ASCOT: RACE 4 @ 5:26 PM (AEDT)

SEEABLE (5) is unbeaten this campaign and building an impressive win record. Chasing his third straight win today after racing on the speed with the 61.5kg when a courageous winner over 1400m at this track on January 14. Gets all the favours again from the draw and expected to take plenty of holding out. RIVER RUBICON (1) has finished in the minor money at all four runs back and stretches out to the 1400m here after running second over 1300m at Mt Barker on January 22. Look for him late from the gate. SOCKOFF (2) is a classy mare up in trip today after running fourth over 1200m at this track on January 14. Claim helps and should be in the finish. BIG BADA BOOM (4) had to do plenty of work from the draw when sat on the speed with the 60kg when a disappointing 10th over 1600m here on January 21. Pike takes the ride and gets some nice weight relief. Looks a serious player. SELECTION: Seeable to win.

GOULBURN: RACE 1 @ 1:50 PM

KIMBERLEY SECRETS (2) was scratched from a winnable race at Canberra on Friday and rates to take home the larger purse. Resumed in the capital in a CL1 heavily bet and won easily from the front. Progressive and doubt the extra weight will stop the Olive-trained galloper. TABLET (5) runs along and shows promise. The local resumes off the deserved Maiden win and has trialled well with Penza aboard. He sticks and will use the low barrier. Is likely improved and creates plenty of interest. SPIRITUAL GAL (3) led and won the 58 comfortably at Queanbeyan. She's in the mix. LONDON GAL (1) will be race fit fourth up and gets every chance from the inside stall. SELECTION: Backing Kimberley Secrets to win.

 

SUNSHINE COAST: RACE 2 @ 1:59 PM (AEDT)

MISHANI MISSILE (2) disappointed this grade at Ipswich and go on the win and placing here prior. Draws low today and Orman is reunited. He should go close. SO YOU KNEW (3) peaks for the premier barn and is knocking on the door. Raced favourite in stronger the latest and expect the shorter trip to suit better. The low gate advantages. WILLNOTQUIT (4) continues to race well without winning. Thompson sticks and she gets another chance. ROCKED (1) won the Maiden easily at Ipswich and has upside. Has the rail and is in the mix. SELECTION: Backing Mishani Missile.

 

SALE: RACE 6 @ 3:45 PM

DIDDLEY SQUAT (2) impressed on debut from the front when running out an easy winner in fast time. This trip should suit even better and from the inside gate he'll take plenty of catching again with natural improvement. AMPERE (5) resumes from a long break but he showed plenty of ability last time in when second on debut before winning as favourite at his next run before spelling. The stable is in form and he warrants plenty of respect. ASEVENTY SEVEN (4) will find this easier than last start when he wasn't disgraced behind the promising Shuffle Dancer in town. He was an easy Maiden winner the start prior and can bounce back here. AND SHE WAS (10) gets to the right race now having been thereabouts at her past three in handy races. Don't take lightly. MARINE PARADE (3) was a nice Maiden winner two runs ago before a sound effort last start in a good race. Keep safe. SELECTION: Diddley Squat can win again.

 

ARARAT: RACE 7 @ 5:13 PM

RICHMOND POET (5) was a beaten favourite at Kilmore last start but was only just over a length from the winner. The mile today will suit him and after the three kilo claim he is well placed to repay his supporters. Follow your money. EL SANTO (1) finished third at his first run back in this class last start. He has enough early speed to cross over from his wide draw and should be thereabouts again. Each-way. PARIS SHIRAZ (9) is still at the improving stage of her campaign and she will be peaking third up. The extra furlong should be to her liking and she won't be far away. Include. SOCIALITE MISS (13) is knocking on the door and both of her career wins have come on this track. Each-way value. SELECTION: Richmond Poet to win.
