BEST BETS
R3 n8 HELL TO PAY Midfield and outside on map and suited from there this tempo. 3ra up off 22 days and well suited out to 1400m. Last start Canterbury was supposed to be ridden further forward but ended up back 5th outside 5L off leaders and ran home late for 3rd beaten 3.2L by Tuileries who is very talented. He was heavily backed to beat her there. Run prior was strong to the line late at 1100m behind Gerringong (smart) resuming. C Williams rides today, and he has been crying out for 1400m with tempo. Target race by astute stable and proven on Soft.
R10 n3 COSMIC FIRE Midfield on map outside and suited from there this tempo. 3d up off 15 days rises 1kg and suited out to 1100m. Last start Gold Coast off 34 days and trial at Sun Coast he drew outside and went back very wide and 7L off the leaders on a very slow tempo (completely unsuited). Ran on hard late out wide on track with 3rd fastest L200m of meeting for 2’a beaten 3L by Arabian Summer. That run should be a great form reference for this race and he will be strong late off this fast tempo off a better map today. Loves Soft and big win only run this track on Heavy 8.

BEST BETS
R8 n1 HOLYMANZ Behind leaders on map off fence, 8th up off 32 days (won jump out Cranbourne Dec 23) rises 5.5kg back to 1700m (-100m). Sat back off them in jump out and ran home late to win. Last start Group 3 Caulfield on H8 track sat back midfield on a very fast tempo and ran home late for 3ra beaten 1.5L by New Energy. Good gap back to 4th there and figures from race were elite. Not a regular winner, his last win was in this race last year but is he better than these horses.
R9 n8 SHE’S BULLETPROOF Maps suits inside behind fast tempo. 4th up off 39 days and won jump out brilliantly at Pakenham Dec 24. Last start Caulfield Group 3 drew outside and went forward to 3rd in 1×1 position on a slow tempo and chased hard in straight running 2d to Niance (very smart) beaten 0.8L. The subsequent form behind them in that race has been very strong. Her form this preparation has been excellent and map suits, loses C Williams today but keen she wins.

BEST BETS
R5 n13 PERFUMIST Maps forward inside behind leader and suited. 6th up off 15 days drops 2kg back to 1400m (-150m). Last start F/M BM72 Canterbury drew outside in small field and went forward to 4th in 1/1 position on a very slow tempo (suited) and was too strong late winning by 1.2L when heavily backed $2.50. Closing figures were VG. Negative riding change but she has powerful closing speed in her races and very hard to beat.
R7 n9 AMAZING EAGLE Forward on map to be 3d on leaders back and suited there. 3ra up off 35 days and ran 2nd 900m trial Rosehill Dec 23 beaten 3L. He cruised in front in trial and was throttled down late-VG trial. Drops 3.5kg and stays at 1200m off last start 3YO Doomben H10 track when he sat last on a fast tempo and went very wide on turn before charging home late for 2nd narrowly beaten. Negative riding change but is so well suited today with light weight and map looks perfect.
R9 n12 APEX Maps 4P back outside and suited there late this tempo. 4th up off 15 days drops 5.5kg back to 1100m (-100m). Last start Canterbury 3/4YO BM64 sat 4th outside 6L off leaders on a very fast tempo and rider may have gone too early on him there running 2nd to Dance To The Boom (very smart) in quality overall figures. He had 59.5kg and his closing figures were excellent when heavily backed late $2.40. Gelded this prep and is an emerging young horse.

R2 n2 TAKE A PICTURE Ran a huge race when resuming at this track over 1100m when flew home out wide for a narrow 2rd then wasn’t beaten far when 4th in a tougher race at Eagle farm last start. He steps up to the 1300m 3rd up now which he has a great record at and maps to box seat from the soft draw, very hard to beat.
