Dyna Zod is much better than his most recent efforts suggests and from the favourable red draw he should kick start the night off in fine style. Four starts ago he recorded a top 25.84 Geelong win and since then he hasn't had a lot of luck in much stronger company, if he can get away cleanly this really looks his race.
Erza Allen is better suited to a rails draw but this is the weakest race that she would have contested for a while, she can be a tad hit or miss early but if she happens to step she should make an impact. Zander's Express has finally found his best form again and he should settle in the top two early, this is his first 500m run for a while so his last 50m may be a little shakey.
Top Four: 1 – 8 – 4 – 3

Rebelation is dropping considerably in class and from the good draw he should be able to settle much closer to the early speed tonight. There is a little bit of early speed drawn on his outside but those runners all like to race in the middle of the track, so he should get all the breaks in the early stages.
Mepunga Fearon has enough speed to find the early lead and he is a class act when on song, my only concern with him is that he may struggle in the final 40m. If he can cross and there is some shuffling behind him, he may just steal the prize. Deadly Boy is racing in great style but I would prefer that he started from an inside draw. Lou Todd rounds out the chances, his effort two runs back behind Gimme Fuel was more than handy and that type of performance would be enough to win this.

Atlas Genius is perfectly placed out wide and he turned in a very strong performance when winning his heat in 34.47. He is normally a reliable beginner and he should settle in the top three early. He has shown a liking for this track having been placed in six of eight tries and with some luck early he looks a value bet.
Zipping Felix can be hard to follow at times but there is no doubting that he has tremendous ability. He is going to need luck in the first 50m as per usual but if he gets it he will prove very hard to hold out. Zipping Bart has the good draw and he is aiming for a hat trick of wins, I think he can place but at the $3 mark I believe he is massive unders. Include in your exotics but definitely lay for the win.
Top Four: 8 – 2 – 1 – 4

Sign Of Snow is dropping in class and from the red he should get every chance to lead all the way. He has won seven of ten from this draw and his recent placings of late suggest that he isn't far away from saluting again. He will obviously need to lead to win this but with slow beginners drawn directly outside him, this race really looks his to lose.
Hession Boots will be well fancied and is a winning chance, however he will get a long way back in the early stages and he will need a few gaps to open mid race for him to get into contention. Coulta Rock is poorly drawn out wide but he does possess a great turn of foot, so if he can step on terms he should have enough speed to get across. Newfire Riley has seen better days but he is still racing in ok fashion, he must be included in your exotics.
Top Four: 1 – 4 – 8 – 3
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Sign Of Snow

Rinash loves racing from the red draw and he recently scored a blistering 25.71 Warragul win from this pin. He should have sufficient speed to poke through and lead and he has won over this trip previously, so the trip won't pose any problems.
Hekate Belle can be hard to follow but she showed her true ability with a strong 30.20 Meadows win last week, the manner in which she has been hitting the line of late suggests that she should be able to handle the extra distance. Sonic Pirate could be the smokey, he has turned in some big performances over the 515m trip and he is capable of pinging the lids at times.
Top Four: 1 – 3 – 8 – 6
Suggested Bets:
Trifecta: 1,3,8/1,3,6,8/1,3,4,5,6,8 ($36 for 100%)

Where's The Surf was gone about a month ago, however his past two placings here suggest that he is getting back to somewhere near his best. There isn't a lot of speed drawn underneath him tonight, so with a clean getaway he should be able to find the early lead again and he will then prove very hard to gun down.
Hailstorm Billy is super consistent and he has a fantastic record over this track and trip. He can be a little slow to begin at times but he should get plenty of room from the pink to muster speed and if he is close to them off the back, he will make a big impact. Gorham Bale has loads of talent but he does make a lot of mistakes in his races, if he can reproduce his 29.42 PB run here then he can play a major role. Cornelius Fudge is another track specialist and he is great dog to anchor for second and third in your exotic bets, he is likely to get a long way back early but he is always running on strongly.
Top Four: 3 – 8 – 5 – 7
Suggested Bets:
Boxed Quinella: 3,5,7,8 ($6 for 100%)
Trifecta: 3,5,8/7/Field ($18 for 100%)

I know he keeps sucking me in but Dyna Perseus should win if he can avoid trouble in the first 50m. When given clear running he is one of the fastest chasers going round and he can run all day. This is one of the weakest events that he has contested for quite a while and he may actually go round at an attractive price.
Starc beat a similar field here last week and he should be improved by the run as it was his first try over this distance range. The box draw is against him but if he can settle mid pack he should be able to work his way through the field and make an impact. Ruff Cut Diamond was a bit disappointing here last week but she should be much better for the run, whilst Supersonic Hawk is never far away in his races and he may cause an upset.
Top Four: 8 – 5 – 3 – 6
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Dyne Perseus
Exacta: 3,5,8/3,5,6,8 ($9 for 100%)

Reigning Easter Egg Champion Tonk made his middle distance debut last week and although he looked a little flat early, he still managed to hit the line strongly and go down narrowly. He should be much better for that run and with some luck in the early stages he should take a power of beating.
Billy Bowlegs is the interesting runner, he has turned in some monster performances at Wentworth Park and Dapto in his career and he has been jumping a lot better over the 500m journey of late. If he happens to land in the top two he will run a big race. Mystic Twist was a strong 34.36 winner here two runs back and she should be in the mix for most of the trip, whilst He Isn't Really hasn't experienced a lot of luck recently and he could show improvement at nice odds.
Top Four: 6 – 5 – 4 – 3
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Tonk
Trifecta: 6/3,4,5/Field ($18 for 100%)
Trifecta: 4,5,6/3,4,5,6/1,3,4,5,6,7 ($36 for 100%)

Warrior King showed he was back to his brilliant best with a scintillating 29.30 win here last week, tonight he is drawn to get a perfect sit behind the one and the two for most of the trip and he should then run over the top of them as they round for home.
Jewel Bale is a super talent but she tends to find a lot of trouble in her races, she is poorly drawn again tonight but she is too good to totally dismiss. Gimme Fuel has enough speed to punch through and lead and three runs back he did lead throughout when scoring a strong 34.33 win here over 595m. Elite Devil could be some value in this event, in his most recent effort he led for a long way and recorded a top placing behind the in form Allen Deed at the Meadows.
Top Four: 3 – 6 – 1 – 5
Suggested Bets:
Trifecta: 3/1,5,6/Field ($18 for 100%)
Quinella: 3 to rove with 1,5,6 ($3 for 100%)

Samus Allen is an exciting talent when on song and she should return to form from her good draw. With slow beginners drawn on her outer, she should be able to punch through and lead comfortably, she is a much better chaser on the bunny and if you can find $2.80 or better, that is good shopping.
Peter's Pick is a gun QLD chaser and he hasn't had a lot of luck since scoring at Warragul in 25.90 when making his Victorian debut. The big concern with him are his box manners, he tends to bomb the start but then shows a great turn of foot, if he misses away tonight he may get posted wide for a long way. Tiggerlong Amigo is much better than his recent form reads and this is a big drop in class, whilst Unix Bale turned in a top performance at Angle Park two runs back and she will be charging home late.
Top Four: 1 – 4 – 2 – 8
Suggested bets:
Win bet on Samus Allen
Exacta: 1,4/1,2,4,8 ($6 for 100%)

Droopy's Bentley has won four of his five starts to date impressively and he is surprisingly well drawn in box six. With the speedy Wild Last Stress drawn on his inside, he should get a nice cart across in the early stages and takeover mid race.
Scanez Cee has been finding the line well in recent times and he was placed behind an in form chaser here last time, if he can get a clear run initially he should be a factor at the business end. Dyna Yemen is an exciting prospect and he will be a short priced favourite, he is very hit or miss early so I think he is a risk at the short odds. Thoughtful Wish will find the line hard and she must be included in your exotic bets.
Top Four: 6 – 2 – 4 – 1
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Droopy's Bentley
Quinella: 6 to rove with 1,2,4 ($3 for 100%)

Race 12 – 515M Grade 5 – 10:52PM
Above All left all onlookers stunned two weeks ago when he set the track alight here with a scorching 29.33 win and tonight with a clear run in the first 50m he is probably capable of going a little bit quicker.
Ulla Allen can ping the lids on occasions and she looks the danger based on her impressive 30.40 Cranbourne win two runs back. Dr. Klaas has only had the one start but she did post a brilliant 25.04 Sale win and she clearly has a heap of talent.
Top Four: 6 – 3 – 5 – 7
Suggested Bets:
Trifecta: 6/3,5,7/Field ($18 for 100%)
Exacta: 3,6/3,5,6,7 ($6 for 100%)
