Tough race to kick off the night but I think the improving Kallara Gem can get the job done. After a solid Sandown Park placing he posted impressive sectionals when scoring a handy 30.71 heat win last week. With a clean getaway again she should be able to lead throughout again.

Unova Bale hit the line hard when placed in her heat and she should continue to improve. She is probably better suited to a wider draw but she looks the most likely to improve after last week's heat efforts. Spring Candy pinged the lids in her solid 30.64 heat win and she should be in the mix again, with slow beginners drawn either side she should get a clear run in the early stages. Spring Millie is well drawn out wide and she looked a likely type in her 30.68 heat win, she might get posted a little wide early but she should run home into a place.

Top Four: 5 – 3 – 2 – 8

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Kallara Gem

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

Exacta: 3,5/2,3,5,8 ($6 for 100%)

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

The well bred Zelemar Zest is in good hands and he really caught the eye when posting a sizzling 23.97 Bendigo win in September. He has had nearly two months off and he should be ready to fire first up from a spell. With a lack of speed underneath him, he should be able to find the rails soon after box rise and the manner in which he hit the line at Bendigo suggests that he will prove hard to run down over this journey.

Tantrum Tommy has been placed in six of his nine starts to date and he powered to the line when placed here last week. Once again he hasn't drawn too well but there is quite a bit of speed drawn underneath so he should get a fairly clear passage early. Dyna Zerg is much better than his recent form reads and he could run a cheeky race at odds. He normally shows early speed in his races and if he can cross early he may just get away with a race winning lead off the back straight. Laurie's Chance rounds out the winning hopes, he has been placed in five of seven here and he will be very strong in the run to the line.

Top Four: 2 – 5 – 6 – 1

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Zelemar Zest

Quinella: 2 to rove with 1,5,6 ($3 for 100%)

Zipping Maggie was in rare form in August and September and although she is dropping back in distance she looks very well placed. In recent times she has been pinging the lids and matching motors with the countries best stayers, if she can ping away again tonight she should be able to settle in the top three early and she should be far too strong in the run to the line.

Texas Titan makes the step up in distance after turning in some super impressive performances at Angle Park and Cranbourne. Three starts ago he stormed to the line when winning a heat of the Adelaide Cup in 29.74 and his racing pattern indicates that he is looking for this distance range, he is also a wide runner so the seven box should be a big advantage. Tarks Nemesis is resuming from a spell and she has won two of four over this trip. From the red she should be able to settle in a prominent position and if she is near peak fitness she will prove hard to hold out. Zell Bale is currently in good form and he has a habit of bobbing up at nice odds, the middle pin is actually a good draw for him and he should run a cheeky race.

Top Four: 4 – 7 – 1 – 5

Suggested Bets:

Trifecta: 4/1,5,7/Field ($18 for 100%)

Trifecta: 4,7/4,7/Field ($12 for 100%0

Exacta: 4,7/1,4,5,7 ($6 for 100%)

Quinella: 4 to rove with 1,5,7 ($3 for 100%)

Quality lineup and I've decided to go with the well drawn Musquin Bale. After a string of luckless performances he bounced back to his best with a dazzling 29.29 Sandown Park win. From the red he should punch through and lead at the first turn and based on his sectionals at Sandown he should be able to build up a nice break mid race.

Zipping Rory is classy stayer when on song and he may be suited by the drop back to 600m. Two starts ago he exploded out of the boxes before scoring a brilliant 41.75 Wentworth Park win and in the process he rolled the champion stayer Sweet It Is. Warrior King is much better than his recent form suggests and he should get plenty of room in the early stages from the pink draw. He can be hard to follow at times but when he lands on the lure there aren't many chasers in the land that can go with him. Eliza Blanche is going to be well supported and she is in rare form, my only concern with her is that she is desperate for the rails and from box six she is likely to find lots of bother soon after box rise.

Top Four: 1 – 3 – 8 – 5

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Musquin Bale

Quinella: 1 to rove with 3,5,8 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,3,8/1,3,5,8 ($9 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1/3,5,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

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

Sweet It Is finally returned to the winners list at Wentworth Park last time and it's hard to tip against this class act. She is going to trail them early but she should make a strong move mid race and she will prove far too strong for these.

Love Affair really caught my eye when placed here last week and she should make the favourite work for victory. Last week she bombed the start but she managed to hit the line in good fashion. She is normally a much better beginner and if she can settle in the top three she should be in the mix at nice odds. Beks does his best racing here and with some luck in running he should be thereabouts. In recent months he has been racing in strong company here and he has been more than competitive. Mystic Twist is the interesting runner, she has posted some brilliant middle distance wins at Sandown and if she can handle the rise in distance she should give a great sight. Bekim Hatrick and Zipping Joe are another two which need to be included in your exotic bets, both will settle around mid field but both are strong and rarely far away over this trip.

Top Four: 2 – 3 – 4 – 6

Suggested Bets:

Boxed Quinella: 2,3,4,6 ($6 for 100%)

Exacta: 2,3/2,3,4,6 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 2/3,4,6/Field ($18 for 100%)

Xylia Allen is the current record holder over this journey and it takes a brave man to tip against her. She was a tad disappointing at Sandown park over the 515m trip last time out but I would expect her to be much better for that run and improvement is expected. She is unlikely to start flashy odds but this race is quite weak so it's probably best to anchor her in exotic bets.

Deadly Boy was a recent 34.46 winner here recently and on that occasion he reeled off a sizzling 8.94 to the first marker. With a similar getaway tonight he should be able to find the early lead and he will give a great sight. Lady Toy is the run on dog in the event and she is a great dog to anchor for third and fourth in your exotics, she will give away a big start but she will be powering to the line. Lou Todd led for a long way when placed at Sandown Park last time and he has been placed in four of five over this trip, if he can settle in the top two he should be able to hold on for a place.

Top Four: 7 – 5 – 3 – 2

Suggested Bets:

Trifecta: 7/2,3,5/Field ($18 for 100%)

First Four: 7/2,5/3/Field ($10 for 100%)

First Four: 7/2,5/Field/3 ($10 for 100%)

Quinella: 7 to rove with 2,3,5 ($3 for 100%)

Looks to be a very skinny quaddie tonight as we get to see the freakish My Bro Fabio strut his stuff. He recently captured the Canberra Cup and he then followed that up with two breathtaking Sandown Park wins. The box draw doesn't really suit him tonight but he is absolutely flying at present and it's hard to see him getting rolled.

Cosmic Wise is drawn to fire to the early lead and she has a good record over this track and trip. She was a recent finalist in the Adelaide Cup and after a flat spot mid race she tends to hit the line very well. Wind Whistler has been crying out for this distance and if the favourite happens to find trouble he could be there to capitalise. He is well placed out wide and he only needs an ounce of luck in the first 50m to feature. Flying Twist is ideally suited in the pink draw and she is aiming for five wins in a row, her most recent racing has been done over the 700m distance range but she is unbeaten in two tries here and she has been showing great early speed in her recent staying efforts.

Top Four: 2 – 1 – 6 – 8

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on My Bro Fabio

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

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

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

Ridiculously hard race to assess but I'm going to give the edge to the in form Allen Deed. Presently he is probably the most tenacious chaser in training and he recently captured the Group One Adelaide Cup Final. He has been beginning a lot better in recent times and he trialled here last week in preparation for this event and he ran the hands off the clock when posting a blistering 29.63. If he can get a clear run in the initial stages he will figure in the finish.

Chica Destacada looks the danger, she is well placed in the red draw and she has set the track alight in some of her Wentworth Park wins in recent months. If she happens to ping and hold them out early she will give a great sight on the bunny. Keybow is resuming from a spell but he is in good hands and I'm sure his connections will have him cherry ripe for this assignment. Zipping Willow should get plenty of room in the initial stages and if she can settle in the top three she should make an impact. The only concern is that there is a fair bit of early speed in this event and she may get posted wide in the early stages.

Top Four: 7 – 1 – 2 – 8

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Allen Deed

Boxed Quinella: 1,2,7,8 ($6 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,7/1,2,7,8 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 7/1,2,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

Ralphy Cinel has notched up the hat trick at Sandown Park last week when scoring in a scintillating 34.10 and from the red he should get every chance to lead throughout. There is very little speed drawn on his outside and he is unbeaten in three runs here, you will be asked to take around $2.50 but it looks a good bet to me.

Dream It is a super talent and he turned in a big performance when placed behind My Bro Fabio at Sandown Park last time, over this journey he should settle in the top two or three early and he should be right there at the finish. Dyna Orion is the run on dog in the event and he overcame numerous difficulties when winning at Sandown Park last time. He is going to need a lot of luck again but if they shuffle up in front he should be there to pounce. Kiltah Magic will be well supported and the middle distance should suit, however from the wide draw tonight she will need a few things to go her way early.

Top Four: 1 – 5 – 4 – 3

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Ralphy Cinel

Boxed Quinella: 1,3,4,5 ($6 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,5/1,3,4,5 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1/3,4,5/Field ($18 for 100%)

Babylon Club is making his middle distance debut tonight and he has turned in some monster efforts at Sandown Park of late. I have a bit of a concern about him running out the trip but he is perfectly placed out wide and I expect him to build up a huge lead mid race and he should then have enough in the tank as they round for home.

Bessy Boo is a gun NSW speedster and he too should be suited to this journey. He is a keen railer and if he can get through the first turn unscathed he should make a big impact. He is having his first look at the track but he finds himself in the weakest heat so there should be no excuses. Rumero Reason is much better than his recent form reads and he can return to form at his favourite track and trip. Julie Bale is facing her toughest test but with some luck in running she should be up to the task, three runs back she led all the way at Sandown in a speedy 34.39.

Top Four: 7 – 2 – 5 – 6

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Babylon Club

Exacta: 2,7/2,5,6,7 ($6 for 100%)

Quinella: 7 to rove with 2,5,6 ($3 for 100%)

Trifecta: 7/2,5,6/Field ($18 for 100%)

Oscura recently set the Geelong track alight when scoring there in an eye popping 25.52. On that occasion he settled just off the speed and powered to the line, tonight over the middle distance he should once again settle in the top three and he should then give them wind burn as they head to the back straight. He is going to need some luck in the first 50m but he has a speedy beginner underneath so he should get a nice cart across early.

Gorham Bale is an exciting prospect and he has been crying out for this journey, he has posted two strong 525m wins here in recent weeks and he looks a major chance to notch up the hat trick. Maximum Lil is proven over this distance range and she should give a great sight on the bunny. She can stitch up in the last 40m at times but if she gets away from them early she may just steal the prize. Bookkeeper is the interesting runner, he previously held the track record over this journey and he is well placed in the red, however his two runs from a spell have been far from impressive.

Top Four: 5 – 4 – 8 – 6

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Oscura

Trifecta: 5/1,4,6,8/1,4,6,8 ($12 for 100%)

Trifecta: 5/4,6,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

Exacta: 4,5/4,5,6,8 ($6 for 100%)

Quinella: 5 to rove with 4,6,8 ($3 for 100%)

Race 12 – 525M Mixed 4/5 – 11.17PM

Tough race to finish off the night but I think the speedy Frank Furter can lead throughout. After a string of poor performances he finally showed his best with a slick placing at Warragul over 460m which he then followed up with a blistering 25.89 win. He has a good record here and this race appears to lack genuine early speed, so with a clean getaway he shouldn't have too much trouble crossing and if he does he should get the cash.

Scenic Shot is racing well and with an ounce of luck early he should be in the finish again. He can be a little hit or miss early but in recent times he has been stepping well, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt. Quantum Bale scored a powerful 30.26 win here last week and he should be thereabouts again. The box draw hasn't done him any favours but he tends to work his way through a field with ease. Cruiser's Sol has the good draw and if he holds them out he is likely to figure in the finish, he is very talented when on the lure and he just needs a good getaway to be a key player in this event.

Top Four: 5 – 2 – 1 – 6

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Frank Furter

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

Exacta: 1,2,5/1,2,5,6 ($9 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1,2,5/1,2,5,6/1,2,3,4,5,6 ($36 for 100%)
