Knocker is stepping up in distance but he couldn't have been more impressive when scoring here over 395m recently in a blistering 22.50. He is armed with devastating turn of speed and from the rails draw he should be able to find the early lead and if he can handle the extra distance he should prove too good for these.
Tiny Turbo turned in a strong performance when placed here on Monday behind the promising Cervelo and on that occasion he stormed home from well back in the field, he is capable of showing a lot more early speed and if he can settle in the top three early he should make his presence felt.
Kas Kahn rounds out the chances, she scored a slick 30.39 Lismore win last time and she appears to be improving with every start.
Top Four: 2 – 4 – 3 – 5
Suggested Bets:

Tobias Rumble appears to be a highly promising speedster and he showed a wonderful turn of foot soon after box rise when scoring here last time in 30.20. That was only his second run over this journey so if he can land on the bunny again I would expect him to hit the line a bit better and maybe go under the 30.10 mark. The red draw should suit and he looks a good bet at around even money.
Farmor Eye Am didn't have a lot of luck in her QLD debut and she is a lot better than that. She has the speed to settle in the top three early and this isn't an overly strong race so she should still be there at the end.
Flaunt It turned in a solid effort when resuming from a spell last time and she should be hitting the line strongly again, the wide draw is a little worry but if she can avoid bother at the first bend she should run a big race.
Top Four: 1 – 3 – 8 – 4
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Tobias Rumble with Sportingbet

Hougenie has a tremendous record here and she should be suited by the smaller field. Two starts back she beat a top lineup when recording a slick 34.94 win here and a similar effort tonight would see her win with absolute ease. She is going to be short so it may be worthwhile just anchoring her upfront in your exotics.
Mister To Us is a promising staying type and he was far from disgraced when placed here two runs back, I dont think he can reel Hougenie in but he does look to be a lock for the quinella spot.
Flick Pass has always raced well here and he has the speed to cross and lead, he isn't overly strong but he might be able to hold on for third.
Miss Kamikaze is well drawn out wide and she is the only other chance to sneak into third spot.
Top Four: 3 – 8 – 6 – 7
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Hougenie with Sportingbet
Trifecta: 3/6,7,8/6,7,8 ($6 for 100%)
Trifecta: 3/8/6,7 ($2 for 100%)
Exacta: 3/8

Thunder Eyes isn't the most talented chaser in this race but he does possess slick early speed and he should get a fairly cheap lead in this event. Two starts back he posted a solid 30.35 victory here and if he can get down to the 30.20 mark he should be able to hold on, there is a lack of early speed in this event so I'm expecting them to shuffle up behind him at the first bend.
Grin And Win is never far away and he must be included in your exotic bets. He has been placed in his past three starts and this is a big drop in class for him.
Knave has a lot of talent and he will be steaming home at the end, he has won here on two occasions and he does own a slick 30.03 PB.
Cute To Boot rounds out the chances, her last win came from this draw and she will be hitting the line solidly.
Top Four: 6 – 3 – 5 – 8
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Thunder Eyes and Knave with Sportingbet
Boxed Quinella: 3,5,6,8 ($6 for 100%)
Exacta: 3,5,6/3,5,6,8 ($6 for 100%)
Trifecta: 3,5,6/3,5,6,8/2,3,4,5,6,8 ($36 for 100%)
1st: $5,250 2nd: $1,500 3rd: $750.

Titan Ash turned in a great effort when placed here last time and she should prove too classy for this lot. She has been missing the kick of late but she is normally a much better beginner and if she is given room in the first 50m she should make an impact.
Don't Go Quietly has been placed in six of his past eight starts and when he sights the bunny he is capable of reeling off very slick sectionals. He is suited to the rails draw and he only needs some luck in running.
King Elliot will settle on the speed and if they shuffle up behind him he may just steal the prize. Last time out he led for a long way and he made the talented Messidonna Cloud work hard for victory.
Top Four: 4 – 2 – 7 – 6
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Titan Ash with Sportingbet
Boxed Quinella: 2,4,6,7 ($6 for 100%)
Exacta: 2,4,7/2,4,6,7 ($9 for 100%)
Quinella: 4 to rove with 2,6,7 ($3 for 100%)
1st: $5,250 2nd: $1,500 3rd: $750.

Classy Haze had no luck when returning to town last time but he is a super talent when on song and if he gets away cleanly he will take some catching. He isn't overly strong but he is very good when on the bunny and he has broken 30 seconds here previously.
Kulu Cha Ching should get a nice cart across early and she should be in the firing line throughout, she made her 500m debut here last week and she should be much better for that run.
Gemma Duel also has the speed to lead and she should run a cheeky race, the only problem is that she does stop quickly in the last 50m. This race features a lot of front runners so whoever leads should win.
Top Four: 5 – 6 – 7 – 4
Suggested Bets:
Win bets on Classy Haze and Dashing Man with Sportingbet
Quinella: 5 to rove with 4,6,7 ($3 for 100%)
Exacta: 5,6,7/4,5,6,7 ($9 for 100%)

Grand Roman is much better than his recent form reads and he is drawn to get the gun run. The red is expected to hold them out early, so he should just lob onto the rail behind her and I would expect him to reel her in mid race. He has won 12 of 31 here and he has broken the 30 second mark on numerous occasions.
Birkdale Beauty is racing in career best form and she should lead for a long way, she posted three smart wins here on the trot recently and if they bunch up behind her she will be off and gone with the prize.
Love Kills will appreciate the drop in class and he returned to the winners list with a handy 30.20 win here, if he can avoid early bother he should be a major factor.
Top Four: 2 – 1 – 6 – 5
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Grand Roman with Sportingbet
Quinella: 2 to rove with 1,5,6 ($3 for 100%)
Exacta: 1,2,6/1,2,5,6 ($9 for 100%)
Trifecta: 2/1,5,6/Field ($18 for 100%)
1st: $6,650 2nd: $1,900 3rd: $950.

Farmer's Gold is a class act and he is drawn to get all the breaks. I'm expecting Bill's Fantasy to have enough speed to hold them out early and if he does, Farmers Gold should be able to follow him through. He has a great record here and he has turned in some monster performances of late.
Sheridon got knocked over many times here last week but he was still good enough to run over the top of them late and dead heat with Abby's Fantasy. If he is afforded a clear passage early tonight he will prove very hard to hold out.
Dream River loves racing here and he can show early speed in his races, I dont like the draw but he is capable of leading or coming from off the speed in his races.
Top Four: 2 – 3 – 6 – 1
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Farmer's Gold with Sportingbet
Boxed Quinella: 1,2,3,6 ($6 for 100%)
Exacta: 2,3,6/1,2,3,6 ($9 for 100%)
Trifecta: 2/1,3,6/Field ($18 for 100%)

I'm going to go with some value in this event, Black Paradox has terrible form but he is highly talented when switched on and if he finds the early lead he may give them something to catch. He is likely to be big odds and he is worth an each way ticket because this is not an overly strong event.
Bago Kysam is drawn to settle in a prominent position early, last time he exited this draw he posted a sizzling 30.50 win at Ipswich.
Ultra Blue is a bit hit or miss early but she is more than capable when she comes out. Four starts back she led throughout here and posted an impressive 30.18.
Double Strom is another with a heap of ability but he does do a lot of things wrong in running, if he goes around at silly odds he is probably worth a saver bet.
Top Four: 2 – 1 – 3 – 5
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Black Paradox and Double Storm with Sportingbet
Boxed Quinella: 1,2,3,5 ($6 for 100%)
Exacta: 1,2/1,2,3,5 ($6 for 100%)
Trifecta: 1,2,3/1,2,3,5/1,2,3,4,5,7 ($36 for 100%)
1st: $5,250 2nd: $1,500 3rd: $750.

Magic Maiden has a sizzling 29.96 PB here and last time out she showed devastating early speed when narrowly beaten in quick time. This is a big drop in class for her and if she finds the lure early it should be a matter of times and margins.
Mr. Brand doesn't win very often but he charges to the line and he is never far away, from the red he should settle fairly close to the lead and he could be a great anchor for second and third in your exotics.
Midnight Tammy continues to improve and impress and if she crosses early she will give a great sight, her last 50m isn't great but she is getting stronger with every run.
Top Four: 2 – 1 – 7 – 8
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Magic Maiden with Sportingbet
Boxed Quinella: 1,2,7,8 ($6 for 100%)
Exacta: 1,2/1,2,7,8 ($6 for 100%)
Trifecta: 2/1,7,8/Field ($18 for 100%)
