, I am going with three horses that raced each other last start here. No 1 Forty Twenty did a lot of work last start, leading from around the 1500mtr mark, fought hard to the line. Third up is sure to be tiptop here. No 2 Inala Champ has been up a while but racing well.

Race 5 – 1100mtrs 0-62 Handicap – 03.20pm

No 3 Fratianne returns from here spell and she can finish her races off well. Markets will be a good guide to where she is at. No 4 Tap on the Shoulder back from a 12 week let up, put in some good runs last preparation. No 2 General Hap might find this too long.

Race 6 – 1500mtrs 0-72 Handicap – 04.00pm

No 6 Livery is having his first Australian start for the Hickmott stable. If starts need to keep a close eye on markets. No 3 Aurum Spirit backing up from a week ago has been up a while this preparation but racing well so respect. No 5 Oneman Wolfpack third run back this preparation and should be around the finish. No 9 Prior will be better for the run back from the spell.

Race 7 – 2200mtrs 0-62 Handicap – 04.40pm

No 6 By His Design if he starts here with the 4kg claim I think a good chance. No 7 Knucklemanna last three runs have been very good and on that form respect. No 2 Somebody’s Image has been up a while but racing well.

Race 8 – 1300mtrs 3yo & up Fillies & Mares 0-62 Handicap – 05.20pm

No 5 Spitfire Lady is better than her two runs back to date. Is up in weight but back in grade and should be around the finish. No 6 Alluring Belle a decent debut and should benefit from that run. No 3 Geology both runs this preparation on better tracks have been good and another with a chance here. No 8 Madam Archer keep an eye on markets, if any good support I would follow.

Tuesday 26 March 2013

Sandown Hillside Horse Racing Tips Victoria Australia Wednesday 27th March 2013

Race 1 – 9oomtrs 2yo Open Handicap – 01.35pm

We are getting a look at some nice horses here. Keep an eye on the markets closely. No 2 Il Cavallo we seen once back in a trial in October and looked good, nominated for the G3 Maribyrnong Plate but scratched. Was put away until now and my clocker says he looks good. Is nominated for Saturday at Caulfield his home track. No 1 Hebrung is nicely bred with her sire a handy sprinter as a 2yo.

Race 2 – 1000mtrs 3yo 0-72 Handicap – 02.10pm

A nice handicap race here. No 2 Union Gap $5 returns from his spell. After breaking his maiden duck he went onto a Listed and then Group 3 race and raced well in both. My worry is the weight, an apprentice with a claim would have been my idea but the trainer is obviously confident he can carry the weight. No 9 Double Dee $3.60 is handy at the weights here and top jockey aboard. Is racing well, I have watched all three runs this preparation and should give this a big shake. No 3 Vital $15 she returned from the spell with a very average run but there was no support in markets. She looked well underdone to me. Keep an eye on the mounting yard and markets as she is a nice horse when right. No 4 Beyond Infinity $4.40 returned from the spell with a nice win. This is a big step up in grade but respect on that run.

Race 3 – 1800mtrs 3yo & up Maiden Plate (SW) – 02.45pm

This is a very open maiden race. No 14 Heyday I liked her debut run. She came wide down the straight and made good ground. She is sure to be better for that run and also appreciate the extra metres. No 15 Inflection was in the same race as Heyday last start and another that run on well. No 16 Maraatib to date she is a 700K failure. She is a nice horse, she ran 2^nd in the Group 2 Wakeful last preparation. They put the blinkers in her here for the first time. Maybe this will be her day.

Race 4 – 1600mtrs 3yo & up Mares 0-82 Handicap – 03.20pm

A nice mares race here. No 3 Thorn Star $3.20 stepped up to group company last start and the run was better than it looks on paper. Got held up in traffic and didn’t get any room to run on down the straight. Became unbalanced when tightened as well. Form before was solid. No 2 Esprit Rossa $4.20 first time over the mile here, she looks like she could run this out. She still does a lot wrong in her races, like she is still a little green. No 5 Graceland $13 is another out to the mile for the first time. She is racing well and need to respect. No 7 Vixen Hustler $5.50 another that must respect.

Race 5 – 1600mtrs 0-72 Handicap – 04.00pm

No 6 Escado $2.70 back in this class and at this weight is a good chance here. First up from the spell a solid run. Was well supported and should be tiptop here. No 8 Stockton $8 should lead this and get a chance to dictate terms. Will take running down. No 2 Van Rossum $9.50 with the 3kg claim comes into calculations and also No 3 Tilla Bell Rings $3.80 even with the 59kgs, respect.

Race 6 – 1300mtrs 3yo & up Fillies & Mares 0-72 Handicap – 04.40pm

No 4 Mama’s Choice $5.50 can go well fresh. This is a big drop in class for her. She has been a disappointment since her debut but respect. No 11 Marielle $8 back against her on grade here and last start a good effort as she led, on the speed and this is not her usual tactics. I think No 5 Glenmaura $4.40 will try and get across and lead so Mairelle should get a nice sit. No 2 Euphorbia $4.60 goes alright fresh from the spell.

Race 7 – 1300mtrs 0-82 Handicap – 05.20pm

I am willing to risk current favourite No 10 Rugged Cross $3.30. Having first Australian start, the word is he looks good but I want to see for myself first. No 11 Cross of Gold $8 was a 950K purchase that hasn’t lived up to breeding to date. Call me a fool but I am giving him another chance here. He is light and in this company a good chance. No 1 Festina Lente $6 returns after a mandatory spell for a bled, this is a drop in grade and why the big weight. The 60kgs is a worry but a nice horse. No 3 Instalment $10 was a smart horse as a 3yo and then injuries hit. Returned with a couple of average runs from the long spell but if he is right a big chance here.

Best Bet : Race 5 - No 6 Escado $2.70

Best Eachway: Race 7 - No 11 Cross of Gold $8

Best Outsider: Race 2 - No 3 Vital $15

Monday 25 March 2013

Seymour Horse Racing Tips Victoria Australia Tuesday 26th March 2013

Advice: Keep a very close eye on the markets in the maiden races. Follow any good support in the markets or keep your money in your pocket. There are a few dual acceptors going around here, so could be a few scratching.

Race 1 – 1109mtrs 3yo & up Maiden Plate Set Weights – 01.35pm

No 3 Henry Hoo is trained at the track and did show some promise last preparation. No 4 Abbey Bell didn’t have a lot of luck her first start, she returns here from the paddock and they put blinkers on her. No 6 Rasmeyaa will have benefitted from her first few runs and returning from the paddock should be better schooled, good breeding. No 5 Fighting Flyer is well bred as well.

Race 2 – 1612mtrs 3yo & up Fillies & Mares Maiden Plate (SW) – 02.10pm

Another very hard race with many unknowns. Keep a close eye on the markets. No 8 Kaznjian was well supported back from the spell and nearly saluted. Last start not too bad and looks to me that she will appreciate the extra metres. No 11 Volume One was well supported last start but got caught wide in a solidly run race. I cannot see much speed in this race. Forgive and give a chance as she looks nice.

Race 3 – 1412mtrs 3yo Maiden Plate (SW) – 02.45pm

Another hard maiden here. No 6 Overdrawn was a little green on debut. Raced a little keenly and sure to be better for that run. No 2 Befitting the barrier is a worry as tardy from the barriers but with blinkers on for the first time, maybe this will help. If he jumps well should be around the finish. No 5 Lyndhurst has drawn wide but his first up run not too bad, he looks a nice horse. The 300K No 11 Alluring Belle finally made her debut and it wasn’t too bad, she looked a little underdone to me. Should be fitter here.

Race 4 – 1109mtrs 0-58 Handicap – 03.20pm

Another very average race here. No 3 Honey Bee Faithful has been freshened and racing well with blinkers on. No 9 Engrave is not without a chance.

Race 5 – 1309mtrs 0-68 Handicap – 03.55pm

I can see a good 5 genuine chances here, not an easy race. No 5 Stynes forget first up from the spell run. He over-raced and was a real handful. Goes well at this track and he looked like he had plenty in the tank last start but copped a good check trying to find clear running. No 9 Emergency Ward raced well last preparation. Came back and just forget that run. Over-raced and got held up most of the straight. No 10 Lucy Lil gets the chance to lead from this barrier and could dictate terms. With the claim could take some running down. No 8 Obligation not without a chance.

Race 6 – 1612mtrs 0-62 Handicap – 04.35pm

This looks the best race on paper to me. No 2 Test The Best drops back to the mile where I think he is better suited. Can carry weight and a good chance here. No 4 Beliveau returned from the spell and needed the run. Should be more forward here and will appreciate the extra metres. No 5 Compound another with a run under the belt and should be better for it.

Race 7 – 1412mtrs 0-52 Handicap – 05.15pm

No 6 Princess Deauville I watched her three races to date and she is still learning but she goes alright. If puts it altogether here will give this a big shake. No 1 Harpsund will be better for the run back from the spell. No 4 Daneson a big ask first up, but goes alright fresh and if forward could give this a shake.

My Suggestion: Keep your money in your pocket for a better day. If you are having a punt keep a close eye on the markets and for any good moves.

Friday 22 March 2013

Caulfield Horse Racing Tips Victoria Australia Saturday 23rd March 2013

Race 1 – 1600mtrs 2yo Open Set Weights – 12.30pm

No 1 Northern Jewel $1.90 is short but last start was a much better effort in group company. Got well back from the wide barrier before coming home well late. The only other threat to me is No 3 Gravitational $2.70 is definitely a horse learning but showed more promise last start.

Race 2 – 2000mtrs 0-89 Handicap – 01.10pm

I cannot see a genuine leader here and this will hurt current favourite I believe No 8 Hula Lua $3.70. She is racing very well but is more suited when the speed is on and can grind over them at the end. I think No 3 Whisper Downs $4.40 will have a good chance here to put another win on the board. Has been a long preparation but still racing very well. No 7 Second King $7 is light with the claim and racing well back from the spell but this was in easier company.

Race 3 – 1100mtrs 3yo & up Fillies & Mares Open Handicap – 01.50pm

No 4 Elite Elle $2.05 is short but I have already backed at a price a little better than this. She impressed during her last preparation and some solid runs in group company. Is back from the spell here and sure to be hard to hold out at this weight. No 1 Platelet $4 is such a warhorse and just doesn’t run a bad race. My worry is the weight. I am not sure why Weir didn’t go for an apprentice. No 2 Miss Bindi $13 first up and sure to go well but would like the sting out of the ground.

Race 4 – 1400mtrs Open Handicap – 02.30pm

No 2 Under The Eiffel $3.20 has been racing very well, has had a three week break since returning from Tassie and meets No 4 British General $2.90 some 2.5kgs better. BG is a smart horse but has to prove himself around the bend again. No 7 Dubawi Gold $4.80 is light and will get a chance to dictate terms from the No1 barrier.

Race 5 – 1400mtrs 3yo Fillies 0-72 Handicap – 03.10pm

This is a hard race. No 10 Real Delight $4.40 is the current favourite but a little hard to judge. Her win on debut was good on the heavy track as she hit the line very well. We will have to wait and see how that form translates onto a better track. I like No 6 Hamam $4.40 as last start in group company did a lot of work chasing a fast leader, didn’t fold and should be hard to beat here. No 1 Lator Gator $4.40 does have weight but finished off last start well, so extra metres should suit. Stablemate No 3 Sino Eagle $7.50 is one I would include for multiples.

Race 6 – 1200mtrs Open Handicap (Listed) – 03.50pm

I am going for a little value here with No 7 Club Command $9. He hasn’t been in as good as races as some of the others here but is racing well and should get a good run as I think Solsay and Forty Thirty will lead at a good speed. No 1 Ready to Rip $4.80 a group proven horse and can carry weight, need to respect but this is a big task. No 3 Go The Knuckle $8.50 usually jumps poorly so barrier not a worry but will need a little luck with traffic but sure to be running on. No 5 Undeniably $4.80 last 5 runs in group and listed company have all been pretty good and need to respect.

Race 7 – 1700mtrs 0-82 Handicap – 04.30pm

No 8 Word Gets Around $4 with the claim sure to give this a shake. Is racing well and if doesn’t get stuck in traffic should be able to wind up. No 10 Xavi $3.40 is a big threat, racing very well. No 9 Valedictorian $15 with the claim should be around at the finish. No 12 Spelldancer $9 been racing well in easier company.

Thursday 21 March 2013

Moonee Valley Horse Racing Tips Victoria Australia Friday 22nd March 2013

Race 1 – 3000mtrs Special Conditions Handicap – 05.45pm

No 1 You Think So $3.50 has 60kgs but looks the best horse here for me by a bit. Loves this track and will be hard to beat. I hope they don’t lead but take a sit and get a cart for as long as they can in the race. No 7 Toranos $7.50 last few runs have been decent and here at this weight should be able to give this a shake at the end. No 5 Gotta Take Care $9 has the runs under the belt here and back in weight and should be in this at the end. No 6 Aggregator $5.50 has never been over this distance but one for the multiples for me.

Race 2 – 2040mtrs 0-78 Handicap – 06.15pm

No 4 Fresh Light is racing well. Is up in grade and weight again but must respect in current form. No 8 Twin Soul having her first start in Australia last start and not too bad at all. Comes in here 2.5kgs better against Fresh Light and was doing best work too late last start. No 7 Major Coup is third run back from the spell and looked like he wanted more distance last start after coming home well late.

Race 3 – 1200mtrs 3yo Open Set Weights – 06.45pm

No 5 Chosen Moment $8.50 both runs back this preparation have been good and here they go with blinkers for the first time. No 3 Crystal Web $6.50 a much better second up run last start and have to think he has trained on as well. No 6 Flamberge $8.50 seems better down the straight than the bend but keep safe in multiples. No 8 Generalife $3.80 is a horse I would hope to have improved while in the paddock during the spell. Keep an eye on markets.

Race 4 – 1600mtrs 3yo Fillies Open Set Weights (Listed) – 07.15pm

No 3 You’re So Good $2.50 comes into this in good form. Last start they rode her more quietly as she usually likes to be on the speed. From this barrier if jumps well can go for the lead, if not can try and settle midfield. I think will be very hard to beat. No 5 Hai Lil $5.50 steps up in class here but drops weight and should match up here a long way. No 7 Grand Daughter $21 another with a big jump in class but she should be able to handle it. No 4 Summerbliss $7.50 might find this a little short but proven in group and listed company.

Race 5 – 955mtrs Open Handicap – 07.45pm

This is a very open sprint here. I could see a handful at the finish. No 1 Kulgrinda $5 has weight and drawn wide but need to respect the horse first up and at this track. No 6 Fab Fevola $4.80 has drawn well to lead here, drops weight stepping up into open company and could take some running down. No 3 Vatican $5 and No 4 Esprit De Bullet $6.50 can both run solid races when foot is on the till.

Race 6 – 1600mtrs 4yo & up Mares Sunline Stakes Open WFA (Group 2) – 08.20pm

No 2 Spirit Song $4 first up from the spell not a lot of luck. Second up much better and sure to be spot on here in fitness. Should be able to carry this weight no worries. No 6 There’s Only One $6.50 should appreciate the extra metres here. Should be primed here but barrier a worry as gets back and could find a bit of traffic. No 11 Tavarnelle $10 should get a very good run from this barrier. Will be better for her first up run and one at odds to respect. No 13 Family Crest $15 will need luck from this barrier as she likes to lead or be on the speed and this could prove hard from way out here.

Race 7 – 1200mtrs 0-78 Handicap – 08.55pm

This is a very hard race, hardest of the night for me. No 4 Mecir is having first Melbourne start since coming across from Sydney. I watched 6 or 7 runs and I believe if this horse gets a clean run a chance with what I have seen. No 7 Our Protocol is racing well but a horrible barrier here. Will have to do it tough but respect.

Race 8 – 1200mtrs William Reid Stakes Open WFA (Group 1) – 9.55pm

The great Black Caviar is having what looks like her last start here in Victoria and I will be trackside after flying in tomorrow morning. Will be in Victoria for 3 days and am so looking forward to watching this amazing mare run. No 6 Black Caviar $1.05 after watching her return at Flemington with some apprehension as to her recovery from the Ascot trip, to see her break the track record sent a shiver down the spine. I would love to tell you to get out to the track to see her but it is sold out. This is a once in a lifetime horse. Not taking anything from the other modern day champs, like Sunline, Makyebe Diva, So You Think and so forth. For minor placings. No 7 Karuta Queen $26 could give Moody a quinella here. Will be the leader with Caviar shadowing every step of the way. Could hold on for second. No 3 Spirit of Boom $21 will give his all. First 4 players, No 2 Luckygray $26 first interstate runs was disappointing but give a chance.

Best Bet: Race 4 – No 3 You’re So Good $2.50

Best Eachway Bet: Race 3 - No 5 Chosen Moment $8.50

Best Outsider: Race 6 - No 11 Tavarnelle $10

Flemington Horse Racing Tips Victoria Australia Saturday 9th March 2013

I am a professional punter living outside Australia. I punt for a living and for years been helping my mates out with my tips. I have friends on the inside and a professional at reading form. I watch 100’s of videos each week to pick my winners. I only bet on Victorian races. At times when Victorian horses are interstate I will offer tips at those meetings. I have decided to share my tips, hopefully to help the normal punter win a few bucks on the weekend. Remember, never bet more than you can afford to lose. If gambling is a problem contact professional help in your state, city or country. Victoria Horse Racing supports responsible gambling initiatives. Good luck if having a punt and remember to gamble responsibly.

Race 1 – 1200mtrs 2yo Fillies Open Set Weights (Group 3) – 12.10pm

No 2 Montsegur $2.40 was 2 deep all the way last start and 5 wide in the straight. Respect this horse. No 6 Anatina $5.50 I like her debut race, late support and the winner of that race went on to run a good race at this track last start. No 1 Bulbala $4.80 didn’t have much luck back from the 70 day let up 2nd up, was wide and did a few things wrong. Looked good in her trial a few weeks back so keep safe.

Race 2 – 1100mtrs 3yo Open Handicap (Listed) – 12.45pm

No 2 She’s a Fox $2.50 is the form horse if she brings her Sydney form with her. A good outside eachway bet could be No 10 Flamberge $21 as he has been green and still learning and if he puts it all together could surprise here. No 1 Lankan Rupee $5 back from his first spell and sure to filled out and must respect this breeding.

Race 3 – 1400mtrs 2yo Open Set Weights (Group 2) – 01.20pm

No 12 Great Esteem $7 has drawn wide and this will make it a hard race for him but I do like his first run and should be better for that run. No 6 Weinholt $5 improved a lot last start and looked good winning. Have to respect the stable and breeding but this is a big step up in class. No 14 Parfuri $13 I like the look of this horse and I think he will be better for his first up run. Also a better track all pluses for me and a good outsider. No 2 Shamus Award $8 I do think will struggle running this out but keep safe in multiples.

Race 4 – 1400mtrs 3yo & up Open Set Weights (Group 2) – 01.55pm

No 7 Wall Street $4.40 is back to set weights and should give this a big shake. No 2 Budriguez $8 and No 6 Callinash $5 should lead this up and both will take chasing down. No 5 Dany The Fox $7.50 is back up weight but an honest horse and keep safe in multiples.

Race 5 – 1400mtrs 3yo Fillies Open Set Weights (Group 2) – 02.35pm

No 1 Norzita $1.80 is short but a smart horse and group 1 winner and first up win from the spell was good, hard to go past. No 2 Members Joy $9 is racing very well and have to include in the chances. No 3 Meliora $7 ran them off their feet last start, should lead here and take chasing down. No 10 Petite Diablesse $13 an outsider for your multiples.

Race 6 – 1200mtrs Newmarket Open Hcp (Group 1) – 3.15pm

No 2 Moment of Change $2.80 a good run back from the spell against stable mate Black Caviar last start. He really came on last preparation and if trained on should be a big handful here. No 13 Better Than Ready $5 is light and Brisbane form solid and won well interstate at Randwick. This is a big step up in class. No 5 Spirit of Boom $17 is an honest horse in big races and was a good run first up from the spell. No 5 Barakey $5.50 a WA group 1 winner and undefeated in 11 starts, respect but this is a big ask if you ask me.

Race 7 – 2000mtrs Australian Cup Open Weight for Age (Group 1) – 4.00pm

This is a good field and look forward to the race. No 1 Green Moon $4.20 returned with a solid run and is sure to have tightened up the last few weeks. No 12 Fiveandahalfstar $7.50 at this weight is sure to be in this a long way. No 13 Super Cool $4.40 both runs this preparation have been very good and sure to give this a good shake. No 3 Glass Harmonium $9 another with a good first up run and will also appreciate the extra distance.

Race 8 – 1600mtrs 3yo & up Fillies & Mares Open Set Weight (Group 3) – 4.40pm

No 1 Spirit Song $5.50 was pretty unlucky last start, was a good run and need to respect here. No 13 Epingle $26 if Bossy gets her away well from the gate I think she could run a heck of a race. No 12 Perfectly Stunning $6.50 last two starts have been good wins and extra metres looks to suit. No 3 Hi Belle $6 was doing best work late last start.
