The weather is fine with only a 10% chance of rain and a forecast of 31 degrees.
Racing is on a Good 4 and there are plenty of winners to be found.
Selections
Race 1 - Small field of 2YOs. Two clear-cut chances, but leaning towards Himalaism over Uncorked purely from an odds point of view. Tread carefully.
Selections: 7-2-9-8
Race 2 - BM72 over 1400m with some key hopes. Siding with Sacrimony to turn the tables on Starman. There's little in it though.
Selections: 8-5-1-3
Race 3 - This looks a very tricky Highway with a massive field. Don't mind Optimo at backable odds, but the wide draw makes it tough. Shelbysixtysix, King's Trust, I've Bean Tryin' and Furphy all in the mix. Pass.
Selections: 1-2-4-6
Race 4 - The Midway over 1200m. QUEEN BELLISSIMO looks perfectly placed and decently weighted. Keen.
Selections: 4-11-2-1
Race 5 - BM88 over 2000m. Was impressed by French import HUETOR last time and happy to be with again. Lord Ardmore and Born A King the obvious dangers.
Selections: 3-4-8-7
Race 6 - 1400m BM78 for the fillies and mares. Nicci's Fling almost nabbed Shihonka last time out. Can win. Scared of Saigon, however. Exotic Ruby looks the value. Taking it easy here.
Selections: 1-3-2-5
Race 7 - One of the best of the day comes up here. FRANCESCO GUARDI narrowly went down to Waihaha Falls. Poised to bounce back at short odds.
Selections: 8-3-5-10
Race 8 - Second leg of the quaddie and should need a handful of runners. Have FROSTY ROCKS on top. Races well fresh and likes the track. Bigboyroy the obvious danger but hasn't won for almost a year. Bottega next best.
Selections: 1-9-5-10
Race 9 - Tricky affair this. Leaning towards MUCH MUCH BETTER who can dictate from a nice draw. Tycoonist, Gee Tee Tee, I Am Power all winning hopes. Can throw Liberty Sun in.
Selections: 6-8-1-3
Race 10: - 1000m sprint with a handful of chances. Siding with The Bopper but not overly confident. Leo, Easy Single and Remlaps Gem all thereabouts.
Selections: 3-12-5-6
