BEST BETS
R1 n1 INFLUENTIAL Forward inside behind leader from draw. 3rd up off 21 days rises 5.5kg out to 1600m (+250m). Last start OMW Doomben when 2nd up dropped 5.5kg drew inside sat back 8th early inside on an even tempo but charged home late to win easily against moderate opposition by 0.7L when heavily backed late. Overall race figure was only fair but he closed off strongly late. Placed 3 times at 1600m last prep in better class races than this. Map suits but cops hefty weight rise for impressive last start win.
R6 n6 SET TO SHINE Leads and controls on map. 3ª up off 14 days drops 2kg and stays at 1400m. Last start here BM78 S6 track sat 4th inside on a tempo and not much room in straight when badly checked at 200m running 5th beaten 3.3L by Northern Decree when well backed. Finishing margin was unfair there. Overall figure from race was solid. Consistent mare maps well and claim is very important today in an even field.
R9 n11 TERMAGANT Forward inside early to be behind leaders. 4th up off 21 days drops 3kg and out to 1200m (+100m). Last start Class 3 Doomben up 4kg out to 1110m (+110m) sat 5th early on an even tempo and had clear run home but put them to the sword winning by 2.3L when well backed. Overall race figure was solid, and she closed off powerfully late with 10th fastest L200m of meeting. She beat rubbish here but was a class above them. Start prior BM80 Sun Coast 54kg closed off in dominant figures after being held up badly in straight. Should have won there for sure. Racing well.
R10 n4 CUNNAMULLA FELLA Forward inside early to be behind leaders. 5th up off 14 days and stays at 1600m. Last start BM85 Eagle Farm S6 4th up drew outside went back to last 12L off leader on a slow tempo (unsuited) and had way too much to do from there late. Ran home strongly late for 2nd beaten 0.9L by Tenzing who had a perfect run and ride. Overall rating from race was solid off that tempo and his L400m was strong. Maps a lot better today from this draw, ready to win.

R8 n12 SEPALS Map suits forward inside behind the speed. 5th race start in first prep rises 1kg off 14 days out to 1600m (+200m). Last start Flemington S7 sat back MF 7L off leader on a very fast tempo and just destroyed them late winning by 3.2L. Overall figure from race was outstanding and his closing speed off that tempo was genuine high quality. Emerging 3YO and was brilliant winning there off very fast tempo sets him up ideally at 1600m today and has B Shinn and a great map. Keen he wins.

R6 n1 AMELIA’S JEWEL Resumes, most recent trial ran 4th 1000m Rosehill beaten 4.3L by Private Harry who looks a star. Ran home well there when not under any real pressure. Resumed for new stable last prep off 119 days Group 2 1400m sat back 7th outside 7L off leader on a fast tempo with blinkers off and ran home late for 2’a beaten 1.2L by Royal Patronage. Race rating from there was outstanding. All her dry track form out to 1600m is excellent. Awkard map from draw but j Mac can sort that out early here with a positive ride.

R9 n11 SHMOOV MOOVA Last start Pinjarra drew outside (16) and sat back 10L off leader on a fast tempo and charged home late in very strong closing figures beaten 1.5L. It was a huge effort and he was off a 45-day break, maps much better today out to 1400m with 55kg taking on the older horses and should run past these late to win.

R3 n6 SAVVY BEE Resumes, was unlucky 1st up last campaign at this track and backed that up with a few other strong finishing placings. Gets in light at the weights and there looks good speed early here which suits, can see her running over the top of these late at nice odds.
R7 n6 BOONAH FLASHER Resumed with a fast-finishing 3rd over this course and distance last start (the 2rd horse has won since). Stella Boo looks the only danger, she looks fast but doesn’t finish off her races, so hoping we can run over the top of her late to win at good value.

R7 n7 THE SHOWVINIST Last start Moonee Valley sat back wide 4L off leader on an even tempo and ran home strongly late against a pattern favouring horses inside and on speed. His L400m figure was best of the meeting, maps back inside behind a fast tempo and looks well suited to run over the top of these late to win.
R8 n9 PORTER Last start went too fast in front Flemington on a S7 track (lot better on dry) and had to weaken late when 8th to Is It Me beaten 5.1L in an extremely high rating race. Run prior led and controlled on a very fast tempo winning in strong figures. Inside map here looks ideal with 53kg, down in class and keen he wins.
