Soaring Eagle was far from disgraced when placed here last week and he appears well placed in this company. Last time out he was slow to begin but he finished on strongly when placed behind the classy Chica Destacada. With the wide running My Awesome Opal on his outside he should get plenty of room to muster in the early stages and he should get every chance to lead throughout.
Knot Telling Ya was a strong 30.08 winner here three runs back and he appears to be a major player again, he has had no luck soon after box rise in his two subsequent runs and tonight I would expect an improved performance.
Evoked has a great record here and she should be hitting the line solidly, she can be slow to begin at times but with a very slow beginner underneath she shouldn’t get shuffled too far back.
Watto Lotto is all class and he is still racing very well, he will be looking for the rail soon after box rise, so he is going to need a lot of luck but if he gets it he should be there at the end.
Top Four: 4 – 3 – 2 – 6

Zipping Tarn has been racing in consistent form of late and her effort two runs back behind Lady Ronray was highly impressive. She is normally a very safe beginner and with a clean getaway she should be able to show sufficient speed to hold them out. She has a slick 29.85 PB here and if she can reproduce that effort she will prove extremely hard to run down.
Magic Dream was placed behind the in form Bad Boy Sniper last time out and he should be in the mix again. He has a few slow beginners drawn on his outer so he should get room to muster pace and he should be able to settle in the top three early. Fancy Chance showed great improvement when placed here last week and he should be too far away again. The box draw doesn’t help but he does have good track sense and he can work his way into contention. Zipping Bruno is the run on dog in the event, he can run some serious time when given a clear run and he only needs an ounce of luck early to feature.
Top Four: 3 – 5 – 6 – 2

Karma Connie is a highly promising speedster and she really looked impressive when scoring a commanding 29.91 win here two runs back. On that occasion she had to work hard and push through in the early stages from the red box. From the pink tonight she should get more space in the early stages and therefore she should show a little more natural zip. She appears to have a fair bit on these so with any sort of luck she should be winning.
Jack Kade struggles to run out the journey but he should be able to lead them for a long way. He has been solidly placed in his past two tries here and if he finds the bunny early I would expect him to hold on for a place again.
Cawbourne Power has the good draw and he has been placed in 23 of his 37 tries here, he should get a nice sit on Jack Kade early and he is very strong in the run home.
Wayfarer rounds out the chances, she comes here with strong Victorian form and she has recently joined the strong White kennel.
Top Four: 8 – 2 – 1 – 3
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Karma Connie with Sportingbet

Chilli Sierra was a tad disappointing from the red draw here last week but she does appear to be better suited to a wider draw. With the speedy Dragon Emgrand drawn underneath she should be able to get a nice cart across in the early stages and when she finds the lure early in her races she can reel off some slick sectionals.
Coolabah Jet races well from wide draws and she destroyed her rivals when winning in 29.91 here last time out. Tonight she is going to need a bit of luck early because there is a fair bit of speed drawn around her but she is flying and it’s hard to look past her.
To A Tee is super consistent and if he can find the rail early he shouldn’t be too far away at the end. Three starts ago he posted a strong 30.01 win here and he has showed terrific track sense in his two subsequent runs.
Kurmond Goddess rounds out the winning hopes, she has the ability to ping the lids and there is no speed drawn underneath her, so with a clean getaway she should have no trouble finding the rail.
Top Four: 6 – 7 – 4 – 3
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Chilli Sierra with Sportingbet

Great race and I’m a hug fan of Anything Less, this star chaser has won nine of 14 here and he has reeled off some ridiculous sectionals in those wins. With the one and three expected to lead, he should be able to sit just off the speed and as they head into the back straight he should go into another gear. He is going to go on to win much better races than this and with an ounce of luck tonight he should win easily.
Exhibitionist has the good draw and she should lead them a merry dance, three starts back she won here in 29.70 and that type of effort would see her figure in the finish again tonight.
Ritza Hattie turned in a monster effort when placed behind Zipping Willow two runs back and she should be suited by the empty draw on her outside tonight.
Bessy Boo is poorly drawn but he loves racing here and he will be running on at the end, he probably can’t win but he could be a great dog to anchor for third and fourth in your exotics.
Top Four: 2 – 1 – 4 – 8
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Anything Less with Sportingbet

Martin Clegg bombed the start last week and he had to work overtime mid race and it really told when he weakened in the run home. From the red I am expecting him to begin a lot better and he should have sufficient speed to hold them out early. He has proven in his brief career that he can run fast times when on the bunny so if he holds them out tonight he will give a great sight.
Winsome Mission is a freakish talent and he was never headed in his explosive 29.68 heat win. He pinged the lids last time from the red, from the middle pin tonight I’m expecting him to miss away and he won’t get things his way in the early stages. He is still a winning chance but I think he will be under the odds.
Mr Emgrand sizzled early in his top 29.88 heat win and if he steps away like that again he should figure prominently, Grin To Win is a wide runner so he should get enough room to muster speed after box rise.
Cherokee Fiddle is probably the only other winning hope, he should be able to drive up behind Martin Clegg at the first bend and if he settles in the first half he should be there at the end.
Top Four: 1 – 2 – 7 – 4
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Martin Clegg with Sportingbet

Ella Has Class blew her rivals away last week when scoring in a blistering 29.68 and a repeat of that effort will see her win again with ease. She is normally a safe beginner and with the slow beginning Zipping Jackie drawn underneath she should get every chance to find the rail and lead soon after box rise.
Barcelona Star pinged the lids and never looked in doubt in her top 30.02 heat win, if she can begin like that again she should settle in the top two early and she can probably go a little quicker on the clock.
Oban has been placed in four of five here and she shouldn’t be too far away again, there is a bit of speed drawn around her but if she can get some room in the first 50m she should make an impact.
Gilgamesh returned from a long spell to win here in 29.90 and she must be respected again, she is drawn poorly tonight but she does have a fair bit of early zip so she should still be able to put herself into contention.
Top Four: 2 – 7 – 4 – 8
Suggested Bets:
Trifecta: 2/4,7,8/Field ($18 for 100%)
Exacta: 2,7/2,4,7,8 ($6 for 100%)

Chica Destacada is a superstar and she is drawn to make every post a winner. Last week she pinged the lids and destroyed her opposition when scoring in a blistering 29.77. If she can step cleanly again she should have no trouble holding them out and winning with ease again.
Zipping Willow is the obvious danger and she is actually not too badly drawn in the six box. She races better from wide draws and two starts back she set the track alight with a scorching 29.52 win here. I dont think she can cross the red early so therefore she can’t win, however she has panels on the rest so she should fill the quinella spot.
Rue De Kahn has a great record here and she normally steps cleanly, there isn’t a heap of speed drawn underneath her so she should be able match motors with Chica Destacada for most of the journey.
Peter’s Pick could be a value bet for the place, he should get a nice sit early behind the red and he is much better than his recent form suggests.
Top Four: 1 – 6 – 5 – 2

Frost Yourself is an exciting prospect and she looked impressive when scoring at The Gardens two runs back in 29.73. She should be able to follow Santorini Blue through at the first turn and she should then assume control as they round for home. She appears to have plenty on these and she really looks to be the best of the night.
Rum Punch has the speed to cross and lead and he is a much better chaser when on the bunny, four runs back he caught the eye with a speedy 22.57 Richmond win and that type of effort would see him be competitive here.
Santorini Blue has explosive early speed and he should be in the mix for a long way, my only concern with him is that he has hit a wall in the closing stages in his two tries here of late.
Stunning Ashberg is the run on type in the event and she must be included in your exotics, she is likely to get too far back early to win but she could be a great anchor for third and fourth in your exotics.
Top Four: 2 – 6 – 1 – 3
Suggested Bets:

Winsome Jacko is a class act and he should make up for his luckless effort here last week. Last time out he bombed the start and he was never out of trouble, tonight he has a slow beginner on his outside so if he can step on terms he should be able to muster pace quickly and blow them away soon after the start. I hope he gets a trouble free run because it will be interesting to see what he puts on the clock.
Subway To Venus has the good draw and she should be in a prominent position throughout, she isn’t overly strong but she appeared to hit the line well when winning at Richmond last time in 30.88.
Smooth Rebel should be suited by the empty draw on his outside and he should run a cheeky race.
Miss Dover is the interesting runner, she is blessed with a lot of talent but she has been injury plagued of late.
