OVERVIEW: ILLAWONG MIMI (1) has had the 21 attempts to break through but should be hard to beat on her Sunraysia debut from the pegs draw. This looks a good chance for her to break through on debut for Luke Watson. Stablemate BRAEVIEW FELLA (8) led most of the way last week on his local debut and was only run down in the home straight. He looks the other main chance in this maiden along with CABALLO DIABLO (6) who had little luck last week and can’t be forgotten along with the consistent MISS REMBRANDT (4) but more so a place perspective with her as she is still a maiden from 28 tries.

EARLY SPEED: 1 (Leader), 2, 4? 6?

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

SELECTIONS: ILLAWONG MIMI (1), BRAEVIEW FELLA (8), CABALLO DIABLO (6), MISS REMBRANDT (4)

OVERVIEW: PATTYS ANGEL (7) is dropping in class for this race and whilst she has the nice trailing draw on the peg line that does mean she can’t use her gate speed. However, with a bit of luck when it matters, she should go very close against this class and against her own sex. MINIKA (5) has had the two local attempts and hasn’t been disgraced both times in fairly strong three-year-old races. Here she takes on her elders but can’t be ruled out. Very similar can be said for COCO BEACH (9) whilst SIEDRA CALEB (1) is the interesting runner on debut for Reece Moore with a recent trial second on Sunday.

EARLY SPEED: 1, 3, 4

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

SELECTIONS: PATTYS ANGEL (7), MINIKA (5), COCO BEACH (9), SIEDRA CALEB (1)

OVERVIEW: This would be the hardest race of the afternoon. SHADYS PURSUIT (1) had little luck first-up before dropping right out at his most recent run two weeks ago against stronger. He has since worked home well at the trials for a second, so he gets the nod from the draw. ALWAYS A CELEBRITY (9) was fifth in that trial and is better than what he showed first-up and this level of race suits. BEZZABOMA (10) is in-form and keeps racing well whilst OLLIE AND BROCK (11) is naturally a chance but knocked up last week. The other chances are HAVEACHEW (8), WARATAH BEACH (5), TIMMY LIMOUSINE (6) and also WOODY NIGHTSHADE (7).

EARLY SPEED: 1, 2, 3? 5?

RATINGS: 1 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 8 / 5 / 7 / 6 / 3 / 2 / 4

SELECTIONS: SHADYS PURSUIT (1), ALWAYS A CELEBRITY (9), BEZZABOMA (10), OLLIE AND BROCK (11)

OVERVIEW: MAJOR MAL (3) has a bit to learn so it is a risk making him the best and a Quaddie anchor but after doing things wrong on debut for Boris Devcic he did it all right at the trials in impressive time. If he can go as good as what he did there, he will be hard to catch. MIRADERO (5) has done little wrong in three local starts but she might not be able to find the pegs this time. TOPZAVSKI (9) rates next with CALL ME HENRY (8) who beat most of these last week after having the run of the race, but this time is on the second line.

EARLY SPEED: 1, 3 (Leader), 4, 5

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

SELECTIONS: MAJOR MAL (3), MIRADERO (5), TOPZAVSKI (9), CALL ME HENRY (8)

OVERVIEW: VALIANT GEM (10) has a second line draw over the sprint trip but continues to race consistently. She has had two easy wins in her last six starts and in this she drops in class from her last two starts and worked home well last start after never being a chance in the run. TALE OF THE DRAGON (4) has the draw to close and has been close-up recently. TROOPER MOSSMAN (6) is outside the front row but is back down to his preferred sprint trip and has been racing well so he has to be a big chance. HARD ROCK SHANNON (11) is the other main chance in this Quaddie opener.

EARLY SPEED: 2, 4, 6

RATINGS: 10 / 4 / 6 / 11 / 9 / 2 / 5 / 3 / 8 / 1

SELECTIONS: VALIANT GEM (10), TALE OF THE DRAGON (4), TROOPER MOSSMAN (6), HARD ROCK SHANNON (11)

OVERVIEW: TUNZA TENACITY (7) has been ultra-impressive in two starts for Lachlan Prothero running good time and winning easily both times. Naturally, he is up in class again, but it isn’t much harder than the race he won last week but he does have that sticky inside second line draw. YES SHESASTAR (1) is drawn directly in front of TUNZA TENACITY (7). She won well two back before being best of the rest behind TUNZA TENACITY (7) last week. She is going well, and the start will be interesting in regard to their chances. RUBBERS DILEMMA (8), BELLA CULLEN (5), LORNE BEACH (11), KELLYS IDEAL (4) and GOVINNI (9) are all place chances.

EARLY SPEED: 1, 2, 3? 4? 5?

RATINGS: 7 / 1 / 8 / 5 / 11 / 4 / 9 / 3 / 2 / 10 / 6

SELECTIONS: TUNZA TENACITY (7), YES SHESASTAR (1), RUBBERS DILEMMA (8), BELLA CULLEN (5)

OVERVIEW: BERNIE WINKLE (9) just keeps on eating up these same horses’ week in week out and really what is there to say that he won’t do it again in this race? In saying that surely the winning streak will come to an end at some point, but you’d be pretty brave to tip against him as he looks to complete the picket fence/five timer. AUGUSTUS JACK (7) was third last week and continues to go well. SMYNANNA MICKEY (2) is first-up for a month so she adds some intrigue whilst CAUSENFRICTION (5) flew for second last week. MURRANJI TRACK (8) got going late last week but overall he was a tad disappointing.

EARLY SPEED: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5?

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

SELECTIONS: BERNIE WINKLE (9), AUGUSTUS JACK (7), SMYNANNA MICKEY (2), CAUSENFRICTION (5)

OVERVIEW: GOOD ONYA (8) is a sit-sprinter that relies on the race to be run at a decent speed whilst enjoying an economical run and then dive bomb at the leaders late as they tie up. His last two runs have really caught the eye and he has to be a strong each-way chance. BETTOR B NICE (10) beat him two weeks ago before a second last week when just getting out a tad too late. His two runs since that ordinary looking fall at Ouyen have been good. RENAISSANCE ART (11) rates highly obviously but again has that tough draw whilst CLASSIC ARC (7) and WITHOUT HESITATION (2) are the other main chances.

EARLY SPEED: 1, 2? 3, 4, 5

RATINGS: 8 / 10 / 11 / 7 / 2 / 1 / 6 / 5 / 4 / 3 / 9

SELECTIONS: GOOD ONYA (8), BETTOR B NICE (10), RENAISSANCE ART (11), CLASSIC ARC (7)

OVERVIEW: ARGY BARGY (10) led and roared away in an easy race last time. He’s not easy to line up here but he was good when parked out prior and he looks a progressive enough type so he gets the nod tonight. COBBER MAC (8) did the work before being left in front last time but he battled like a trojan to only go down narrowly at the finish and with any luck he’ll play a role in this race late. WELL WELL (3) was never in the race before breaking last time but deserves respect based on the prior run. MEGIDDO (5) is arguably the most interesting runner and has to go into Quaddies while A GOOD KNIGHT (9) and HYPERVIGILANT (7) are next best.

EARLY SPEED: 5 (Potential leader) + 3 + 7

RATINGS: 10/ 8/ 3/ 5/ 9/ 7/ 4/ 11/ 1/ 6.

SELECTIONS: ARGY BARGY (10), COBBER MAC (8), WELL WELL (3), MEGIDDO (5).

OVERVIEW: FLAMIN ALICE (6) made good ground from the one by one last time and she’s working towards a peak performance so in a race without heaps of exposed form which looks as strong as hers, it's hard to oppose here. PAYUP ORLEAVE (10) clearly has ability but he’s still got things to learn. That said, he can win here. CLEVER COWBOY (2) is somewhat surprisingly still a maiden but he looks well placed here while SIMPLY HEAVENLY (5) and the debutante BABYLON BAMBI (8) round out the key first four threats.

EARLY SPEED: 1,2

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

SELECTIONS: FLAMIN ALICE (6), PAYUP ORLEAVE (10), CLEVER COWBOY (2), SIMPLY HEAVENLY (5).

OVERVIEW: VIVA LA ROCK (5) sat parked in some pretty slow splits before winning narrowly as a short priced favourite last time out but there’s an argument to be made that the speed of the race brought some others into it and he did lift late under pressure so it’s worth backing him in to improve out of that. QUICK DAN (4) didn’t appear to have heaps of excuses when looking the winner at the top of the lane last time but he was beaten by a debutante and they gapped the rest of the runners so it should stand up as a form reference. LESTER (7) was good under the circumstances last time and is nearing his first win but the draw may hurt him a fraction here. OZZIE PLAYGIRL (1) also goes into trifectas.

EARLY SPEED:  4 (Potential leader) + 1

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

SELECTIONS: VIVA LA ROCK (5), QUICK DAN (4), LESTER (7), OZZIE PLAYGIRL (1)

OVERVIEW: REGAL ASSASSIN (5) looked like he was back in fine fettle when he hooked onto the bridle in a recent Bendigo trial but he had a big kick in the locker at the finish and he’s worth taking a punt on here as the x-factor. ANTIOPE (10) continues to race well and she’ll put herself in the race at some stage. CAPRIOSKA (11) and LITTLE MISS CHLO (1) are the other obvious knockout hopes for exotics however ALDEBARAN SUNDOWN (3) and STARLIGHT RED (2) also deserves consideration.

EARLY SPEED:  1 (Likely leader) + 2,3?

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

SELECTIONS: REGAL ASSASSIN (5), ANTIOPE (10), CAPRIOSKA (11), LITTLE MISS CHLO (1).

OVERVIEW: ORBIE (7) didn’t break the clock but it was hard not to be impressed with the way she finished off to notch her maiden win and in a race where nothing looks obvious. She’s a serious hope. KOSIMO (10) is similarly a last start winner and the visuals were also quite impressive so he’s a must for Quaddies. ALITTLEBITOFFTAP (5) might be starting to turn the corner and he clearly has talent. LOUISIANA JO (11) and ALTE (6) are hard to rule out as winning hopes but the former may need the pace on with the latter hoping for an easy lead.

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

RATINGS: 7/ 10/ 5/ 11/ 6/ 2/ 9/ 8/ 4/ 3.

SELECTIONS: ORBIE (7), KOSIMO (10), ALITTLEBITOFFTAP (5), LOUISIANA JO (11).

OVERVIEW: ALL THE MUSCLES (7) took a good step forward in his preparation with a dominant win second-up and while this is going to be a race which produces plenty of winners going forward, he looks the one to beat. STORM CLOUD (6) couldn’t have done much more in three wins since a break and he would not shock whatsoever. ROYAL CHARLOTTE (8) may requite luck at some stage but she’s not without claims while NEEDABACARDI (9), FATOUCHE (5), BARHOON (3) and COUNT BACARDI (11) are all in the conversation for first four punters.

EARLY SPEED:  6 (Potential leader) + 3,7

RATINGS: 7/ 6/ 8/ 9/ 5/ 3/ 11/ 10/ 2/ 4.

SELECTIONS: ALL THE MUSCLES (7), STORM CLOUD (6), ROYAL CHARLOTTE (8), NEEDABACRDI (9).

OVERVIEW: POSTAL EXPRESS (5) was big odds last time but you could argue he had his momentum halted when getting down to the sprint lane from three poles and I thought the run was more than sound under the circumstances. He’s honest and consistent and may just have found his right race here. EXCITER (6) will again have his admirers but it is hard to argue this is an easier task than last time so he will need to be better again. ADELAIDE BAY (11) galloped in a recent Bendigo trial so did enough under the circumstances but he’s sure to benefit from the experience of this run even if he doesn’t prevail. COOL ROCKING DADDY (8), GOLDEN SAND (10) and CRESCO THREEPEAT (9) are the next group if you’re searching for value.

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

RATINGS: 5/ 6/ 11/ 8/ 10/ 9/ 4/ 1/ 2/ 3.

SELECTIONS: POSTAL EXPRESS (5), EXCITER (6), ADELAIDE BAY (11), COOL ROCKING DADDY (8).

OVERVIEW: YOUNG ROOSTER (11) comes through the TAB regional championship and his run in the consolation was as good as you could have hoped for based on the way the race played out. This is an entirely different task but he looks the hardest to beat in an intriguing race. SHADOW CHEVRON (9) all but won last time and he’s a serious talent when he puts it all together so if you’re a Quaddie punter, he goes in somewhere for sure and certain. TRENDY BROMAC (3) ran to the line first-up and she will no doubt take benefit out of it. ALL WHITEY THEN (10), NOTA REPLICA (6) and MY MAGIC MERLIN (8) all have some knockout claims if everything fell their way in transit.

EARLY SPEED: 1,2

RATINGS: 11/ 9/ 3/ 10/ 6/ 8/ 2/ 7/ 4/ 1.

SELECTIONS: YOUNG ROOSTER (11), SHADOW CHEVRON (9), TRENDY BROMAC (3), ALL WHITEY THEN (10).
