ASCOT: RACE 2 @ 4:25 PM (AEDT)

FEELS PLAYFUL (3) gave nothing else a chance as she led all the way to an easy win here two weeks ago. Not a lot harder and looks to get some control on pace. Take beating. IMPERIALIZE (6) has run third at both starts so far and should handle the extra trip in a race lacking pressure. Go well. SALOON BAR (2) is getting close to a win after two runs back and just needs some luck from a tricky gate to feature. BLEECKER STREET (4) and LAQUETTA'S GIFT (7) are genuine chances. SELECTIONS: Feels Playful to win. Trifecta 3-2,4,6,7/2,4,6,7.

INVERELL: RACE 2 @ 1:50 PM

SKYFORGER (1) looks awfully hard to beat going off his last start finish when lipped at Wangaratta. Has his first start under John Bourke after switching from the A & S Freedman team. Will be winning. LAGO'S DAUGHTER (2) looked close to breaking through before finding himself too far back last start. Still found the line strongly and is the immediate threat. CHARGE EXTRA (5) was unlucky not to get off the mark at the latest. Finds this tougher but is worth respecting. GLENCOE PEARL (7) has found the placings twice this prep. Ben Looker sticking a positive. Each-way chance again. SELECTIONS: Skyforger to win.

 

MORNINGTON: RACE 3 @ 2:32 PM

CANNOLI (7) resumed with a good second last start behind the impressive Artimus Prime who looks capable of winning more races. She'll take good benefit from that run and from an inside draw looks a strong winning chance stepping up to this trip. MIDIVANI (2) has a placing in town to her credit and is capable of a forward showing fresh. Rageese debutant TJAARDA (14) won a trial in NZ before transferring to Team Freedman. Expect a bold showing. THUNDER FLASH (5) is close to a win having placed in three of four starts this time in. SELECTIONS: Cannoli looks hard to beat fitter second up.

 

SUNSHINE COAST: RACE 3 @ 3:28 PM (AEDT)

SARSEN (7) was having his first run for the Adam Campton stable last start when he made good ground to run into third over 1200m at Doomben at the first outing since a spell. Fitter so can go a couple better. MON CADEAU (4) resumed last start with a sound third over 1200m at Toowoomba. Bold showing expected. Neasham's PROPHETS DE'VINE (16) has trialled well so expect a strong debut. SUPER SHARES (8) is a six-start maiden who has been close to the placegetters in both appearances since a spell. Peaking and worth consideration. SELECTIONS: Sarsen to win off a pleasing return.

 

BURRUMBEET: RACE 8 @ 4:36 PM

RESERVE STREET (1) has had two runs back this time in against tougher opposition and looks well placed third up to find his best form again. On top. WHO'S YOUR PAPY (2) has been racing in good form and stuck to his guns in a handy field at Sandown-Lakeside last start. He drops in weight from that effort and is the main danger to his stablemate and top selection. ASHY BOY (4) looked above himself when finishing well back at Moonee Valley last time out and will be much tighter for this assignment. He is up to any in this and is a major player. SELECTIONS: Reserve Street to win.

 

CANTERBURY: RACE 6 @ 6:30 PM

I AM ME (3) has a big reputation and has confirmed her ability with three wins on the bounce. She is ready to be tested at Listed level and at the weights she is the one to beat again. SPACEBOY (9) traveled to Flemington and was game in defeat, finishing fourth, after a good win on this track at his prior start. He drops sharply in weight and from his handy draw he is likely to set them up in front again. Each-way. DRAGONSTONE (5) went to the line hard held last start and was not tested. He has not missed a cheque in two starts on this track and he is due a change of racing luck. Can win. VANGELIC (2) has had the three trials to help prepare for her fresh up assignment and has looked back to her best. Nash Rawiller has won his only start on her and a big effort can be expected. SELECTIONS: I Am Me to win.
