Indiana Rumble comes back to town after recently contesting the rich Lismore maiden series and she appears to have improved quite a bit since she last raced here. From the red she should have sufficient speed to hold them out early and I would then expect her to put a bit of a gap in them mid race. Her last 50m may be a bit of a worry but I think she will have enough in hand to hold them off.
Waikarie Warrior scored a speedy 30.22 win here two runs back and if he steps away cleanly he should test the red for most of the journey, he too isn't overly strong but he is continuing to improve with more racing.
Fast Bean is probably the most talented chaser in the event but he can be hit or miss early and he will look to move wide, so he will need a few things to go his way early.
Beat The Bullet rounds out the chances, his effort at Lismore last time when narrowly beaten was highly impressive.
Top Four: 1 – 7 – 2 – 3
Suggested Bets:

Mr. Brand has turned in some monster performances of late and he deserves to breakthrough. He is likely to settle well back in the field but he does possess a great finish and if the gaps can open mid race he should be there to pounce as they turn for home. The fact that there are a number of front runners in this race makes the push for him even stronger.
Kooringa Pete is likely to lead for a long way and although he was disappointing here on Sunday when he got run down, I'm willing to give him another chance. Four starts ago he posted a slick 30.24 Lismore win and that type of run would be good enough to win this.
Derek Zoolander has plenty of talent and if he can step cleanly he should be able to make an impact, his two wins have been over this track and trip and he does have speed to burn once he hits the ground.
Fabulous Storm is easily the most talented runner but he is slow early and there is every chance that he will be posted wide for most of the journey.
Top Four: 4 – 3 – 8 – 5
Suggested Bets:

Cute To Boot hasn't won for a little while but she appears well placed in the pink draw and she turned in a very strong effort when placed here last week. There is a little bit of speed drawn directly underneath her but that should give her a nice cart across in the early stages and if she can head down the back within three or four of the leader she should prove too strong.
Remember Me Rose had no luck at Ipswich last time and her effort was quite eye catching. She is going to start big odds tonight but her Casino form suggests that she does have quite a bit of talent and a big run is on the cards.
Roar has a slick 30.07 PB here and he has the speed to lead, his box manners aren't great but he does burn soon after box rise and some of his better performances have been from wide draws.
Jebrynah Alley rounds out the chances, she is yet to win here in 12 attempts but this race lacks depth and if she leads she may give a great sight.
Top Four: 8 – 5 – 7 – 3
Suggested Bets:
Win bets on Cute To Boot and Remember Me Rose with Sportingbet

Buck City was a tad unlucky here two runs back when placed behind the classy Kidatee Croc and she should be able to make amends tonight. The middle draw should actually suit her and if she gets away on terms with them she should be able to carve across to the early lead. The manner in which she hits the line over the 500m journey suggests that this distance range is right up her alley.
Dzeko has the class edge and she did score some devastating wins here in November. The concern with her tonight is that there is a fair bit of speed drawn on her outside and she is likely to find bother because she will be looking to get wide.
Killara has been racing well in recent weeks and she should give a good sight, two starts back she led for a long way and it took the strong Golfing Amy quite a while to pick her up.
Gizmo The Great has strong place claims, he is still learning to race and from the red he may get shuffled a long way back early. If he can hold his position early he may be able to make a big impact.
Top Four: 5 – 7 – 4 – 1
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Buck City with Sportingbet

Abby's Fantasy isn't the strongest chaser going around but she does possess a heap of early speed and if she holds them out early she may be able to break away as they head for the back straight. The big advantage for her is that there are quite a few wide runners in this race and I can see them shuffling up quite a bit as they head into the first bend.
Ralphy Cinel comes here with strong Victorian form and he is normally a very reliable beginner. If he steps well tonight he should be able to sit outside or just behind Abby's Fantasy for most of the trip. He has won over 600m on quite a few occasions so he may give the leader something to think about.
Stella Nights has a good record here and she can ping the lids on occasions. She has the luxury of slow beginners being drawn on either side so she should get every chance to settle in a prominent position.
Velocity Mist is likely to start favourite but I think she is a risk from the wide draw, she races best when she can lead and I think there are at least three chasers who can hold her out early.
Top Four: 1 – 6 – 3 – 8
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Abby's Fantasy with Sportingbet
Quinella: 1 to rove with 3,6,8 ($3 for 100%)

Great final and I think the strong Good Call Paul can get the cash, last week he settled a lot closer to the speed than normal and he powered to the line and scored in a blistering 29.76. He is likely to settle a little further back tonight but this race has a number of runners who stop in the closing stages and he should be able to swoop over the top of them.
Dutch Stryker resumed from a short spell and scored a solid 30.32 heat win, he appeared to get very tired in the run home but he should have derived a lot of benefit from that run and I would expect him to hit the line a lot better tonight. B
anc De Kahn is the likely leader and she should give a great sight, her last 60m is going to be a big concern but she should be able to hold on for a place.
Don't Go Quietly is a great place prospect, he has been placed in seven of eight here and he should be able to pick off a few of the tiring runners in the home straight.
Top Four: 4 – 2 – 5 – 7
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Good Call Paul with Sportingbet

Even race but if the classy Golfing Amy can punch through and lead she should be able to get the cash. Four starts back she posted a strong 35.24 win here but she hasn't experienced a lot of luck in her three subsequent runs.
Hougenie is well drawn out wide and she was a bit unlucky when narrowly beaten here last week, she has the speed to cross from out there and she has proven in the past that she can run time on the bunny.
Sheridon continues to win at big odds and in recent weeks he has won two of three over this journey, if he can avoid bother at the first turn he should run another big race.
Come On Fantasy is the interesting runner, she comes here with strong Victorian metro form and it appears that she is armed with early speed.
Top Four: 1 – 6 – 8 – 3
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Golfing Amy with Sportingbet
Quinella: 1 to rove with 3,6,8 ($3 for 100%)

Cyndie's Special is a very consistent speedster and she was far from disgraced when placed here last week. From box two she should be able to drive through early and I would expect her to then take a sit behind Miner's Moss as they head for the back straight. She is quite strong in the run home so I would expect her to run over the top of the early leader.
Miner's Moss is the likely leader and he should give a great sight, he returned to form with a solid 30.08 win here last week and he is the obvious danger. Dream River is probably the most talented runner in the field and if he steps away he will run a massive race, the only concern is that he is surrounded by early speed and he may not get much room to move.
Yogi Blue could be the value runner, he has a tremendous record here and after a month off he should be ready to fire fresh.
Top Four: 2 – 1 – 8 – 5
Suggested Bets:
Win bets on Cyndie's Special and Yogi Blue with Sportingbet

Bon Yeo continues to improve with more racing and last week he turned in a massive performance when placed behind the classy Good Call Paul. From the pink he should be able to work his way across slowly and if he can settle mid field he should be close enough. He is armed with a really big finish and he really just needs a bit of room in the middle stages to make a big impact.
Messidonna Cloud has the good draw and he has been racing very well in his brief career to date. He has won seven of his 13 starts to date and he does possess a wonderful turn of foot soon after box rise.
Spanish Queen has the speed to settle in the top two and she was a zippy 30.16 winner here last week, she would need to lead to win again but that isn't beyond her.
This Time Reba rounds out the chances, she was a strong 30.12 winner here four runs back and she just needs to avoid early bother to feature.
Top Four: 8 – 1 – 4 – 2
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Bon Yeo with Sportingbet
Trifecta: 8/1,2,4/Field ($18 for 100%)

Summer's Bug is a very fast chaser on his night and if he is switched on he should prove too slick for his rivals. He has done the majority of his racing over the 395m journey and he has scored some blistering wins. He can lose focus in his races at times but if he crosses like I think he will he should be off and gone and that will allow him to keep his focus on the lure.
Fred Sealey is much better than his form reads and he should follow Summer's Bug across in the first 60m or so, he recorded his smart 29.97 PB here from this draw and he could be the value in the event.
Big Dac does his best racing here and he will be strong in the run to the line, the box draw is against him but if he can settle mid pack he should run home into a place.
Top Four: 7 – 8 – 4 – 1
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Summers Bug with Sportingbet
Exacta: 7,8/1,4,7,8 ($6 for 100%)
Quinella: 7 to rove with 1,4,8 ($3 for 100%)
