Looks an interesting card. Rail back to True and with no rain, the track is rated a good2. Expect on pacers to go well early.

Race 1: These staying races are always tough. If Offer Me Jewels repeats last run, will win. Lovre ran really well when resuming. Dajraan is honest and will race on the speed and Verissimo is going okay. Collecting showed a glimse of form last start.

Tips 4 -2 -1 -3 -5

Race 2: Looks an interesting race. Speed will be critical. Really liked the way Better Than Darcey hit the line last start.

Race 5: This is a hard race. Speed is critical. It could be the day they decide to go to the front with Eagle Rock. If they do, it is a chance. Agribiz will also go forward sbut not sure if will hand up. Catcorp, Kim Trader, Dante's Alert are all capable types and Haagen should improve. Cold Command is a chance.

Race 8: The good thing today is we get to finish off with two really hard races. Like A Vain is going better but concerned with weight. Kim Star was disappointing last start as was Danish Conq. Keshaar looks suited from the good draw and will be in it for a long way. Found and Kep is an interesting jockey change. Doesn't seem to get a lot of luck in its races and Thunderlara is going okay but this is a lot tougher grade than has been meeting. Be interesting to see if Airforce is taken to the fornt and then run them along.

4 FOUND AND KEPT $4.60
12 THUNDELARRA $7.40
1 LIKE A VAIN $7.70
3 CHANGING LANES $37.90

Race 9: This is really tough. Battle emblem is not my horse but excellent record at trip and is in career best form. Brave Knight is in similar company for me. Supersenic has been flying. Been dropping out and then going early. Seems to be working. Coronate was a tad disappoinitng last week but expect improvement on better ground. Cohort was entitled to finsih closer and looked to have something to offer. Henry disapointed but might be able to get a decent run on the speed and go close. SWCruel is always a show and has drawn well. Go wide in quaddie.
