HORSES Friday Canterbury Race 2 – Drinkwise Maiden Handicap – 1250m#1 Carartie – $3.10 She showed gate speed last start to lead and a pretty handy one went past her. She gets the services of J Mac, which can offset the tricky gate. With the best in the business jumping on, she’s the one to … Continued

HORSES Doomben Race 6 – LISTED Brisbane Quality – 1640m#4 Countofmontecristo – $26/$6 & #9 Matowi – $21/$5 Really open race and likely soft track makes this a difficult race to access.

HORSES Moonee Valley Race 1 – Front Runner Membership (Bm64) – 1200m#6 Luna Cat – $9.50/$2.60 She was good in winning her maiden last start and if you forgive here first up run this prep, her 3 career runs have all been very good.

HORSES Cranbourne Race 4 – Shooting Star (C3) – 1500m#3 Real Sensation – $3.60 He’s a deserving favourite in this. Third up now & rock hard fit on the 7 day back up. First up, he had little luck and savaged the line late. Second up and last start, he got well back at Flemington … Continued

CUP DAY BETS Flemington Race 2 – The Macca’s Run Bm96 – 2800m#2 Long Arm – $21 & #9 Royal Crown – $26 Incredibly open race with many winning chances. Long Arm has been below his best this prep so far but his best is good enough to win this (has previously beaten Team Captain … Continued

HORSES Randwick Race 6 – G2 Premiere Stakes – 1200m#1 Masked Crusader – $2.50 I’m willing to forgive the last start where it was nearly impossible to run on and make ground out wide. He’s always slow to begin but with a good speed up front and T Berry, who knows him well, back in … Continued
