Flemington Betting Summary
| R3 no6 Rose Quartz | R6 no18 Strettan Angel |
| R7 no4 Riff Rocket | R8 no4 Atishu |
MEETING TIPS
R3 no6 Rose Quartz – 3rd up off 21 days and B Shinn to weave his magic from the inside draw. I know its 623 days between wins for her but she gets her chance today v this class and off this set up. Was wide and keen last start and back to 1100m off a Fast tempo is ideal for her.
R6 no18 Strettan Angel – 3rd up and high class filly targeted at this race. Drawn to swoop and proved last start she can race forward if required. Her closing figures are elite and fillies have won 3 of last 5 editions of this race. I am sure she is up to Group 1 standard and unlike most of her rival’s sets up perfectly here to be winning off a class tick over trial since her last win. .
R7 no4 Riff Rocket – 5th run off 14 days +500m and gets map favours here. Happy to forgive last start it was like a barrier trial for him there and he looks better than these.
R8 no4 Atishu – 4th run and target race for stable off 21 days. She was unlucky in this race last year and this is her race for the Spring. Impossible not to tip her on top v these.

Eagle Farm Betting Summary
| R1 no4 Liquor | R4 no2 Weigall Tiger |
| R8 no8 Ekaterina | R9 no3 Manhood |
MEETING TIPS
R1 no4 Liquor – 4th run for prep and off 21 days and leads inside on map – should control tempo from there. Has race fitness advantage over these and potential map favours from good draw. Should have crossed to fence last start v Steady Ready when second off V Fast tempo. Was $15 there but run was very good facing the breeze off that speed. CJG replaced by A Jones today who knows her well- she was poorly ridden last start but brave late. Sets the standard for this race off that.
R4 no2 Weigall Tiger – 3rd up off 24 days and out 200m to 1400m. I really liked this horses win at Ipswich at his last start. His figures there were best of meeting and he strode away from them late like a good horse at the end of 1200m. Away from the rubbish 800m races they have on those programs, he had clearly the best closing figures for the meeting off the good early speed. Blinkers on this prep and is now 2/2 with them. He has talent and there has been some form out of race since. Maps well on speed and is well placed v these with 56kg.
R8 no8 Ekaterina – 3rd up off 21 days and out to 1400m. Looks to be back inside on map but could/should be ridden closer off this draw. Very good late last start, was held up in straight but was still far too strong with big close as usual. Always gets back in her 1200m races but out to 1400m here we need her to be ridden closer- if that happens it should be race over, she has a lap on these class wise.
R8 no3 Manhood – Resumes off 112 days gets sit on the leaders this map. Unbeaten first up 3/3 there-last prep first up he won this track and distance 11/03/23 in Class 6 race at $2.60 in very good figures off a very fast speed. It was his highest rating of what was a very good prep. He loves the Eagle Farm 1200m and at his 3rd start last prep he ran Antino to a 0.9L defeat into 3rd at 1400m. That form is better than these and he only has to be fit and ready to be winning this race.

Rosehill Betting Summary
| R7 no4 Private Eye | R10 no3 Way To The Stars |
MEETING TIPS
R7 no4 Private Eye – 3rd up off 21 days gets 1kg weight drop and a positive increase to1300m. He also gets map advantage today having the favourites back in the run, unlike last start in the Everest when he was caught wide and had zero favours. He us unbeaten this track and distance and won this race effortlessly last year.
R10 no3 Way to the Stars – 3rd up off 28 days and an easy trial win over 90m here October 27. Very hard to beat off his last two runs. Looks to have come back a much improved horse this time in as figures from last two runs were both excellent. He gave Stanislaus 7kg in weight last start off a Fast pace and took him to the wire in what has become a hot form race. Just looks like he has matured into a really solid horse now.

Toowoomba Betting Summary
BEST BET:
R6 no1 TOUTE SWEET – is a very speedy horse resuming from a spell, he led and won at Ipswich two runs back before subsequently being disqualified then stepped up to 1100m in a 2yo Open Handicap at that track but tired late for 3rd after leading. The drop back to this distance first up is ideal and has returned in good form judging by his blistering jump out win recently, drawn to lead and win.
BEST VALUE:
R2 no5 PREPOTENT – will strip much fitter for his 1st up run at Warwick where he wasn’t suited by the slow pace but hit the line nicely late. The small field and likely fast speed are a good recipe for him to storm over the top of these, very hard to beat.
