Hula is a member of a highly promising litter and she finally delivered at Warrnambool last time after three steady efforts. Last time out she showed great early speed when posting a speedy 25.59 and if she can show similar early speed tonight she should be able to lead throughout again. The last 50m is a concern but if she holds them out she should be able to build a nice lead mid race.

Zabimaru Bale has been placed in all five tries here and two of those efforts have been strong wins. He isn't favourably drawn out wide but the six has a bit of speed early and that should give him a nice cart across in the early stages.

Tiger's Hero has won two on the trot here and his winning time of 30.22 last time was a big improvement on his previous win and he appears to be going from strength to strength.

Go Go Treatment scored a brilliant 25.83 Geelong win on debut and if she can handle the track at her first look she can play a major role.

Top Four: 1 – 7 – 6 – 8

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Hula

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

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

Trifecta: 1/6,7,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

Got The Picture didn't have a lot of luck when placed here last time but at his start prior he did post an impressive and powerful 30.24 Cranbourne win. Tonight he has slow beginners drawn on either side so he should get every chance to drive through and find the early lead and he is a very fast chaser when on the lure.

Axis Bale has the class edge and he is much better than his recent form reads. In recent weeks he has been racing in open class and he hasn't had a lot of luck in running. He is suitably drawn nearer the inside and if he can settle in a prominent position he will take a power of beating.

Vermont has won three of four in his brief career and his latest win at Warrnambool in 25.30 was eye catching, this is his toughest test to date but he looks up to the challenge.

Top Four: 3 – 2 – 1 – 8

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Got The Picture

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

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

Trifecta: 3/1,2,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

Satsuki Bale is dropping considerably in class tonight and with a clean getaway she should get the cash. In recent weeks she has taken on some classy speedsters and she hasn't had much luck soon after box rise, tonight there doesn't appear to be much speed drawn around her and she should get all the breaks in the run to the first turn.

Earl Bale should match motors with Satsuki Bale for most of the journey and he is getting a little stronger with every run, if he doesn't cross to the lead then he can't win, but if he sits behind the leader he should be able to hang on for the quinella spot.

Watch My Path turned in a great effort when placed at Sandown last time and a similar effort tonight will see her figure prominently.

Nala's Heart is the interesting runner, she has done little in her three Victorian runs but she did show great talent early in her career in QLD.

Top Four: 4 – 8 – 6 – 7

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Satsuki Bale

Quinella: 4 to rove with 6,7,8 (3 for 100%)

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

Trifecta: 4/6,7,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

Wind Whistler has been a little disappointing of late but from the favourable wide draw he should be able to get into some open space early and return to form. This race features quite a few chasers who must lead to win and they are all suspect at the journey, so if he can settle mid pack he should be able to reel them in as they turn for home.

Dyna Fulcrum is poorly drawn but he did post an impressive 34.58 win here from this draw recently and with some luck early he should be in the mix, his box manners aren't great but he does possess a good turn of foot.

Sonic Pirate is armed with smart early speed and he scored a handy 35.01 win here last time, if he can ping to the early lead he should prove very hard to reel in.

Macca's Sway could be the value, he has been placed in two of three tries over this trip and he has been racing in strong company of late.

Top Four: 8 – 6 – 2 – 5

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Wind Whistler

Boxed Quinella: 2,5,6,8 ($6 for 100%)

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

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

Bekim Hatrick is well drawn out wide and after two runs from a spell he should be ready to fire. He has done his most recent racing over the 515m journey, so back up to the 725m trip he should settle a lot closer to the speed than normal and I would expect him to put a gap in them mid race.

Kiltah Magic is expected to lead for a long way and she recently scored at Wentworth Park in a smart 42.40, if she can turn in a similar effort tonight she should give them something to catch.

Deadly Boy is expected to match motors with Kiltah Magic for most of the journey and he should give a great sight, the last 50m is a concern but I think he has a great chance of running out the journey.

Evie Jane rounds out the chances, she has turned in three great efforts here of late and with some luck early she will be in the mix again.

Top Four: 7 – 2 – 3 – 6

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Bekim Hatrick

Boxed Quinella: 2,3,6,7 ($6 for 100%)

Exacta: 2,3,7/2,3,6,7 ($9 for 100%)

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

Alex's Entity is airborne at present and with an even getaway he should be able to make every post a winner. Two runs back he posted a slick 29.96 victory here and the most impressive part of the victory was that he managed to come from off the speed.

Buckle Up Mason has a great record here and he is still racing quite well. This race lacks early speed and he should go with the red for most of the journey, I dont think he can beat the red but he should grab the quinella spot. Quantum Bale turned in a big effort when placed behind Marcus Joe two runs back and a repeat performance will see him feature in the finish. Allen Eryk rounds out the chances, he should be suited by the wide draw and he loves racing over this track and trip.

Top Four: 1 – 7 – 6 – 8

Suggested Bets:

Trifecta: 1/6,7,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

Quinella: 1 to rove with 6,7,8 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,6,7/1,6,7,8 ($9 for 100%)

Love Affair is well placed in the wide draw and she tends to do her best racing here. She likes to scout wide in her races and with a clean getaway she should be able to settle in the first half of the field. This is the easiest race she has contested for a while and she should get every chance to make an impact.

Decanus is making his staying debut and he is in astute hands. His recent efforts over 525m have been impressive and he gives every indication that the longer journey will suit and he should also be able to settle a lot closer to the speed than normal tonight.

Lites And Sirens charged home to score at Sandown in 42.04 last time and she should be in the mix again, this track probably doesn't suit her but she is racing too well to dismiss.

Big Kat has a solid record here and she shouldn't be too far away again, she is a must for your exotics.

Top Four: 7 – 6 – 4 – 5

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Love Affair

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

Exacta: 4,6,7/4,5,6,7 ($9 for 100%)

Trifecta: 4,6,7/4,5,6,7/2,4,5,6,7,8 ($36 for 100%)

Good race to round out the quaddie as there are a number of chasers racing in great form. Secret Spell has won nine of 12 overall and she is unbeaten in her four runs here. Her winning time of 30.27 here last week was far from impressive but I think she will find the early lead again tonight and I would expect her to get down to around the 30 flat mark or a tad quicker.

Hercules Bale turned in a mammoth effort when scoring here last week in 30.09 and he appears to be getting better with every run. He is going to need some luck early but if he gets it he will be running over the top of them late.

One Dee broke the 30 second barrier here last week and she should put some pressure on Secret Spell early, she would normally be my top pick but I dont think she has the speed to cross Secret Spell in the first 50m.

Crusade Marjen is probably the only other winning hope, he can be hard to follow but he has enormous talent and he only needs luck in the first 50m to feature.

Top Four: 2 – 6 – 1 – 4

Suggested Bets:

Trifecta: 2/1,4,6/Field ($18 for 100%)

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

Quinella: 2 to rove with 1,4,6 ($3 for 100%)

Waymore Blues has been racing in great form of late having scored three consecutive wins at this track. The most recent victory came over this journey and on that occasion he showed great early speed. If he can pounce on the early lead again he should prove too hard to reel in.

Tekki Minx will also settle on the speed and she has been racing very consistently with seven straight placings. If she can settle in the top two three early she should finish in the money.

Dyna Orion could be the value, he is going to settle back in the field but he does have a big finish and if he can find the rail early he should be able to make a move a little earlier than normal.

Top Four: 4 – 7 – 3 – 1

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Waymore Blues

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

Exacta: 4,7/1,3,4,7 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 4/1,3,7/Field ($18 for 100%)

Whodat Knockin' is dropping considerably in class and with an ounce of luck early he should make light work of this lineup. He is showing a lot more early speed than normal at present and he should be able to settle in the top two or three early. He appears to have a fair bit on this lot so he looks a really good bet tonight.

Crackerjack Rose should get a nice cart across from Radinka Bale early and she should assume control mid race. She has a top record here and if the favourite happens to find bother she may just steal the prize.

Athos is well drawn out wide and he could be the value, he has been racing well without winning of late and if they shuffle up underneath him, he may swoop into the lead at the first bend.

Top Four: 2 – 5 – 8 – 4

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Whodat Knockin'

Exacta: 2,5/2,4,5,8 ($6 for 100%)

Quinella: 2 to rove with 4,5,8 ($3 for 100%)

Trifecta: 2/4,5,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

Dyna Fancy is normally a very reliable beginner and she looked impressive when scoring at Sandown recently in 29.61. There is no speed in the red so if she can step on terms she should be able to drive to the early lead and there doesn't appear to be anything in this field that will reel her in.

Julie Bale is the run on type in the event, she normally races over the longer journeys but her effort here last week when finishing just outside the placings was eye catching.

Punk Pirate is a gun provincial sprinter and he should be suited to the wide draw, the only concern with him is that he can be a little hit or miss at box rise.

Black Illusion tends to struggle here but he has talent and he can run an improved race.

Top Four: 2 – 4 – 8 – 5

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Dyna Fancy

Quinella: 2 to rove with 4,5,8 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 2,4,8/2,4,5,8 ($9 for 100%)

Zeppelin Bale scored a brilliant and strong 23.99 Bendigo win three runs back and if he can hold them out at the first bend he should prove hard to reel in. He has won here previously in 30.29 but I know he is capable of going much faster with a clear run.

Dyna Norfolk is hit or miss early but when he hits he is capable of running some great sectionals. Two starts back he pinged the lids and posted a classy 29.54 Sandown Park win, if he goes around at silly odds he is worth an each way ticket.

Se's High Above is the run on type in the event, I dont think she is a winning chance but she should be able to run home into a place.

Top Four: 2 – 4 – 1 – 3

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Zeppelin Bale

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

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