Very open race and I've decided to go with the highly talented Dzeko off the front mark. She has been racing very consistently at Sandown of late over a similar journey and if she can get out into some open space she will prove hard to hold out. Two starts back she settled on the speed and she showed her true talent with a devastating 41.67 Sandown Park win.

Tears Siam is also suited to the front mark and the middle pin isn't too bad, she can be a little hit or miss early but she does pick up speed quickly and she possesses a powerful mid race burst. Like Dzeko she just needs some room in the early stages.

Love Affair has a good record here and she must be kept in calculations, she has been taking on some quality opposition of late and she will appreciate the drop in class tonight.

Beks and Rain Stream round out the place hopes, both will hit the line quite well and can sneak into second or third spot.

Luna Jinx will be well supported but she is a big risk off the red, she doesn't like to be crowded and she may get shuffled back in the early stages.

Top Four: 6 – 5 – 3 – 2

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Dzeko with William Hill

Quinella: 6 to rove with 2,3,5 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 5,6/2,3,5,6 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 3,5,6/2,3,5,6/1,2,3,5,6,8 ($36 for 100%)

Hisagi Bale showed fantastic early speed in his brilliant 30.15 debut win here and with a repeat performance he should be leading from go to whoa again. His first two sectionals were clearly the fastest of any qualifier and I think he can improve on his overall time. There is very little speed drawn around him and if you can snag around $2.60 with William Hill that is great value.

Ikari Express finally broke through here last week and he will be right in the mix again. He is probably better suited to a rails draw but he does have a great turn of foot and he should put himself into contention at the first bend.

Glitterbug really caught the eye with a 30.3 debut win and she really powered to the line in that effort, the red draw probably doesn't suit but if she can balance up in the first four she will prove very hard to hold out in the run home.

Graff Bale rounds out the chances, she has posted three impressive placings to date and she can show early speed at times.

Top Four: 4 – 8 – 1 – 7

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Hisagi Bale

Quinella: 4 to rove with 1,7,8 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 4,8/1,4,7,8 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 4/1,7,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

Left Is Right is normally a faultless beginner and he should get every chance to score tonight. Four starts back he showed explosive early speed when posting a dazzling 24.99 Ballarat win and if he can show that type of speed in this event they won't get near him. There are a couple of handy ones in this event so you might be able to score around the $3.50 to $4 mark with William Hill.

Trail Blazing has the perfect draw and he should trail the red for most of the journey. He is quite strong in the run home and he just needs to be within two or three lengths of the leader mid-race, my only concern with him is that he can make mistakes early and he may be under the odds.

Gravitation has turned in some stellar performances in recent weeks and he will be suited to the wide draw. With slow beginners on either side tonight he should get every chance to drive through and settle in a threatening position.

Cheap Currency and Dyna Nihilist are both run on types and they must be included in your exotics, both are poorly drawn but they should make a strong move mid race and go past some tiring chasers.

Top Four: 2 – 1 – 6 – 7

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on left Is Right

Boxed Quinella: 1,2,6,7 ($6 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,2/1,2,6,7 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 2/1,6,7/Field ($18 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1,2/1,2/Field ($12 for 100%)

Adam Handler has been racing in rare form of late and he is aiming for his fourth win in a row. There is a fair bit of early speed in this event but three starts back he did post a sizzling 5.06 to the first mark and a repeat of that would just about see him lead again. He has a terrific record here overall and he really looks suited in this.

Mag Bale is an exciting prospect and he destroyed his rivals at Cranbourne recently when recording a blistering 30.08, he can be a little risky at box rise but he does muster speed well and with some luck in running he should be right in the mix.

Jenkins Bale has been a quality chaser for quite a while now and he should be suited by the rails draw, he has a poor record here but most of his racing at this circuit have been in good company.

Dark Jameson could be the value in the race, he is slowly returning to his best form and if he happened to step cleanly he would have sufficient speed to hold them out and score.

Top Four: 5 – 2 – 4 – 1

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Adam Handler with William Hill

Boxed Quinella: 1,2,4,5 ($6 for 100%)

Exacta: 2,4,5/1,2,4,5 ($9 for 100%)

Trifecta: 2,4,5/1,2,4,5/1,2,4,5,6,7 ($36 for 100%)

Crackerjack Max is better than his recent form reads and he should appreciate the massive drop in class tonight. He races best when he can lead and dictate the terms and with a keen railer drawn in four he should get a perfect cart across in the first 50-metres. Last time out he finished just outside the placings in a heat of the Easter Egg and he is better suited back to this circuit.

Lektra Outlaw has the good draw and he should match motors with or sit just behind the yellow for most of the journey, in recent weeks he has scored two handy Sandown Park wins and he should make an impression tonight.

Zanpa Bale is very talented and extremely strong in the run home, if he can settle just behind the speed in the early stages he will test the top two picks in the run home.

Fratelli Fresh is going to be well fancied and she obviously has a great chance, however I think she is going to be well under the odds and she is worth risking.

Top Four: 5 – 1 – 2 – 4

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Crackerjack Max with William Hill

Boxed Quinella: 1,2,4,5 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 5/1,2,4/Field ($18 for 100%)

Lektra Utopia is normally a very safe beginner and he tends to do his best racing over this track and trip. Four starts back he scored a smart all the way win here in 30.06 and he followed that effort up with a top placing behind the classy chaser Dawkins Bale. There isn't much speed around him tonight so he should be able to drive to the early lead and he will prove very hard to reel in when on the lure.

Dyna Brainiac can be a little hit or miss early but he has good speed when he steps cleanly and he was far from disgraced when placed here two runs back. Like Lektra Utopia, he doesn't have much speed drawn around him so he should be afforded all the favours.

Allen Gravion is as honest as they come and he powered to the line in his slick Geelong placing, with some clear running in the early stages he should be right in the mix.

Cette Away can be hard to follow at times but she was a strong 30.07 winner here two runs back and she is drawn to be a factor.

Top Four: 2 – 5 – 4 – 1

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Lektra Utopia

Quinella: 2 to rove with 1,4,5 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 2,5/1,2,4,5 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 2/1,4,5/Field ($18 for 100%)

Agent Jack returned to racing with a strong and fast win at Ballarat in 25.27 and he should prove very hard to catch over this trip. He has scored some sizzling wins at Sandown Park over this distance range and he is a very fast chaser when he can land on the lure. He may be a run short but this race isn't overly strong and he should be able to steal the race.

Enchanted Bling led for a long way here last week before getting tired and she should have derived a lot of benefit from that run. From the red she should be able to settle in the top two and I'm expecting her to hit the line much better than last week.

Dyna Glinda was far from disgraced when placed here last week and she has a good record over this track and trip, she can show early speed at times but she also has the ability to win from off the speed.

Rumero Reason rounds out the chances, he is drawn poorly out wide but he will hit the line hard and if he can find the rail without finding too much bother he shouldn't be too far away.

Top Four: 2 – 1 – 6 – 8

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Agent Jack

Quinella: 2 to rove with 1,6,8 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,2/1,2,6,8 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 2/1,6,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

Tough race with quite a few chances but I think if Elfen Bale can hold them out she might be able to steal the prize. Last week she showed great early speed and she was able to lead for a long way when placed in similar company. She isn't overly strong but she has now had a few hit outs over the 500-metre journey and she should find the line a lot better tonight.

Humphrey Bale has always raced well over this track and trip and he is drawn to get a dream run tonight. He normally shows solid early speed and with the red expected to lead he should be able to rail through at the first bend and settle in a prominent position.

Ollie Bale beat Elfen Bale here last week and with a clear run he would probably win again, however he has drawn in the middle again and he will need quite a bit to go right for him to feature.

Nockabout Aussie could be the value in the event, he is capable of great things when switched on and if the gaps open at the right time mid race he could salute at nice odds.

Top Four: 1 – 2 – 4 – 7

Suggested Bets:

Quinella: 1 to rove with 2,4,7 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,2,7/1,2,4,7 ($9 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1/2,4,7/Field ($18 for 100%)

Earl Bale is much better than his current form reads and he should appreciate the drop in class tonight. He is normally a very reliable beginner and he has fantastic speed, if he can step cleanly tonight he should be able to hold them out at the first bend and he is a different chaser when he is able to lead and dictate the speed. He should be around the $6 mark with William Hill and that appears to be great value.

Light ‘Em Up is a promising speedster and he is in good hands, he can make a mess of the start at times but he musters speed at a rate of knots and this track should suit his high speed.

Dyna Keitaro has the good draw and he can pull out a fast run now and again, the pace on his outside is a small concern but if he can settle just behind the speed he should be there at the ends.

Angel Of Music is a front runner and she must be included in your exotics, she stops in the home straight so I dont think she can win but she might hold on for some minor money.

Top Four: 2 – 6 – 1 – 7

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Earl Bale

Quinella: 2 to rove with 1,6,7 ($3 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1,2,6/1,2,6,7/1,2,3,6,7,8 ($36 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,2,6/1,2,6,7 ($9 for 100%)

Luna Eclipse is blessed with very high speed and with a clear run he should get the cash. Two starts back he showed blistering early speed and he was able to lead all the way and post a scorching 29.78. I dont think any of his rivals can get near that sort of time so with an ounce of luck he should be scoring.

Shanlyn Violet has been placed in all six of her starts with one of those being a win at Geelong in a very slick 25.59. She is hit or miss early but when she hits she has proven she is capable of very good things.

Ima Misha Doll recently captured the breeders series at Geelong and she has beaten Shanlyn Violet in her past two starts, however I think the rise in journey wont suit her as much so I think place claims may be best.

No Diggity could run a cheeky race at odds, she went a quick 5.06 to the first marker here last week and if she happens to cross tonight she should give a bold sight.

Top Four: 5 – 2 – 3 – 8

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Lunar Eclipse with William Hill

Quinella: 5 to rove with 2,3,8 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 2,5,8/2,3,5,8 ($9 for 100%)

Trifecta: 5/2,3,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

Very tough race but I think the strong Penance Allen could be a nice each way bet. With the abundance of speed drawn in boxes one, two and five, she should be able to drop onto the rail just behind them and get the run of the race. She is extremely strong in the run home and if she has them in her sights she may just run over the top of them late.

Eye's Adorable is a lid pinger and I think she has the speed to get across early, she isn't overly strong but she managed to score here in 30.21 last time and a similar effort tonight will see her prove hard to run down.

All Bar One has the good draw and she has won two of three over this journey. She has the speed to settle in the top two and she appears to be getting stronger with every run over this journey.

Tambay Bale is much better than her recent form reads and she should run a cheeky race, she can miss away at times but she will put herself into contention halfway as she does have good mid race speed.

Top Four: 3 – 5 – 1 – 4

Suggested Bets:

Each Way bet on Penance Allen with William Hill

Quinella: 3 to rove with 1,4,5 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,3,5/1,3,4,5 ($9 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1,3,5/1,3,4,5/1,2,3,4,5,8 ($36 for 100%)

Mo Keeping is blessed with a heap of talent and if he does everything right at box rise he should be winning. Once he hits the ground he has high speed and he should be able to breakaway mid race, three starts back he posted a sizzling 25.08 Ballarat win on that performance it's hard to tip against him.

Allen Quarian is an honest type and from the good draw he should run a cheeky race, last time out he was narrowly beaten here in solid time from the same draw.

Noonbarra Joe has the speed to settle on the speed and he has won two of four here, he isn't overly strong but he should hang on for some minor money.

Evers Bale rounds out the chances, he is showing plenty of promise and he will be hitting the line solidly.

Top Four: 7 – 1 – 3 – 5

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Mo Keeping

Quinella: 7 to rove with 1,3,5 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,3,7/1,3,5,7 ($9 for 100%)
