THOROUGHBREDS

Cranbourne: Race 7; #10 Choquant Down Arrow

The market has always had a good opinion of Choquant and that's keeping him firm in the market in this race. He paraded terribly first-up last preparation off a very similar length spell and ran accordingly. It took him until third-up at this track and distance to break his maiden against a Moody horse who is still plugging around in the maidens.

GREYHOUNDS

Bendigo: Race 10; #1 Journey Beyond Down Arrow

Love these Cup Night Match Races and this looks to be another great match up from a betting perspective. Journey Beyond is a fast dog but I believe he is better suited to a full field. He is a very reliable beginner who is best suited to pinching a mid race break on his rivals and holding on to win. Here, only against one opponent he will be left vulnerable much earlier. Shima Current is a dog on the up, is suited to the from and is suited to the outside draw (Box 3 in this instance).

HARNESS

Melton: Race 2; #11 Tough Tilly Down Arrow

Tough Tilly is a ripper mare but the draw is just too tough tonight. Tilly has drawn second row 10 times for just the 1 win, compared to 16 wins from 28 starts off the front. In a super tough field, Tilly has too much against her.
