Allmendinger was desperately unlucky here last week and although he is drawn poorly out in the pink I think he should be able to make amends tonight. Three starts ago he recorded a blistering 29.69 win here and on that occasion he showed a tremendous turn of foot soon after box rise. If he can get away on terms tonight he should be able to burn them off after about 50m or so. He isn't the most reliable beginner but I think he should get the breaks tonight.
Fancy Chance looks the obvious danger from the gun draw. He recently scored an all the way win here in 29.99 and he possesses great early speed. From the red he should be able to settle in the top two as they head for the back straight and he won't be far away at the business end. Le Burglar is the interesting runner, he lacks genuine early speed but he has the ability to work his way through a field and after a string of placings he is bursting to break through.
Top Four: 8 – 1 – 5 – 6

Irinka Hope has been a little disappointing in her past two starts but prior to that she looked super impressive when scoring here and in the process she broke the magical 42 second barrier. From the rails draw she should be able to hold the lead or at worst settle in the top three, this isn't a very strong affair and with an ounce of luck in running she should get the cash.
Luzaka Icon has the ability to cause an upset at odds and she should be afforded a fair bit of luck in running from the favourable draw. She hasn't been too far away in recent efforts and she appears to be running out the trip a lot better these days. Joane smashed a similar field here last week in 42.77 and a repeat of that effort would see her be in the mix again.
Top Four: 1 – 8 – 3 – 4

Very open race but I'm going to give the edge to My Boy Snoop. He is hit or miss at box rise and at present his box manners are very poor but I'm willing to give him a chance tonight. Two starts ago he turned in an enormous effort to score at Sandown in 34.11 and he has previously won here in a sizzling 29.70. There isn't a whole lot of speed drawn around him so he should get a relatively clear run early.
Oh So Striking is an exciting prospect and he recently gapped a handy field when scoring at Richmond in 30.52. The empty draw underneath is a big advantage and he should get plenty of room in the first 50m. Lani Banarni has returned to racing in fine style with two brilliant wins and if she can ping the lids again she will be in the mix for a long way. She has a good record here having won four of six but she will need to trim her steady 30.08 PB.
Top Four: 2 – 6 – 7 – 8
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on My Boy Snoop

Shoulders returns to her home track after running second in the Group One Maturity Classic at The Meadows and he looks primed to return to the winners list. The pink draw can sometimes be a disadvantage but he has a few keen railers drawn underneath and that should allow him to get a nice cart across in the first 50m.
Swan's Mavis has been pinging the lids of late and if she gets away again she should lead for a long way. She was beaten by a freakish type here last week and if Shoulders happens to find trouble she may just steal the prize. Tautology is likely to be well supported but I feel that he is drawn poorly in the red, he is going to need the breaks in the first 50m and I don't think he will get it. Velvet Flame possesses early speed and she should also give a great sight.
Top Four: 8 – 6 – 3 – 4
Suggested Bets:
Trifecta: 8/3,4,6/Field ($18 for 100%)

Booming Bennett has been racing in good style here of late and if she can reproduce her 29.83 winning effort from four runs back she will take a power of beating. There is a fair bit of speed in this event but she has recorded 5.42 to the first marker on two occasions here and that would be more than enough to lead here. With a couple of handy speedsters in this event she may go around at big overs.
Creepy Coupe obviously has the class edge but from the two box he will need everything to go his way in the first 50m. If he gets a clear crack at them he will most likely win, however there is a fair bit of speed drawn either side and he may just get squeezed out. Ready To Riot has gone off the boil since scoring at The Meadows in June, however she returns to her favourite track and that may help her regain some confidence.
Top Four: 5 – 8 – 1 – 2
Suggested Bets:
Win bets on Booming Bennett and Ready To Riot.

Dusty Moonshine has won three in a row in brilliant style here of late and she really should make it four on the trot. All three wins here have been in sub 42 seconds and with her early speed she should be in the firing line from the outset. This is a pretty weak final and she appears to have at least six lengths talent wise on her nearest rival.
Pumped Up Zarr is drawn to hold a forward spot early and he was a recent winner here in a smart 42.42. I don't think he can roll the favourite but a repeat of his previous win here would see him fill the quinella spot. Cosmic Rosie has been disappointing in her five tries here but I still believe she can do better and am willing to give one more chance. Her 42.05 Richmond win in July was super impressive and if she can bring that form across she could give this a big shake.
Top Four: 3 – 1 – 4 – 7

Alan's Kidz scored a recent 30.05 win here two runs back and on that occasion he showed blistering early speed. From the red draw he should be able to hold the early lead and he appears to be getting stronger with every run. This isn't the strongest event so if he does hold the early lead he should have enough in the tank to hold on.
Cawbourne Cobra has recorded some top placings over this trip of late and she is bursting to break through. She can be slow to begin in her races but there is a bit of speed underneath her and that should allow her to find the rail soon after the start. Tiger The Weapon would be better suited to a rails draw but he is normally quite reliable early and he is capable of running time when on the bunny.
Top Four: 1 – 4 – 8 – 3
Suggested Bets:
Win bets on Alan's Kidz and Cawbourne Cobra

Chica Destacada smashed a quality field when scoring here last week in a blistering 29.60 and a repeat of that would see her score in convincing fashion. She is a very fast chaser on the bunny and she has the luxury of having two very slow beginners drawn underneath her. She is currently $3.50 fixed with some online bookmakers and that is enormous value.
Tommy Brislane looks to be the main danger and prior to the heats, he was my tip to take out the final. Unfortunately he was a tad slow to begin in his heat and he was never a factor behind Chica Destacada. I would expect him to show immense improvement tonight but if he can't cross her again in the early stages I don't think he will be able to get past her. Queen Esther loves racing her but she will have her work cut trying to cross from the seven draw. Silent Effective is the interesting runner, he is blessed with ridiculous talent but he does take a few strides to get going.
Top Four: 3 – 5 – 1 – 2
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Chica Destacada (snap up the $3.50, Huge over's)
Trifecta: 1,3,5/1,2,3,5/1,2,3,4,5,8 ($36 for 100%)

Bearded Midget is a brilliant beginner and he has returned from a short spell with two brilliant Bulli wins over 400m. The second of those wins appeared to be the most impressive as he had to overcome early difficulties to score. His last 50m is obviously going to be a big concern but I would expect him to establish a monster lead mid race.
Cawbourne Power has been placed in four of his past five starts here and he should appreciate the big drop in class. His box manners aren't great but there are a few runners in this event who struggle to run the trip out and that should allow him to run over the top of them late. Queen Charlie has been racing in fine style of late over this trip and if she pings the lids again she should be in the mix when they head for home.
Top Four: 7 – 5 – 2 – 3
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Bearded Midget

Ritza Raider was desperately unlucky when placed here last week and tonight he gets every chance to return to the winners list. The middle pin is a big disadvantage but there are a number of wide runners drawn on his outer and that should allow him to get a relatively clear run in the early stages. This is probably the weakest race he has competed in for a while and if he can find the form which saw him win here in a slick 29.79 he should get the cash.
Avondale Zena is a reliable beginner and she is blessed with tremendous early speed. Her last 50m is always a struggle but if she can cross early she may carve them up and get away with a race winning lead. Zola Icon is much better than her recent form suggests and she should show some improvement tonight.
Top Four: 4 – 8 – 2 – 1
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Ritza Raider
Quinella: 4 to rove with 1,2,8 ($3 for 100%)
