Tough race to kick off the night but the promising Esparza is a member of the in form Ennis kennel and with an ounce of luck she should get us off to a flying start. Two starts ago she pinged the lids and posted a sizzling 29.43 win here, if she repeated that effort she would blow this lot away, my only concern is that she has missed the start on every other occasion to date.

Red Superman is another promising type and he is armed with a great turn of foot. His box manners aren't great but he does knuckle down pretty quickly and if given room in the first 50 or metres he should be able to settle in the top three early. Blistering Bob is very hard to follow but when he is on song he can run serious time. He has been placed in one of his two starts here and with a slow beginner on his outside he should get a fairly clear passage early. Andiamo Neo rounds out the chances, he has been placed in all six starts to date and he has early speed. He is an improving type and he may be worth an each way ticket if he is over the odds.

Top Four: 8 – 2 – 4 – 7

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Esparza

Quinella: 8 to rove with 2,4,7 ($3 for 100%)

Trifecta: 8/2,4,7/Field ($18 for 100%)

Trifecta: 2,4,8/2,4,7,8/1,2,3,4,7,8 ($36 for 100%)

Ronaldo Magic is airborne at present and he looks poised to strike again tonight. He has won two of his past three starts here and on both occasions he has reeled off blistering sectionals. He should get a relatively clear run in the early stages and if he happens to find the bunny early it should be a matter of times and margins.

Weston East is probably the most talented chaser in the event, however he is still learning the caper and he is going to need a lot of luck as they head into the first turn. Two starts ago he scored a scorching 29.36 win here but his first section of 5.21 means that he is unlikely to get things his own way early tonight. No Ransom has a heap of talent when switched on and he appears drawn to make an impact. With three wins from ten tries here, he must be considered a major player. Dyna Norfolk is the interesting runner, he has scored some highly impressive provincial wins and the manner in which he has hit the line suggests that he shouldn't have too much trouble running out this trip.

Top Four: 3 – 2 – 1 – 4

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Ronaldo Magic

Exacta: 1,2,3/1,2,3,4 ($9 for 100%)

Trifecta: 3/1,2,4/Field ($18 for 100%)

Boxed Quinella: 1,2,3,4 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1,2,3/1,2,3,4/1,2,3,4,7,8 ($36 for 100%)

Margins is another member of the powerful Ennis kennel and he should continue on his winning way. He has won four of five to date and his past two wins have been enormous. First he travelled to Ballarat and smashed a handy lineup in a blistering 25.17, he then followed that effort up with a commanding 29.53 win here and he had to overcome difficulties in the early stages last time. With a clean getaway he should settle in the top three early and I would expect him to put a gap in them mid race.

Harden Bale is the run on dog in the event and he looks drawn to get a nice sit early, he has been placed in three of his past four starts and he appears to be nearing another win. Dyna Synch is the interesting runner, I'm a big fan and I think his recent runs are much better than they look, he has won two of six here with a solid 29.91 PB but I think he is a much better chaser now and he should be able to get down to around the 29.50 mark with a clear run. Maintenance Man normally pings the lids and he is one of many potential leaders in this event, he didn't have much luck in his debut here two runs back but he should be much better for that run.

Top Four: 4 – 1 – 2 – 5

Suggested Bets:

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

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

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

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

I know I should have given up on her by now but once again Jewel Bale is going to suck me in. She has been unlucky but also a tad disappointing of late but from the red she should be able to hold a much more prominent position in the early stages and I would expect her to run over the top of them late. I'm surprised that she hasn't stepped up to the longer journey but she is still showing enough at present to stick to the sprinting assignments. She has been very costly of late so dont rush in to take short odds, if she is unders it may be worthwhile just anchoring her in your exotics.

Lamia Bale has been competing in strong company of late and she should appreciate the class drop. She is normally a very reliable beginner and with the lack of speed underneath her she should be able to get a cheap lead. Her run three starts back behind Banjo Boy was highly impressive and she really should finish in the top two tonight. Hekate Belle set the Cranbourne track alight when scoring in 29.98 recently and a repeat of that effort would see her feature tonight. My concern with her is that she can be very inconsistent and she races best when she lands on the bunny, with the early speed of Lamia Bale I can't see her crossing. Upset Boy rounds out the chances, he is very fast when he gets out into the open spaces and if he can get through the first turn without too much bother he can run a big race.

Top Four: 1 – 2 – 3 – 5

Suggested Bets:

Exacta: 1,2/1,2,3,5 ($6 for 100%)

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

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

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

Left Is Right is a real up and comer and he is unbeaten from this draw. This is clearly a rise in class for him, however he has showed that he can run serious time when on the bunny and from the red he should be able to hold them out. Last week he led for a long way and was only gunned down near the line by the talented Bazza's Gift, if he can hold them out he should be able to set up a good break mid race and that should be enough for him to score.

Farmor Las Vegas is clearly the class factor and he has won three of ten here. He has the rare ability of being able to lead or come from off the speed in his races and with the slow beginning Tick Bale drawn underneath he should get every chance in the early stages. Joey Valdez is a little hit or miss early but when he does step he is capable of running the hands off the clock, I dont think he will lead tonight but he should get a nice sit behind Left Is Right and he should be able to apply some strong pressure mid race. Zambora Magic rounds out the chances, he returned to form with a sizzling 30.05 Cranbourne win last time and if he gets away cleanly he is more than capable of featuring.

Top Four: 1 – 5 – 2 – 7

Suggested Bets:

Boxed Quinella: 1,2,5,7 ($6 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,2,5/1,2,5,7 ($9 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1/2,5,7/Field ($18 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1,2,5/1,2,5,7/1,2,3,4,5,7 ($36 for 100%)

Sweet It Is has won two in a row and this class act looks well placed to notch up the hat trick. She is likely to trail them early but she has destroyed similar line-ups in her past two victories. She is clearly the best stayer in the land and she returns to what is probably her favourite track. The bookies are going to open her up short odds but I think it is worth anchoring her in exotics and banking on her in the quaddie.

Zipping Rory scored a blistering 41.75 Wentworth Park win three runs back and he is drawn to find the early lead tonight. His form is extremely inconsistent but he is a big talent when he can find the bunny early in his races, with two wins from six tries here and a 41.67 PB, he may just give the favourite something to catch. Zipping Maggie has cooled off in her past four runs after taking the staying world by storm in August and September. She has the speed to settle in the top two early and her recent effort when placed behind Sweet It Is at Wentworth Park was far from disappointing. Bailey Rose could be the value in the exotics, she has been placed in three of four here and she hasn't been too far away in similar company of late.

Top Four: 3 – 1 – 2 – 6

Suggested Bets:

Trifecta: 3/1,2,6/Field ($15 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1,2,6/3/Field ($15 for 100%)

Exacta: 3/1,2,6 ($3 for 100%)

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

Sisco Rage is flying again and he is a massive chance of notching up his fourth victory in a row. The box draw is against him tonight but luckily he has slow beginners all around him so if he can get away cleanly he should be able to settle in the top two of three early and he is then likely to go into overdrive mid race. He has proven in his career to be a super talent when he gets clear galloping room and with the lack of speed in tonight's race he should get every chance to show his best.

Sonic Pirate is the likely leader in the event and he has been placed in his past six starts here. He will set a cracking pace but in recent weeks his last 40m has been a struggle, if they happen to bunch up behind him tonight he may just steal the prize. Wind Whistler could be a star stayer in the making and he should improve on his luckless middle distance debut at The Meadows. He is likely to get back early but the manner in which he has hit the line over 500m suggests that this journey will be right up his alley. Kayo Marciarno is another run on dog and he is a great dog to anchor for third and fourth in your exotics, clearly not good enough to win but he is always thereabouts.

Top Four: 6 – 1 – 5 – 3

Suggested Bets:

Trifecta: 6/1,3,5/Field ($18 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1,5,6/1,3,5,6/1,2,3,5,6,7 ($36 for 100%)

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

Exacta: 1,5,6/1,3,5,6 ($9 for 100%)

First Four: 1,5,6/1,5,6/3/Field ($30 for 100%)

First Four: 1,5,6/1,5,6/Field/3 ($30 for 100%)

Quality lineup and its hard to look past the explosive Awesome Project, he has won six of ten here and his effort in the Top Gun was very impressive. There isn't a lot of speed drawn on his outside so if he can get away with them on terms he should have enough natural speed to be up outside Dyna Nico as they negotiate the first turn. His middle section is the strongest part of his race so he should put a gap in them as they head for the back straight, if you can get around $2.40 I think that is great value.

Dyna Yemen is a star in the making and he is more than capable of matching it with the favourite, however he is still learning the caper and he can be slow to begin at times. The red draw is a definite advantage and he should be able to fill the quinella spot. Campaspe Will has an enormous engine and if the good Campaspe Will turns up he is more than capable of rolling Awesome Project. His PB of 29.18 here is off the charts and if he can get an ounce of luck early he should be right in the finish. Babylon Club could be the surprise packet, in recent weeks he has turned in some monster efforts here and he is well placed out wide.

Top Four: 3 – 1 – 4 – 6

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Awesome Project

Trifecta: 3/1,4,6/Field ($18 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1,3,4/1,3,4,6/1,2,3,4,6,7 ($36 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,3,4/1,3,4,6 ($9 for 100%)

Heaps Of Ability returned to the winners list at Cranbourne in a scorching 41.35 and on that occasion he beat the classy Zipping Spike fair and square. He isn't the best of beginners but he does muster speed well and if he can settle in the top four you should see him make a race winning move mid race. He has a ridiculous 41.69 PB here and if he runs anywhere near that he should win with ease.

Starc looks the likely leader and he has a solid record here, last week he was in the mix for the entire journey and he only went down narrowly in fast time, if he can reproduce that effort he will be right in the finish. Love Affair is a promising staying type and she turned in a solid effort when placed behind Sweet It Is last time out. She has the ability to lead or come from off the speed in her races so all she requires is a little bit of luck in running. Nureyev has solid place prospects and he must be included in your exotics, he can't win the event but he can run homer into some minor money.

Top Four: 4 – 5 – 2 – 6

Suggested Bets:

Trifecta: 4/2,5,6/Field ($18 for 100%)

Exacta: 2,4,5/2,4,5,6 ($9 for 100%)

Quinella: 4 to rove with 2,5,6 ($3 for 100%)

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

Azza Azza Azza made his debut here last week and he should be much better for the run. On that occasion he was slow to begin and he had to work overtime mid race, tonight he doesn't have a lot of speed around him so he should have enough natural dash to find the early lead and I would expect him to run some serious time on the bunny tonight.

Nockabout Aussie has an enormous engine and when he sees daylight he can produce an amazing sprint, from the poor draw tonight he will need a few things to go his way but if they do he will be right in the finish. El Grand Seal should settle on the speed with the favourite and she should give a good sight, she isn't strong enough to win but she can hold on for a place. Cornelius Fudge is much better than his recent form suggests and he will be hitting the line strongly, it may be a good idea to anchor him for third and fourth in your exotic bets.

Top Four: 3 – 7 – 5 – 1

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Azza Azza Azza

Trifecta: 3/1,5,7/Field ($18 for 100%)

Trifecta: 3,5,7/1,3,5,7/1,3,4,5,6,7 ($36 for 100%)

First Four: 3,5,7/3,5,7/1/Field ($30 for 100%)

First Four: 3,5,7/3,5,7/Field/1 ($30 for 100%)

Going for a bit of value in this event with Lektra Hawk, he is likely to start at good odds but he is highly talented and he is worth an each way ticket. He is risky at box rise but when he steps he is capable of matching it with the best of them. If he can reproduce his 29.50 PB effort he should give a great sight.

Praise Chorus is the likely leader and his recent efforts haven't been that bad, he is rising a little in class tonight but I would expect him to have a nice lead mid race and he may be able to hang on. Pure Mayhem has a great record and he was a recent strong 34.48 winner here over 595m, with a clear run early he should figure prominently again. Dyna Glinda probably has the most talent in the event but she isn't the most reliable, if she gets away like she did at Cranbourne last time then she becomes a major player.

Top Four: 5 – 3 – 4 – 2

Suggested Bets:

Win bets on Praise Chorus and Lektra Hawk

Boxed Quinella: 2,3,4,5 ($6 for 100%)

Exacta: 3,4,5/2,3,4,5 ($9 for 100%)

Race 12 – 515M Grade 5 – 10.58pm

One Dee is a highly promising speedster and she recently set the track alight at Bendigo when posting a scorching 23.63 victory. She is normally a very good beginner and there is absolutely no speed in this event, she should find herself in front at the first bend and from there on it should be a procession.

Dyna Nihilist has been placed in five of six here and when he is switched on he is capable of just about anything. He is likely to settle back in the field but if the gaps open up at the right time he should be right in the mix. Weblec Belle has won three of four over this journey and she appears to be improving with every run, the wide draw is a little concern tonight but if she gets through the first turn she shouldn't be too far away. Morson Senor rounds out the chances, he has the good draw and he should be in contention for most of the journey.

Top Four: 5 – 4 – 8 – 1

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on One Dee

Exacta: 4,5,8/1,4,5,8 ($9 for 100%)

Trifecta: 5/1,4,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

Quinella: 5 to rove with 1,4,8 ($3 for 100%)
