BEST BETS
R4 n14 TEN TRINITY SQUARE Positive early on map to be 4th. 3rª up off 21 days drops 5kg and out to 1200m (+200m). Last start Class 2 Toowoomba drew soft and went to 3ra early on an even tempo before cruising past them to win easily 4.3L at $1.40. He had meeting dominant closing figures there from 800m to finish which is always a big plus and out to 1200m today will suit off that. Class 2 Toowoomba to BM85 in City is never easy but he has had the fastest L200m of the meeting in every one of his three runs/wins-which is unique. Drying conditions in his favour.
R7 n2 TRANSATLANTIC Positive early on map from draw 3rd up off 21 days and stays at 1400m. Last start Sun Coast H8 track drew outside and went forward early to lead and control on a slow tempo (suited) before bolting in by 4.8L when smashed in betting. He just took off at the 300m there and looked in a different post code to the rest-running the fastest L200m of meeting. Gelded this prep and while conditions suited last run- the ease of that win cannot be ignored. Ideal map today to do it all again.
R9 n2 GIVE ME SPACE Gets back midfield outside on map. 4th up on 7 day back-up, rises 3kg and suited out to 1400m (+200m). Last start Doomben H10 track drew inside and was never comfortable there on worst ground back 7th before running 3rd beaten 2.8L by Street Chase. His wheels were spinning there at times and run can be forgiven. Backs up quickly from astute stable and suited this map with clear air late in straight. Drying track really suits.

R4 n4 PHARARI Positive early from inside draw. 6th up off 21 days rises 4kg out to 1200m (+100m). Last start Caulfield went back 5th early on a slow tempo but was inside in an awkward spot and then held up in straight and not clear until race was over- beaten 0.4L by Kin. Her closing figures were outstanding with the 8th fastest L200m of meeting. Has won this track and if track is downgraded it is a major advantage to her. Keen she wins.
R7 n9 MRS CHRISSIE Map suits back MF and outside this tempo. Resumes off 130 day spell and all three trials have been good. Fresh form is excellent and maps well to sit back off this early pressure and sweep home out wider late from her MF map. Very reliable mare has won this track and if rain arrives it will only benefit her.

R7 n7 DRIFT NET Forward early on map to be 2d behind leader and suited. 4th up on a 7 day back up and well suited back to 1300m (-100m). Last start BM78 Rosehill drew inside and had perfect run/ride when 3ra to Redbreast beaten 0.4L when heavily backed late. She let some punters down last week but is a lot better suited at 1300m off this map in what looks like an easier race. Respecting this stable with the quick back up and overnight rain a real bonus for her.
R8 n6 KONASANA Maps 3P back inside. 4th up off 14 days drops 3kg and stays at 1400m. Last start Cranbourne G3 went to 5th early from a wider draw and travelled 3 wide no cover and was given zero chance of winning from there running 6th beaten 1.4L by Wings Of Song. Overall figures from race were only fair but she was brave late off that map. Gets a lot kinder map/set up today and overnight rain is a genuine bonus for her.
R10 n5 MIDNIGHT OPAL Maps 4th in 1×1 and suited from there late. 4th up off 14 days and back to 1300m (-100m). Last start Kembla Grange with blinkers on first time got caught wide early from an awkward draw and was allowed to roll forward to be 2nd following leader/winner lamintowin but couldn’t run that horse down late beaten 1.5L. He found that track too hard like most horses at that meeting, back to 1300m on a softer surface is ideal today.

R3 n5 NONESOSPICY Nice filly who led on fast tempo last start and won easily in quality figures. She closed off strongly off that tempo with 4th fastest L200m of meeting. Rinse and repeat coming up again here off this draw. She just jumps and runs fast.
R4 n3 DEVINE BELIEF Leads and controls on map here and was excellent resuming off 154 days last start leading and run down late by a quality horse in Jokers Grin beaten 0.7L. That form line wins this race and is unbeaten 2nd up. Good quality mare loves the 1000m and will control this race up on speed.

R6 n5 HARBOURMASTER Was a strong winner first up for us two runs back then had no luck when caught wide last start before finishing 2d. Steps up to the mile which looks ideal and maps perfectly, looks the winner.
