Adam Handler finally broke through here last week with a brilliant 30.12 heat win. After beginning fairly he showed an abundance of speed and went past the second marker in a best of the day 17.73. If he can repeat that effort he will be very hard to reel in. There appears to be a fair bit of speed in the seven so he should be able to get a nice cart across in the early stages.

Dyna Double One scored an explosive 30 flat debut win here and he is the obvious danger. In his heat effort he had to overcome early difficulties so he is capable of going even quicker. My only concern with him is that his first section of 5.25 is pretty average so he may get strung up in traffic soon after the start.

Cigar Same has recorded two handy placings here to date and he shouldn't be too far away again, he is a bit hit or miss early but he can feature if he steps cleanly.

Tobias Kelton and Dyna Vickers are the only other winning hopes, both were impressive heat winners and with luck in running both can feature.

Top Four: 8 – 2 – 3 – 1

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Adam Handler with Sportingbet

Boxed Quinella: 1,2,3,8 ($6 for 100%)

Exacta: 2,3,8/1,2,3,8 ($9 for 100%)

Trifecta: 8/1,2,3/Field ($18 for 100%)

Charleston is an exciting prospect and if he reproduces the form which saw him record two commanding Ballarat wins he will prove extremely hard to hold out. On both occasions he was fair to begin but he showed a dazzling turn of foot. From the pink draw he should get every chance to muster speed and put himself into the race at the first bend and the manner in which he hit the line at Ballarat suggests he won't have too much trouble running out the journey.

Our Spinner is drawn to find the early lead and he caught the eye when winning at Cranbourne in 30.58 recently. There is a little bit of speed drawn on his outside but if he can step cleanly he should have sufficient speed to hold them out.

Tzar Norma showed great mid race pace in her top placing here two runs back and that type of effort would see her feature again, she is likely to be nice odds so she may be worth an each way ticket.

Alpha Zeus was solidly placed here last week and he should have enough speed to settle just behind Our Spinner in the early stages, he will want to get a little wide early but he should have sufficient room too.

Top Four: 8 – 1 – 6 – 2

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Charleston with Sportingbet

Boxed Quinella: 1,2,6,8 ($6 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,8/1,2,6,8 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 8/1,2,6/Field ($18 for 100%)

Humming Birdhill was a classy 30.28 winner here three runs back and on that occasion she showed impressive early speed. From the wide draw she is going to need a little bit of luck early and I think she should get it as the six is a keen railer and the pink is fairly slow early, so she should get every chance to muster speed into the first bend.

Lektra Spider has the good draw and she showed improvement with a 30.57 win here last time, the time wasn't flashy but she will continue to get stronger with more racing.

Flash Zoe is another who will settle on the speed and she has won two of her five starts here, she will need to lead clearly to win but she does have the speed to cross and if they bunch up behind her she may just steal the prize.

Reiko Bale rounds out the chances, she can be very unreliable at times but she should get a nice cart across early and she did beat a smart type here two runs back.

Top Four: 7 – 1 – 8 – 5

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Humming Birdhill with Sportingbet

Quinella: 7 to rove with 1,5,8 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,7/1,5,7,8 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 7/1,5,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

Small field but fantastic lineup all the same. Star Recall is drawn to hold them out early and last week she set the track alight when scoring in an explosive 34.01. On that occasion she posted ridiculous early sectionals and if she can repeat that performance she should be able to set up a massive lead mid race and that should be enough to hold out Eliza Blanche.

Eliza Blanche has won three of four over this trip and she too can reel off explosive sectionals. The only worry with her is that she lacks mid race pace and that's where Star Recall may get away from her mid race.

Cosmic Wise is another with a great record here and she should settle in the top three early, I dont think she is as fast as the inside two but if she crosses them early she can give a great sight.

Perfect Tess is in rare form and this is her toughest test to date, I dont think she can win tonight but a top three finish isn't beyond her. There are some very talented types in this event but to me the one to beat two looks a good thing.

Top Four: 1 – 2 – 8 – 5

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Star Recall with Sportingbet

Trifecta: 1/2/Field ($4 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1,2/1,2/5,7,8 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1/2/5,8 ($2 for 100%)

Exacta: 1/2 ($2 for 100%)

Dyna Nihilist is an absolute beast and he is drawn to make a big impact. Over the past two or three months he has probably been the most improved chaser in the country and in recent weeks he has scored some devastating wins, however his most impressive effort probably came last time out when placed at Sandown Park. On that occasion he was slow to begin and he gave them a fair head start but he charged home to be beaten by less than three lengths in blistering time. If he gets a clear passage early tonight he should blow them away and he will be running some serious time.

Dyna Fancy is ultra consistent and she beat a class lineup at Ballarat last time in a zippy 25.39, she has the speed to cross and she has been racing with a lot more strength in recent times.

Hot Whirl races well at this venue and she has broken 30 seconds here previously, she should get plenty of room in the early stages and if she can settle mid field she should be able to run home into a place.

Stompin' has won six of eight to date and his past two wins at Ballarat have been sensational, if he can handle the track at his first look he will take a power of beating.

Top Four: 1 – 6 – 8 – 5

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Dyna Nihilist with Sportingbet

Boxed Quinella: 1,5,6,8 ($6 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,6/1,5,6,8 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1/5,6,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

Keybow just keeps on winning and he appears to have a fair bit on this lot. Last time out he captured the Brisbane Cup final and he has shown great box manners in recent weeks. With the empty draw on his outside he should get room to show his customary early speed and he should settle outside Especially as they head into the first turn and as they head to the back straight he should go into overdrive. He is going to be extremely short but with an ounce of luck he should get the job done.

Mepunga Fearon is another who should be suited by the empty draw underneath and he can show smart early speed in his races. His recent form doesn't look that flashy but he has been missing the kick, tonight he is coming off a two month break so he should be ready to fire fresh.

Blue Giant has enormous talent and he turned in a big performance when placed in the Ballarat Cup last time, he is going to need some room early but if he gets it he is more than capable of matching it with Keybow.

Especially is likely to set the pace and she is capable of holding on for a place, she is likely to get burnt off mid race.

Top Four: 4 – 6 – 1 – 2

Suggested Bets:

Trifecta: 4/1,2,6/Field ($15 for 100%)

Trifecta: 4/1/Field ($5 for 100%)

Trifecta: 4/Field/1 ($5 for 100%)

High Class really caught the eye when winning here two runs back in 30.03 and she should be suited by the rise in distance. She is a better chaser when she can lead and dictate the terms, over this trip she shouldn't have too much competition in the early stages and I would expect her to set up a nice lead mid race. She is likely to get a little tired in the run home but she should have enough in the tank to hold on.

Wind Whistler is armed with a monster finish and he too should be suited to this journey, I would much prefer him from a wider draw but he has the class edge and with an ounce of luck in the first 50m he will prove extremely hard to hold out.

Classy Boy doesn't win all that often but he is rarely far away, the box draw hasn't done him many favours but he is very strong and he can run home into a place spot.

Soho Rhythm beat a classy lineup at Ballarat over 545m and if you look back through her form, her past three victories have come from wide draws.

Top Four: 7 – 1 – 8 – 6

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on High Class with Sportingbet

Trifecta: 1,7/1,7/Field ($12 for 100%)

Trifecta: 7/1,6,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,7,8/1,6,7,8 ($9 for 100%)

Quinella: 7 to rove with 1,6,8 ($3 for 100%)

Udon Bale has scored two top wins here of late and he appears drawn to get the gun run tonight. He isn't the best of beginners but he does muster speed well and with King Surfa expected to lead he should be able to drive through at the first bend and settle on his back. He is very strong in the run home so if he can be within four lengths of King Surfa off the back he should prove too strong in the run home.

King Surfa will set a cracking pace and he recently scored an impressive 30.10 win here. He is clearly a genuine winning chance because he will lead them up, however in this class I'm a little concerned that he may get pressured a bit earlier in the race than normal.

Where's The Surf is all class and he returned to form at Warragul recently with a brilliant 25.92 Warragul win, on that occasion he powered to the line and if he can settle in the top four tonight he may just prove too strong for his rivals.

Earl Bale is an improving type and he is the only other winning hope, this is a big rise in class but in time he will be able to match it with these type of rivals.

Top Four: 2 – 4 – 1 – 7

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Udon Bale with Sportingbet

Exacta: 2,4/1,2,4,7 ($6 for 100%)

Quinella: 2 to rove with 1,4,7 ($3 for 100%)

Trifecta: 2,4/2,4/Field ($12 for 100%)

Kiss Me Ketut is slowly returning to his best form and he looks well placed in this event. If he can step cleanly he should get a nice cart across from Bogner Bale in the early stages and he should burn them off as they head into the first turn. He meets a good one in Are Jip tonight but I think he will be a long way in front of him early and he should get the job done.

Are Jip is a gun NSW speedster and he is getting ready for the Silver Chief, he has scored some explosive Wentworth Park wins to date but he is the type of chaser who needs to get out into some open space, if he can get some luck at the first bend he can make a big impact.

Jordan Allen should settle on the speed and he was a zippy 29.53 Sandown winner two runs back, his last 50m isn't great but if he holds them out early he should be there at the end.

Lektra Brave is the only other chance, he showed improvement when placed here last week and he has great place prospects again.

Top Four: 6 – 2 – 1 – 4

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Kiss Me Ketut with Sportingbet

Exacta: 1,2,6/1,2,4,6 ($9 for 100%)

Trifecta: 6/1,2,4/Field ($18 for 100%)

Quinella: 6 to rove with 1,2,4 ($3 for 100%)

Opus Bale continues to improve with more racing and he appears drawn to play a major role. Last time out he experienced a lot of bother in the run but he was still good enough to finish on strongly and snag third spot. From the red he should be able to settle in the top two early and he will be very strong in the run to the line.

Stylish Baroque could be the value in the event, she has the ability to ping away and cross them early and she is a different chaser when she lands on the bunny. Two starts back she was narrowly beaten at Sandown in good time and a similar effort here would see her feature at nice odds.

Black Illusion has a poor record over this trip but he does have a lot of talent, if he has a little luck in the early stages he should be able to run a good race.

Top Four: 1 – 6 – 4 – 8

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Opus Bale with Sportingbet

Trifecta: 1/4,6,8/Field ($18 for 100%)

First Four: 1,4,6/1,4,6/8/Field ($30 for 100%)

First Four: 1,4,6/1,4,6/Field/8 ($30 for 100%)

Some highly promising chasers look set to do battle in this one and the exciting Droopy's Bentley looks drawn to get all the breaks. Last time out he resumed from a short spell and he scored in devastating fashion at Shepparton in 25.13. He has won here in a slick 30.06 previously and he appears to have made a lot of improvement since that run, so if he gets across early the time he records could be very interesting.

Izzey Bale is well drawn nearer the inside and he was an impressive 30.11 winner here recently, he is going to need some luck in the first 50m but he is very strong so he will be charging home right at the end. Fleetwood Jay has won four on end with the latest being here in a solid 30.36. He would have derived a lot of benefit from that run and if he finds the early lead he is capable of getting down to around the 30.10 mark. Memphis Jookin' is much better than his recent form reads and he could be the big improver.

Top Four: 8 – 2 – 3 – 5

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Droopy's Bentley with Sportingbet

Boxed Quinella: 2,3,5,8 ($6 for 100%)

Exacta: 2,8/2,3,5,8 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 8/2,3,5/Field ($18 for 100%)

Thunder Flame appears to be improving with every run and he appears drawn to get all the breaks. His box manners aren't great but he does muster speed at a great rate and if he can avoid trouble in the first 50m he should make a big impact.

Bramwell Brown showed tremendous improvement when winning at Bendigo last time out in 28.04 and he hit the line in a commanding manner in that victory. He is having his first look here but if he can handle the first turn he should be there at the end.

Walt Bale turned in a big performance when placed here last week and he has won here previously in a slick 30.06, if he can step on terms with them he should have sufficient speed to settle in the top two.

Se's High Above rounds out the chances, she is likely to settle back in the field but she will be steaming home at the end.

Top Four: 8 – 2 – 4 – 6

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Thunder Flame with Sportingbet

Exacta: 2,8/2,4,6,8 ($6 for 100%)

Quinella: 8 to rove with 2,4,6 ($3 for 100%)

Trifecta: 8/2,4,6/Field ($18 for 100%)
