OVERVIEW: SARAHLEONIE BOW (10) pushed forward to race without cover and finished third when resuming since December then tried to sustain a long run when a game second behind Benji Hall at Melton last week. She has come back to racing in peak form and should prove hard to beat against this line up. PRINCESS FAITH (4) ran third behind Tip Top Grandpa in a stronger race at Cranbourne last outing after a fast finishing fourth at Bendigo. She is drawn to receive a good run just off the speed and she is working up to a win. YANKEE TWISTER (8) moved away from the markers shortly after the start from a similar draw but couldn’t work into the race when seventh at Bendigo last outing. He hit the line nicely in his two starts prior and he should be finishing strongly again here. ROCKFORD PEACH (2) was resuming since November when fourth at Shepparton where she gained a nice run in transit. She is ideally drawn and should be fitter so she is not without a chance. MAJESTIC SPEED (3) and MAORI ABOUT TIME (5) could both show up if they receive the right luck in running.

EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible early leader), 2,5

RATINGS: 10/ 4/ 8/ 2/ 3,5/ 11

SELECTIONS: SARAHLEONIE BOW (10), PRINCESS FAITH (4), YANKEE TWISTER (8), ROCKFORD PEACH (2)

OVERVIEW: CHRONICLES (5) was forced to work very hard and had excuses when ninth at Bendigo last outing. His form prior was very strong including a second in a slick mile rate of 1.54.2 behind Tre Cool so he is worth another chance. ITSOKBEINGBETTER (3) settled five back on the outside and was out four horses wide from the 500m when a narrow second at Melton last week. He has built up a very consistent record this season and looms as one of the leading chances again. HAVE NO CHOICE (7) has been racing in good form having been runner up in four of his five starts since resuming. He did appear to have every chance when he led from the pole position at Cranbourne last week but on the basis of consistency, he is worth thought again. HONEY CULLEN (1) was dragged back by a tiring runner and lost approximately 20m at the 600m mark so he had little luck last outing. He is drawn to receive every chance so he appears to be a value hope.

EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 1,5,7

RATINGS: 3,5/ 7/ 1/ 2

SELECTIONS: CHRONICLES (5), ITSOKBEINGBETTER (3), HAVE NO CHOICE (7), HONEY CULLEN (1)

OVERVIEW: It is a tough race to assess with four of the eight horses either resuming or making their debut. EVERYSECONDCOUNTS (3) raced against tougher opposition two starts back in April and she defeated The Best Dream at her victory last year. She didn’t really trial up to expectations at Shepparton last week but she does have the ability to be very competitive at this level. DOLLYS LAW (4) is a nicely bred debutante for trainer Anthony Crossland. She recorded slow time in a trial win at Maryborough last week but she did finish off very quickly in that performance so she obviously has ability. COUNTESS CHIRON (7) is a brilliant beginner from the mobile and is the likely leader despite the wide draw. Her form has slipped recently and she faded into fifth (46m) last week but this is an easier assignment. MAJESTIC JEWEL (6) was resuming since a win over the handy trotter Kyvalley Shaunie in March when a distant fourth behind Illawong Stardust at Melton last week. She should be fitter from that run and has the ability to figure in the finish. ALDEBARAN PHOEBE (2) has made a few errors in her three starts to date but she finished second in handy time at a recent Bendigo trial effort so she is a possible improver. DIAMOND REACTOR (5) is resuming since a seventh in the Home Grown Classic in December but cannot be left out of calculations.

EARLY SPEED: 7 (likely leader), 3,6

RATINGS: 3/ 4? 7/ 6/ 2,5

SELECTIONS: EVERYSECONDCOUNTS (3), DOLLYS LAW (4), COUNTESS CHIRON (7), MAJESTIC JEWEL (6)

OVERVIEW: SWEET APPEAL (1) is a smart filly that was performing nicely at the trials prior to a fast finishing third behind Valkyrie at her debut. She is drawn to go close. HEAVENLY BELLE (4) is a fast beginner from the mobile and chased gamely for second behind Island Fire Dance in a slick mile rate of 1.56.0 at Kilmore last week. She strikes a suitable assignment and should give a forward showing. ALIENS EXIST (3) recorded slow time but she looked very sharp when she scored in a Kilmore trial victory over Niki Nah Nah last week. She was never extended at any stage in that trial success and she has won several trials recently so she must be respected. WENDYS WATCHING (5) trailed the leader and sprinted home too well when she scored at a Maryborough trial victory over the trotter Dealers Knock last week. She is worth thought along with FESTIVE AZZ (6), which was placed in two trial efforts prior to striking trouble on debut.

EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 1,3

RATINGS: 1/ 3? 4/ 5? 6/ 2/ 7?

SELECTIONS: SWEET APPEAL (1), HEAVENLY BELLE (4), ALIENS EXIST (3), WENDYS WATCHING (5)

OVERVIEW: DIDN’T I (4) was able to lead throughout and scored comfortably at Bendigo last outing. This is a steep rise in class but she is drawn to lead again so she should give another bold showing. BLISSFULL MIND (9) follows through behind a fast beginner and should gain a trail just off the speed. He led throughout at Cranbourne on June 14 then led and was run down by two in-form mares in Heavens Showgirl and All Major at his latest attempt. TERRORLEEN (10) was heavily supported on the fixed odds markets and sprinted quickly to land the prize in a career best mile rate of 1.54.1 at Bendigo last outing. He is not as well drawn here but he should be finishing strongly again. NIKITA ADELE (2) is a place chance from her possible position of being behind the leader DIDN’T I (4) and the fast finisher TRE COOL (8) is worth a ticket each way.

EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 2,5,6

RATINGS: 4/ 9,10/ 2/ 4,8/ 6,7/ 5,11/

SELECTIONS: DIDN’T I (4), BLISSFULL MIND (9), TERRORLEEN (10), NIKITA ADELE (2)

OVERVIEW: WHIZZBANG DAN (5) has been racing in good form and is drawn to give a forward showing. He did a big job to defeat Kyvalley Chief at Kilmore on June 06 and he tried hard but found the smart trotter Teetreetommy to be too quick at his latest second. OUR QUICK CASH (11) possesses a strong finishing burst and was runner up behind Aldebaran Crescent at Cranbourne last outing. He won at Cranbourne on May 31 and will take holding out if he got the right run in transit. FLAMING FIVES (3) has won two of her past five starts and led throughout to defeat Forever Kronos last outing. She is a good chance of finding the lead again so she is worth an investment despite rising in grade. TIP TOP GRANDPA (1) was given the perfect trip and responded with a big victory over Gatesys Gift at Cranbourne last week. He is also rising in class but he is drawn to receive every chance again. ANGELS BREATH (4), HATEITWHENYOURRITE (6), TAM OSHANTER (7) and ENDSIN A PARTY (13) are all capable of showing up in this very open race for the trotters.

EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,4,5

RATINGS: 5/ 3,11/ 1,4,6/ 7,13

SELECTIONS: WHIZZBANG DAN (5), OUR QUICK CASH (11), FLAMING FIVES (3), TIP TOP GRANDPA (1)

OVERVIEW: ESTERNA (2) ran a terrific race for second behind Float On By at Shepparton last week where she sustained a long run in fast final sectionals. She has been placed in 10 of her 16 starts and is a strong chance of breaking through for her maiden success under these conditions. MADAM REACTOR (5) eased at the start, gained a nice trail and battled on reasonably well for third behind Orbie at Bendigo last outing. She is racing very consistently and she should be working home nicely. POLLY PEACHUM (3) is yet to be placed in four starts over the middle distance but she possesses brilliant early speed and looms as the likely leader. FURIOSA (1) is resuming since December but has won two trials at Stawell recently so she is a possible improver. LA LA BRON (6) disappointed when resuming from a break but she is capable of a better performance.

EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,6

RATINGS: 2/ 5/ 1,3/ 6,7

SELECTIONS: ESTERNA (2), MADAM REACTOR (5), POLLY PEACHUM (3), FURIOSA (1)

OVERVIEW: LONGASULOVEME (3) was performing quite nicely at the trials prior to a debut eighth at Bendigo last week where she met a much stronger field and settled down in a rearward position. She should run an improved race under these conditions. KIWI KALAHARI (5) was driven aggressively and copped some pressure when in the front running role at his latest fourth at Kilmore. He was placed at Bendigo three starts ago and has shown enough ability to be competitive against this line up. GOOD COP (4) was beaten narrowly by Sportifico at Kilmore on June 25 and has the speed to figure in the finish. SASSCILIAN (7) is the only horse in this event that has won a race previously so he cannot be left out of calculations. The fast beginner SHADY HANOVER (1) and CLEVER COWBOY (2) should both receive a good run in transit from their good draw.

EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 4,5

RATINGS: 3/ 4,5/ 7/ 1,2/ 6

SELECTIONS: LONGASULOVEME (3), KIWI KALAHARI (5), GOOD COP (4), SASSCILIAN (7)

OVERVIEW: DUTY BOUND (6) is first-up in Australis for Grant Campbell. He led for a long way on debut and has been around the mark since so in a suitable race, he can land almost anywhere in transit and still be too good here. BEEKEACEE (2) may be able to get to the pegs first here and that will lead to an improvement performance, so she rates an anchor option for second in trifectas. MAJOR MAD (1) comes into play for second if he doesn’t get buried early while UNDERPLAY (3) is the other to include for first fours.

EARLY SPEED:  2,6?

RATINGS: 6/ 2/ 1/ 3/ 5/ 7.

SELECTIONS: DUTY BOUND (6), BEEKEACEE (2), MAJOR MAD (1), UNDERPLAY (3).

OVERVIEW: RADIANT ROSE (1) seemed to drop the bit and go awkwardly at a crucial stage last time but she was OK through the line and she didn’t have much go her way on debut so if she can find some gate speed here, she’s capable of making some pretty sharp improvement with further race experience. NINE DIAMONDS (6) faced the breeze last time but her run under the circumstances was sound so she’s going well enough to be a factor here. JILLIBY SCOOBY DO (5) doesn’t seem to have much early speed but he remains in the mix for Early Quaddie punters with the other watch runner TEDKANE (3) particularly if there’s any money for him.

EARLY SPEED:  1 (Potential leader) + 2? 3? 6

RATINGS: 1/ 6/ 5/ 3/ 4/ 2/ 7.

SELECTIONS: RADIANT ROSE (1), NINE DIAMONDS (6), JILLIBY SCOOBY DO (5), TEDKANE (3).

OVERVIEW: PRINCESS ALEXANDRA (5) ran home well along the inside last time and she wasn’t beaten too far in a similar race three starts back and went even closer five starts back so in a race where not much would surprise, she gets the nod. JEWELL OF SAFARI (7) battled away last time and he did hit the line well prior so this looks a suitable race if he gets the right run. ALDEBARAN JAZZI (3) can bob up in these sort of races but if you’re playing exotics then also consider SHAGARI (4) and LIGHTNING BLUECHIP (2).

EARLY SPEED:  2 (Potential leader) + 1,3

RATINGS: 5/ 7/ 3/ 4/ 2/ 1/ 9/ 6/ 8.

SELECTIONS: PRINCESS ALEXANDRA (5), JEWELL OF SAFARI (7), ALDEBARAN JAZZI (3), SHAGARI (4).

OVERVIEW: THE BULL PEN (6) was pretty stiff to miss in a photo last time but he was sound there and in the small field tonight he is the class runner so he’s capable of overcoming the draw here. DEADLY ASSASSIN (5) will no doubt be better for the first-up run and he does have to be respected on his better form so throw him into Quaddies somewhere. ROCKING TESS (2) would be dangerous if she ripped across to lead early however MARJORIE JEAN (1) will get a good trip in transit and also goes into trifectas.

EARLY SPEED:  1 (Potential leader) + 2,5? 6?

RATINGS: 6/ 5/ 2/ 1/ 3/ 4.

SELECTIONS: THE BULL PEN (6), DEADLY ASSASSIN (5), ROCKING TESS (2), MARJORIE JEAN (1).

OVERVIEW: CORPORAL BILL (8) put his head down and did as good job to hold on to third in an unsuitable race last time. The draw may be a blessing or a curse but he’s trending in the right direction and gets the nod here. SHADY DANCER (6) wasn’t disgraced in a strong race last time and she was close up behind Radical Major prior so that form should hold up here and she’s a must for Quaddies. RAZS VEYRON (5) is always around the mark but he may need one or two things to fall his way while CANDY MADY (1) and MISS ATLANTA (3) both ran well at their previous start at big odds and wouldn’t totally shock. IM PAIGE (4) is the next best.

EARLY SPEED: 4 (Potential leader) + 1,5,6?

RATINGS: 8/ 6/ 5/ 1/ 3/ 4/ 6/ 9/ 2.

SELECTIONS: CORPORAL BILL (8), SHADY DANCER (6), RAZS VEYRON (5), CANDY MADY (1).

OVERVIEW: ICICLE (10) was a beaten horse when galloping last time but even off the 30-metre handicap he looks to have found a far more winnable assignment tonight and if he finds anything like the form of his three or four prior, he’ll have a class edge on most of these. JUST OSCAR (1) did well to pick a few off on the way home after galloping early last time so his run was pretty big in defeat. From the front if he steps cleanly he becomes the likely threat to the top pick. DREAM OVER (4) is honest and can run well but if you’re playing trifectas then also include the likes of EOGHAN OMAILLE (6), JADEL GIL (7) and BACARDI CARTA (9).

EARLY SPEED:  1,2,5

RATINGS: 10/ 1/ 4/ 6/ 7/ 9/ 8/ 5/ 2/ 3.

SELECTIONS: ICICLE (10), JUST OSCAR (1), DREAM OVER (4), EOGHAN OMAILLE (6).

OVERVIEW: KEAYANG SHADY (11) did things wrong early last time but she made up good ground and did a job to finish as close as she did. The first-up run was also quite good under the circumstances and even around a track that suits those up front, she might just have a bit too much for her rivals here. OLD FARM WAY (8) is the unknown, she comes down from New South Wales after a total forgive but from the draw she’s likely reliant on the polemarker getting her to the sprint lane with enough momentum. That said, she’s one of few genuine winning hopes. MARKLEIGH CAZ (5) and WANTED LADY (1) are both racing well and the next best for Quaddies but also play FOURTH IN LINE (9) and VANITY BAY (10) if you’re having a saver.

EARLY SPEED:  1 (Likely leader) + 2,3

RATINGS: 11/ 8/ 5/ 1/ 9/ 10/ 2/ 3/ 6/ 7.

SELECTIONS: KEAYANG SHADY (11), OLD FARM WAY (8), MARKLEIGH CAZ (5), WANTED LADY (1).
