Race 1

3-2-5-6

 

3 BEAU GESTE debuted back in May and looked very smart winning at Canterbury with ease. He resumes here off the back of two good trials and with Super Ex and Albumin rolling forward he should get a perfect run in transit. 2 ANDAZ has yet to be beaten and although his latest trial didn’t set the world on fire he is a winner and has been gelded since the last running.

 

BET:     Backing the 3 BEAU GESTE  $2.65 bet now

 

 

 

Race 2

8-4-5-6

 

8 UP ‘N’ ROLLING was the centre of attention back in April when a certainty beat and following a four month freshen up he resumed with a barnstorming win at Canterbury. The horse that ran second Notio was able to win on Wednesday at Canterbury. From gate one here McEvoy will be able to have an economical run and unlike most of his opponents, he will dash. His stablemates 4 MULTIFACETS and 5 VAUCLUSE BAY look the hardest to beat.

 

BET:     Betting up on 8 UP ‘N’ ROLLING  $2 bet now

 

 

 

Race 3

4-5-3-2

 

I have nothing between 3 MORE TO GAIN, 4 JAMINZAH & 5 MURAQABA.

More To Gain was very good first up after nine months off when attacking the line over 1400m to be beaten a ¾ length. Jaminzah is in dashing form having won two in succession at Flemington and only has to bring that form to Sydney. The lack of speed is a little concern. Muraqaba drops back in grade and steps back up in trip which is sure to suit. He has the ability to go forward if there is no speed.

 

BET:     Box the quinella 3, 4 & 5  = 3 combinations  $3.6 bet now

 

 

 

Race 4

3-9-5-4

 

3 SUPER STAR BOB began awkwardly the last start at Canterbury but nonetheless was most disappointing when finishing worse than midfield as a favourite. He has since trialled and pleased the stable and returns here back up to 1400m. From a soft draw, he should his chance to bounce back. 9 COUNT CUMANI has been very impressive winning his past two at the Gold Coast and Ipswich although beating moderates opposition. 4 MY TAGOSON got a Bowman gem last start here two weeks ago but he was still good enough to win in good fashion. A repeat of that although drawn wide will have him in the money again. The other chances are 5 SCHEDULE and WINS1 LAST TRY.

 

BET:     Something small on 3 SUPER STAR BOB  $6 bet now

 

 

 

Race 5

3-1-5-4

 

Small field but plenty on the line as a few of these runners are staking their claim for a slot in the $10 million Everest.

6 SUPER TOO will run along making sure everyone gets their chance over the flying 1000m. 3 SPIETH is unlucky not to already be a group one winner but that may change this time in judging by his recent good trial. 1 REDZEL is a group one winner and is all quality but is giving away some weight here. 5 NIETA is a classy mare but is facing her toughest test to date. She is undefeated first up, undefeated at Randwick and is four from five over the 1000m trip.

 

BET:     Keen on 3 SPIETH  $2.6 bet now

 

 

 

Race 6

5-3-1-7

 

The three biggest players look to be the trifecta from the group 2 Silver Shadow a fortnight ago when 1 Formality won defeating 5 Alizee and 3 Champagne Cuddles.

I’m hoping 5 ALIZEE can turn the tables as from barrier one she should get the opportunity to have a sit on the leaders and chase rather than be chased. 3 CHAMPAGNE CUDDLES was the one closing late and likely to do the same here especially having drawn the outside barrier. 1 FORMALITY did a good job winning first up and looked to have improvement to come. The value runner could be 7 I AM EXCITED who comes back to racing the girls after running well behind Menari.

 

BET:     Backing 5 ALIZEE  $3.2 bet now

 

 

 

Race 7

11-9-2-1

 

Not much you can say 11 WINX is chasing her 19th straight win and it seems a mere formality. From all reports, she has bounced back from her first up run and is ready to rock ‘n’ roll. 9 LIFE LESS ORDINARY was super first up when only a lack of speed cost him to victory when second behind Comin’ Through. 2 RED EXCITEMENT ran a cracker first up when fourth to Winx and without the horses that ran second and third he has to be a big chance of filling a placing.

 

BET:     I’m backing 9 LIFE LESS ORDINARY the place  $31 bet now

 

 

 

Race 8

7-6-1-9

 

Nothing between 6 ECUADOR and 7 INVINCIBLE GEM.

I’ve settled on Invincible Gem as she has the better turn of speed and I’m hoping she won’t be too far off Ecuador as they straighten for home and then can dash. She has returned in good order running down group one winner Le Romain first up. Ecuador is tough and will fight as he did first up when beaten a ½ length by Winx. 1 HAPPY CLAPPER is a player here resuming off two solid trials. The Chris Waller pair are the other winning hopes 3 MCCREERY and 9 TOM MELBOURNE.

 

BET:     Backing 7 INVINCIBLE GEM  $4.2 bet now

 

 

 

Race 9

7-10-4-9

 

7 WASHINGTON HEIGHTS has returned from Hong Kong and looked every bit of a top liner. Only bad luck cost him making it two from two since returning and he looks very hard to beat here. The lack of speed on paper looks the only concern as he will likely be back nearer the inside looking for a run but if he gets the luck he should run over them. 10 VELADERO and 4 ROCKET COMMANDER are likely to settle near the front, therefore, making them the biggest threats to Washington heights.

 

BET:     Good crack at 7 WAHINGTON HEIGHTS  $1.95 bet now
