Form Analysis by Rob Auber
Race 1:
OVERVIEW: BEARHUNTA (9) is a lightly raced pacer that has shown good ability at both race starts to date. Trails through nicely here and should enjoy a good trip. A major chance. NOMORELYING (7) is racing well and been closing late and is bursting to win another race. Expect a big showing despite the wide draw. LEAVE YOUR HAT ON (1) capable mare that strips fitter from her first up run and draws ideally here. Expect big improvement. SHAQ (6) did his share of work and fought on strongly last start. Going well and is one of the chances. Both MICHEN ROY (2) and INSIDE LEG (4) have front line draws and have claims.

Race 2:
OVERVIEW: CELESTIAL ZODIAC (3) has been in great form having won his past two starts though narrowly. Going well and is one of the main chances. MIKI MARK (6) should be ready to peak after two runs back from a spell. Does have early gate speed and should be in this for a long way. HAIR RAZOR (1) back to winning form last start and draws well here though meeting stronger opposition. Should get every chance. SHOOBEE GOTCHA (4) capable pacer resuming from a long spell and has shown ability. Can run well fresh. OUR MYSTERY BET (2) in good form and draws well to be well placed again. Harder here but must be respected again. BUDD SIDEWINDER (8) CLEM MCARDLE (9) and REGAL ROCK (10) all have good ability and measure up well in this and should be running on late. Don’t dismiss.

OVERVIEW: The first starters might perform well here with CRAYONS TO PERFUME (3) showing promise at the trials, KING SAINT (4) joins the Julie Douglas stable and has been kept under guard whilst FIFTY SEVEN CHEVY (1) a nicely bred youngster now under the training of Monique Burnett all have credentials to run well whilst race experienced runners HELLO POSSUMS (2) and PLATINUMS BOY (5) have shown enough at their race debuts to be winning chances whilst SOURTHENSWEET (11) and HELENSHOPE (9) could easily show big improvement.

Race 4:
OVERVIEW: GUARANTEED SECRET (9) has been racing against stronger opposition and did things wrong last start though his prior run was solid enough for a race of this class. Expect a big showing. MAC SHADOW (8) has come back in good form and should peak here at his third run back. Can run well. LAVADA GOLD (10) is never far away in this class and should be running on late. Both HAND WRITER (4) and CELESTIAL DAYBREAK (1) are going well and have favourable draws to be in the finish again. Both HIGHVIEW HAMMER (5) and POLLY PEACHUM (6) are fast beginners and can be prominent whilst ICANMOTOR (2) will be sitting behind the speed and running on late.

Race 5:
OVERVIEW: COCONUT MICKEY (4) good run again last start and is bursting at the seams to be winning another race after a string of placings. Looks suited and gets his chance in this. HEZA GUN (7) resumed with an excellent showing to win first up after a seven-month layoff. Strips further fitter here but faces a wider draw. A major threat. STRAIGHT TO THETOP (8) has been racing well and if the breaks come her way, she’s one of the main chances whilst APRIL SUN (6) is never far away and must be respected. LIZZIES SON (5) has been kept safe in the market but is yet to produce his best in recent months. Much better than his figure form reads and can improve. Keep safe. MIDNITE MUSCLE (3) a winner two starts ago and is a place and first four hope.

OVERVIEW: BIG BAD OSSIE (6) terrific performances at both starts this campaign and was very brave in defeat in the Cobram Cup at his latest outing. A major chance here. ON THE HUNT (7) capable mare that is going well against stronger opposition in recent starts though not figuring in the finish. Can bounce back here. The Julie Douglas trained runners MIKI MAHONEY (3) and ARNIES ARMY (5) both have good ability and are amongst the main chances.

Race 7:
OVERVIEW: MICTON MOUSE (4) is a good beginner that wasn’t far away last start and can race in a forward position. Looks suited in this class and can give a good sight. SILVER DOMINO (2) is better than his figure form reads and draws well here and should sit behind the speed here and do his best work late. One of the chances. OLLY ODD POTTS (1) has a favourable draw and will receive every chance here and is a threat. Stable mates VERY TEMPTING (5) and BLUE OCEAN (6) can measure up here and run well whilst MYBOYMYBOY (7) has been racing in NSW and has claims.

OVERVIEW: WATCHING OVER US (2) both runs this campaign have been full of merit and chased determinedly last start. Drawn ideally and looks hard to beat.
