RACE 1
MY ULTIMATE CARTER (6) returns in this race having run well last time in on a number of occasions in strong races. If he is ready to go first up he can be driven aggressively and has shown last time in he is capable of doing the work.
O B LEGAL (8) draws to follow through on the back of a gate speed horse in Into The Mystic. He wasn’t far away two starts ago when sitting without cover and gains a much more suitable draw this time. He has always been a much better horse when able to find the fence
CHARGE AHEAD (9) took on some of the better 4YO races this time in and wasn’t beaten too far. He had no luck last start when caught wide while they were running. He should have options in the early stages.
CONEY ISLAND LOU (7) took on the open class race last start which was taken out by Regazzo Di Tilly. He was well beaten there but does drop significantly in grade and may appreciate being driven quietly early.
SELECTIONS: MY ULTIMATE CARRTER (6), O B LEGAL (8), CHARGE AHEAD (9), CONEY ISLAND LOU (7)
SUGGESTED BET: O B LEGAL (8) to win.
RACE 2
UDDERLY SWEET (4) scored an easy win in an easier race last start when leading all the way after zipping off the gate. He should have the speed to lead comfortably in this race. He is a horse that can seemingly get a bit keen which could be his undoing over the 2138 if there is pressure early.
FRENCH FRIES (8) is a high speed horse that will need plenty to go his way to get into the race from the inside back row draw. Since his second in the Qbred Breeders Final he hasn’t had a lot of luck and has drawn poorly on a number of occasions in strong races. With luck can bounce back.
FIRE RAISER (11) was an impressive winner two starts ago when able to run down one of his key rivals in this race Udderly Sweet at Redcliffe. He draws to his significant again in this race and will be hoping for a genuine early tempo.
OHOKAREDROBINJUJON (1) ran second in a much easier race last start behind Beyond Doubt. He could be one at value to fill a position in the minor money.
SELECTIONS: UDDERLY SWEET (4), FRENCH FRIES (8), FIRE RAISER (11), OHOKAREDROBINJUJON (1)
SUGGESTED BET:
RACE 3
SINABUN (2) has won two of his last three starts including an impressive last start win when sitting without cover and running a slick last half. He has the draw advantage on key rivals in this race and looks hard to beat.
BRAVENTREACHEROUS (4) has excellent gate speed and may look to zip across in the early stages of this race. He was an impressive second behind Rubira three starts ago in fast overall time. If he can secure the right run he should be hard to beat.
OUR SWEET DELIGHT (11) was impressive when running on well behind Take A Chance in a recent trial. He draws poorly to the disadvantage of his main rivals in this race which appears to see him likely to need to work or have the race run to suit to figure.
JUST A COOL DUDE (5) looks a fair way behind the top three in this race on class but was a good recent winner in good time at Redcliffe and could be running on late if things go his way.
SELECTIONS: SINABUN (2), BRAVENTREACHEROUS (4), OUR SWEET DELIGHT (11), JUST A COOL DUDE (5)
SUGGESTED BET: BRAVENTREACHEORUS (4) to win.
RACE 4
HELL IM SMOOTH (5) doesn’t leave the gate brilliant but might have the speed to get into a forward position in this race and should run well from there. He was a good winner three starts ago over this track and trip when closing over the top to score.
TOCO LOCO (6) has very good gate speed and used that last start to zip over and sit on I Got Chills who has since won again. The race being over 2138 may complicate tactics and if he does zip across he may elect to take a trail again over the journey.
MISTERPRESIDENT (7) put in a good run when running second recently after sitting outside the leader. He draws poorly in this race and will need to do work again at some stage or may get too far off them.
BASILISK BOB (11) has always had good ability but is now just starting to put everything together. He was a good winner over this trip when closing over the top late.
SELECTIONS: HELL IM SMOOTH (5), TOCO LOCO (6), MISTERPRESIDENT (7), BASILISK BOB (11)
SUGGESTED BET: TORO LOCO (6) to win.
RACE 5
COOL AND CLASSY (11) ran well behind Soho Americano last start in the Oaks at Albion Park. She is the clear class runner in this race and should be able to roll around to the lead mid race. Likely to be a short priced favourite and should be winning.
OUR LUCY LOU (1) has been impressive in recent starts running on late. Quite amazingly in four career starts so far she had never drawn the front row and lands gate 1 in this race. She appeared to show gate speed in a trial and with the experience of a few race starts so far should be able to do enough to have options early.
OUR SWEET JESS (8) follows through on the back of a horse that appears as though it’ll have some gate speed. She has been racing well and trialled up smartly in fast time recently at Redcliffe. Should get the right run.
HUNGER STRIKE (3) was a recent winner at this track and trip. She has good early speed and shouldn’t be too far away in the run.
SELECTIONS: COOL AND CLASSY (11), OUR LUCY LOU (1), OUR SWEET JESS (8), HUNGER STRIKE (3)
SUGGESTED BET: OUR LUCY LOU (1) to place.
RACE 6
RUBY RULES (1) appears likely to have enough gate speed to drive through and lead this race. She was impressive when leading all the way last start and is likely to go around a very short priced favourite in this race. All things being equal should be winning again.
ARRIVE (9) having drawn the back row and conceding a big advantage to Ruby Rules she looks destined to be playing for second in this race. She is a clear second pick with a long way class wise to any other runner and was an impressive winner in fast time two starts ago.
BOSTON BRONSKI (8) appears likely to get the perfect run through on the back of likely leader Ruby Rules. She caught the eye two starts ago when flashing into a midfield finish. Her best is good enough to run into the minor money.
SPORTY ZARA (6) trialled up reasonably in preparation for a return in this race. She showed enough ability last time in to suggest that with the right run into this race she can run a place.
SELECTIONS: RUBY RULES (1), ARRIVE (9), BOSTON BRONSKI (8), SPORTY ZARA (6)
SUGGESTED BET: BOSTON BRONSKI (8) to place.
RACE 7
CHEZZ DALE (7) drops back in grade into this race having taken on Our Goat last start who rated fast time. He wasn’t able to find the fence there and was shuffled back in the running line as a result. The big drop back in grade somewhat negates the poor draw he has ended up with outside the front row.
QUIK CHANGE (8) has drawn poorly inside the back row and will need luck at some stage to get into the clear. He is racing much better than his numerical form suggests and appears to be somewhere near his best at the moment.
MIGHTY JOLT (10) took on a strong race last start taken out by Darin who rated good time. He looks suited by the back row draw where he can be sat up and saved for one run at them late.
WINDY HILL WALLY (3) doesn’t have much gate speed and looks destined to be working at some stage in the race. He put in a good effort last start when sitting in the breeze being narrowly beaten by Bigger The Bettor.
SELECTIONS: CHEZZ DALE (7), QUIK CHANGE (8), MIGHTY JOLT (10), WINDY HILL WALLY (3)
SUGGESTED BET: QUIK CHANGE (8) to win.
RACE 8
KASH TIN (7) found the front early last start and scored a fairly dominant win there when leading all the way. He draws widest this time which is likely to see him doing more work in the run. He has shown previously that’s something he is capable of doing and enjoys racing over the 1660 at Albion Park.
ULTIMATE MIKI (8) returns from a spell in this race having scored two wins from two starts last time in. He draws poorly inside the back row and will likely need luck at some stage to get into the clear. Could become the one to beat if luck falls his way in the run.
MUCH BETTOR (3) has very good early speed but does draw outside of a few gate speed horses. He is a very capable sit sprinter and appears to be in the right grade. He didn’t have a lot of luck last start behind Basilisk Bob.
BORSELLINO (9) started a well supported favourite last start when taking on a similar level race at Redcliffe and had no luck there behind English Dance when running into a number of dead ends. He looks to have drawn favourably and can be running on late if the race is run to suit.
SELECTIONS: KASH TIN (7), ULTIMATE MIKI (8), MUCH BETTOR (3), BORSELLINO (9)
SUGGESTED BET: BORSELLINO (9) each way.
RACE 9
BETTORS MOON (6) appears to land in another suitable race where she gains a front line draw. She didn’t have much luck last start when caught wide while they were running at this track and trip and was still able to manage a good third. She has previously shown she is capable of doing the work in races and should be hard to beata again.
PRINCE JOY (5) is right back in grade in this race and draws to advantage over his key rival Bettors Moon. He has moderate gate speed and may look to press on early and look for the front. Looks hard to beat.
BEACH MAGIC (2) was able to find the pegs last start and sprinted well when the gaps appeared over the concluding stages. He looks to have found another race where he can find the fence early before having options. He doesn’t have brilliant gate speed so he may be dictated to early.
BOSTON BEAUTY (10) has been racing well and looks to have drawn favourably again in this race doing no work in the early stages. Seems to be getting better each start and ran well again last start when drawing poorly and making up very good ground late.
SELECTIONS: BETTORS MOON (6), PRINCE JOY (5), BEACH MAGIC (2), BOSTON BEAUTY (10)
SUGGESTED BET: BETTORS MOON (6) to win.
RACE 10
DESIRING DIAMONDS (3) made an error early last start and took no part there. The effort prior to that race was impressive and suggested a win was near. Needs to bring her best manners but if she does she should be hard to beat.
ICONIC IMAGE (5) won well again last start despite moving back 10 metres in the handicaps. He faces another 10 metres in this race having scored those two victories and will need a quick getaway and to do everything right in the run. Should be hard to beat again.
SMOKEY BEAR (2) seems to step quickly from the stand which is a big advantage in the 2YO trotters. He is rarely far away without having been able to break through and should get another good opportunity in this race.
SELECTIONS: DESIRING DIAMONDS (3), ICONIC IMAGE (5), SMOKEY BEAR (2)
SUGGESTED BET: DESIRING DIAMONDS (3) to win.
