THOROUGHBREDS

Geelong: Race 2; #3 Morryl Moral Down Arrow

Missed the start on debut last start and was very plain through the line, would need to improve considerably between runs to be winning out in trip

Gosford: Race 3; #1 Counter Down Arrow

I have Counter mapping poorly against it's key rivals, the Waller stable are often happy to be conservative from wide gates, especially earlier in prep. If he's worse than midfield I think he'll find it difficult to get past the top 2 selections.

GREYHOUNDS

Albion Park: Race 4; #8 Special Cyndie Down Arrow

Special Cyndie has been racing in terrific form since returning from a six week spell winning two races; however, I expect her to be beaten on Thursday. She steps up to the 520m where she has gone under in her past four starts and is only a week between runs. She will need to lead this race to be any hope with the lack of race fitness on her side and I just can't see her crossing from the eight with Isurava & Big Town Hero drawn inside who are both lid pingers. Expect her to be at least three wide heading into this first turn and forced to work very hard. Vulnerable favourite.

HARNESS

Kilmore: Race 9; #3 Metro Memory Down Arrow

Metro Memory is an improving type but this is a class rise tonight & no Jimmy Herbs on board either.
