I have put her on top in her past couple and she has let us down but I'm willing to give her one more chance. Last week she found a heap of bother soon after the start but she managed to charge home and she went down by less than three lengths. This is the weakest race she has contested for a while and she really does look the winner.

Left Is Right is a highly promising speedster and he should prove hard to reel in based on his top 29.57 win here last Sunday. On that occasion he posted a smart 5.09 to the first marker and a repeat of that should just about see him lead again. Flame Bale has won three of eight starts and she appears to be getting stronger with every run, she will need some luck when trying to cross from the pink but if she does she should be thereabouts. Jess' Fantasy is a strong and consistent chaser and she races well here, she is a must for your exotic bets.

Top Four: 5 – 2 – 8 – 6

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Jewel Bale

Quinella: 5 to rove with 2,6,8 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 2,5,8/2,5,6,8 ($9 for 100%)

Trifecta: 5/2,6,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

Trifecta: 2,5,8/2,5,6,8/2,3,4,5,6,8 ($36 for 100%)

Mantaray Lad has a heap of talent when he is switched on and he returned to form with a strong 38.01 Shepparton win last week. From the red I would expect him to punch through and hold the early lead and from there on he should prove too strong. He has a tendency to non chase at times but he is a different dog when he lands on the bunny.

Julie Bale has a great record over this distance range and she is blessed with terrific track sense. From the middle pin she is going to need a few breaks early on but if she can settle mid field without too much bother she should be able to make a strong move mid race and put herself in contention. Why Not Wayne has been placed in two of four over this journey and he has a great record from wide draws. He has enough speed to settle in the top two early and he should give a great sight at each way odds. Abbey's Hand is the interesting runner, she is much better than her recent form suggests and if she goes around at silly odds she may be worth a saver bet.

Top Four: 1 – 5 – 6 – 2

Suggested Bets:

Trifecta: 1/2,5,6/Field ($18 for 100%)

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

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

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

Dewana Result is a superstar in the making and he looked super impressive when scoring a sizzling 29.43 heat win. I have no doubts that with a clear run he could easily get down to the 29.10 mark but the only concern with him is that he can miss the kick at times and if he does miss away tonight there is every chance that he may be posted wide at the first bend. If he goes round at $1.50 or shorter he is definitely worth laying.

Full On Bling is showing some promise and he is going to be a great staying prospect in the coming months. He is likely to get back early but there are a few front runners who struggle to run the trip in this event so he may be able to pick them off late in the race. No Ransom has the good draw and he has won here previously in a zippy 29.61, with a clean getaway he should be able to just about hold the early lead and he should give a great sight. Personally I would wait and see what fixed odds show up and then go from there, if Full On Bling is nice odds the place or if you get big odds about the inside three, it may be worth having something on them all straight out. The pink is an exciting talent but the pink draw does worry me a little

Top Four: 8 – 1 – 2 – 3

Suggested Bets:

Boxed Quinella: 1,2,3,8 ($6 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,2,8/1,2,3,8 ($9 for 100%)

Win bets on 1,2,3 if over the odds

Place bet on Full On Bling

Flying Twist is a reliable beginner and she has been flying over this journey of late. There isn't a lot of depth in this event and if she reproduces her 41.90 winning effort here two runs back she should win with ease. There is a little bit of speed drawn on her outer, however there is no speed at all underneath so everything points in her direction.

Beks is the run on dog in the event and he has been racing in very consistent style of late, he is going to get a long way back early but he works his way through a field quite well and he should be able to fill the quinella spot. Nureyev is unbeaten in two runs from this draw and he is much better than his recent form reads. I dont think he is good enough to win but he is a must for all your exotic bets. Supersonic Hawk rounds out the chances, he is better suited to a shorter trip but in this class he can settle in the top two early and maybe hang on for some minor money.

Top Four: 6 – 4 – 8 – 2

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Flying Twist

Trifecta: 6/2,4,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

Trifecta: 4,6/4,6/Field ($12 for 100%)

Trifecta: 6/4/Field ($6 for 100%)

Exacta: 4,6/2,4,6,8 ($6 for 100%)

Mepunga Hayley can be extremely hard to follow but when she is on song she can match it with any chaser in the land. Last week in a heat of the Adelaide Cup, she came out well and was about to settle in a winning position but she then copped a knock and was put out of contention. Tonight she has a slow beginner drawn directly underneath so that should allow her to get a clear passage in the early stages and if she finds the bunny she will take a power of beating.

Dyna Ostrander is another with a number of gears and he hasn't had a lot of luck in recent times, if he can step on terms with them tonight he should be able to settle in the top two or three early and he can then show punters his true ability. Banjo Boy has turned in two solid efforts since returning from a spell and he should be almost ready to show his best, I would prefer him from a wider draw but he has won three of four from this box. Zipping Weston is a star NSW chaser and he really caught the eye with a blistering 29.69 Wentworth Park win, this is his toughest test and he will need some luck in the first 50m.

Top Four: 3 – 5 – 1 – 8

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Mepunga Hayley

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

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

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

Dyna Perseus finally showed his best with a brilliant 42.08 heat win last week and with a clean getaway tonight he should be able to lead throughout again. He can make a lot of mistakes in his races but there isn't much speed underneath him tonight so he should get a relatively clear run in the initial stages.

Blinker's On will start favourite and he set the track alight with a blistering 41.71 heat win, he will obviously take a power of beating again but with his racing pattern, he is likely to settle back in the field early and he will need a few gaps to open at the right time for him to get the cash. Bailey Rose was very unlucky in her heat and she has been placed in three of four over this trip, she is likely to start over the odds and she may be worth a saver bet. Just Ducal has the good draw and he continues to improve with more racing. Like the favourite, he will settle back in the field but he will keep coming and he is a must for your exotic bets.

Top Four: 4 – 3 – 7 – 1

Suggested Bets:

Win bets on Dyna Perseus and Bailey Rose

Boxed Quinella: 1,3,4,7 ($6 for 100%)

Exacta: 3,4,7/1,3,4,7 ($9 for 100%)

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

Quality race and the freakish Hostile appears drawn to get the cash. Four starts ago he overcame a slow start to post a brilliant 29.56 win here and from the red I would expect him to begin a lot better and on the bunny he could probably get down to the 29.20 mark or even a tad faster. He can be a little unreliable at times but from the red he should get all the breaks.

Clash Of Kings is a real up and comer and his effort in a heat of the Adelaide Cup last week was enormous. He is better from a rails draw but he has enough natural early speed to cross if he can get away on terms. Wind Whistler is extremely consistent and he posted his impressive 29.49 PB here from this draw, he is likely to get a long way back early but he has terrific track sense and he can work his way through a field. Above All is another highly promising speedster, he will need some luck in the first 50m and I think he may be under the odds tonight. Kiss Me Ketut is the interesting runner, he is a Group One winner and he should be ready to fire first up from a spell.

Top Four: 1 – 7 – 8 – 3

Suggested Bets:

Trifecta: 1/3,7,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1,7,8/1,3,7,8/1,2,3,5,7,8 ($36 for 100%)

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

Exacta: 1,7,8/1,3,7,8 ($9 for 100%)

The great Xylia Allen returns to the sprinting caper in an effort to capture the Melbourne Cup before she retires. I think she is capable of making the adjustment and matching it with the countries best sprinters. Prior to commencing a staying career, she had won numerous Group races over the sprint and she has a breathtaking 29.07 PB here. With an ounce of luck early she should take a power of beating.

Cawbourne Whip has the good draw and she has scored some ridiculously fast wins in NSW, she is blessed with smart early speed and if she can handle the track at her first look she should give a great sight. Shoulders is another gun NSW chaser and he can reel off sizzling sectionals when on the bunny, he has missed the kick in his past two starts but prior to that he was pinging the lids and flying. Superfonic could be the value, he is improving with every run and he has enough early speed to cross and lead.

Top Four: 2 – 1 – 8 – 4

Suggested Bets:

Trifecta: 2/1,4,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,2/1,2,4,8 ($6 for 100%)

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

Quinella: 2 to rove with 1,4,8 ($3 for 100%)

Agent Jack returned to form with a scorching 29.27 win here last week and from the red he should be able to go back to back. Last week he stepped well and hit the first marker in 5.03, a similar start tonight would see him punch through and hold the lead with ease and it's hard to see him being run down whilst running 29.30 or better on the bunny.

Crawf's Bread is no world beater but he is super consistent and he has a great record over this track and trip. He normally begins well and he should settle in the top three early, he isn't overly strong but if there is some trouble behind him he may just steal the prize. Hellyeah Bolt is a classy Tasmanian and he should be able to find the rails in the early stages, he is likely to be big over's and he is more than capable of winning a race like this. Tiggerlong Amigo is back in form and he races well here, my only concern with him is that there is a lot of speed drawn on his outside and he may get into some early bother.

Top Four: 1 – 8 – 3 – 5

Suggested Bets:

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

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

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

Trifecta: 1,3,8/1,3,5,8/1,3,5,6,7,8 ($36 for 100%)

Sonic Pirate led for a long way when placed here last week and he looks well placed in this event. He has began well in his past three starts and with a clean getaway again he should be able to cross to the early lead. He has proven that he can reel off very smart sectionals when on the bunny and he should be good value in this event.

Zell Bale is well drawn out wide and he looked impressive when scoring a strong 29.95 Wentworth Park win last time. With a slow beginner on his outside, he should get a clear run in the first 50m and he should match motors with Sonic Pirate for most of the journey. He Isn't Really is much better than his recent efforts suggest and he should be able to regain some confidence tonight. Mepunga Tiara has a good record here and she had no luck at all at The Meadows over 525m last time. With an even getaway she should be able to settle much closer to the speed and therefore run a much stronger race.

Top Four: 6 – 7 – 8 – 3

Suggested Bets:

Win bets on Sonic Pirate and Zell Bale

Boxed Quinella: 3,6,7,8 ($6 for 100%)

Exacta: 6,7,8/3,6,7,8 ($9 for 100%)

Trifecta: 6,7,8/3,6,7,8/3,4,5,6,7,8 ($36 for 100%)

Duchess Bale has the class edge and she is aiming for a hat trick of wins. After scoring a strong 34.81 Meadows win, she pinged the lids and posted a commanding 29.53 win here. In her last start win she posted a ridiculous 4.99 to the first marker and a similar effort tonight would see her lead from go to whoa again.

Lady Goldenpaw is armed with smart early speed and she is much better than his past three runs suggest. With three wins from 11 attempts here she should run a cheeky race at nice odds. Creative Karisma is an exciting prospect and he surprisingly pinged the lids here last week when winning in 29.34. If he pings again then he obviously wins, but I think last week may have been a one off. Heidi Go Seek is another who races well here and she is dropping in class tonight, I don't think she can win but she has great place prospects at good odds.

Top Four: 4 – 2 – 1 – 7

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Duchess Bale

Boxed Quinella: 1,2,4,7 ($6 for 100%)

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

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

Race 12 – 515M Grade 5 – 10:58PM

I think we can find some value to finish off the night. Dyna Beth exits a favourable draw and she is much better than her recent form reads. Although it was a long time ago, she was placed in the Group One Melbourne Cup here and she has ability to ping and lead in her races. If she happens to cross early she will prove very hard to run down at big odds.

Pedro's Runaway has been racing in consistent style and he was far from disgraced when placed here last week. His chances will be enhanced if the red can punch through and hold the early lead. Agility recently scored a strong 30.39 Meadows win and he has a habit of running big races when big odds. If he can get some luck in the initial stages he should be prominent for most of the trip. Cobra Bale is going to be well fancied and he is racing in career best form, the concern with him is that he may find too much trouble from the awkward draw.

Top Four: 8 – 2 – 7 – 1

Suggested Bets:

Win bets on Dyna Beth and Pedro's Runaway

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

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

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