BEST BETS
R6 n6 ABOUT TO EXPLODE Back last on map. 5* up off 21 days drops 6kg and stays at 1200m. Last start Class 6 Eagle Farm drew wider in small field sat back 5th inside 5L off on a slow tempo in an unsuitable race with 60kg. Charged late with 3rd fastest L600m of the meeting when 2nd to Restonica who led beaten O.8L. Loves Eagle Farm and has powerful late closing speed. Proven on Soft and keen he wins today.
R7 n5 AKAYSHA Back inside early on map. 2°d up off 19 days back to 1000m (-100m). Last start resumed off short 86-day spell BM94 Rosehill drew inside sat back 4L and was then held up severely in straight- basically taken out of race when 5* to Point and Shoot beaten 2.8L but still closed off with 6’h fastest L200m of meeting- should have won. Very well placed at weights and has powerful late closing speed. Proven Soft.
R9 n10 COTE ATLANTIQUE Forward on speed. 3′ up off 14 days drops 3kg and well suited out to 1600m (+150m).
Last start off 35 days Open Doomben drew outside missed start badly (3L) sat back 11L
inside on a very slow tempo. Had no hope of winning from there and then held up on turn before charging late with meeting dominant L600m figure for 2nd to Miss Joelene beaten 0.4L. Clearly unlucky there, proven out to 1600m and will be strong late with 53kg. Loves it soft if more rain arrives.

R3 n1 BLIND RAISE Forward early behind the speed. 2nd race start off 19 days rises 2.5kg and stays at 1400m.
Last start on debut 2YO Sandown L sat 4 in 1/1 on a crawl speed tempo-they walked in front in that race and it became a 400m sprint home. He exploded at the 200m to win very easily by 2.3L. Nice horse and map suits with cover-he will really appreciate more early speed here. Keen he runs them down late and wins again.
R4 n2 MUKHTALIF Forward inside on speed. 2nd up off 21 days rises 1.5kg and stays at 1800m. Last start resumed off 176 days BM74 Caulfield with winkers off (first Aust run for C Maher). Drew outside sat 2nd on a fast tempo and was very strong through the line winning by 2L.
Controlled that race up on a fast tempo and is well placed to do the same today.
R7 n15 ZAKOUMA Back off MF outside with cover. 4** up off 28 days drops 1kg and stays at 2000m. Last start BM84 Flemington H8 track sat back 9L off on a fast tempo. Was still 7L off them early in straight but exploded late winning by 2.8L. Race rated highly and he had outstanding closing figures off that tempo. Back on dryer track is no issue and should run over these late again with 53kg. Keen he wins.

R3 n6 CANTIAMO Forward inside on leaders back. 3’d up off 21 days rises 2.5kg and stays at 1200m. Last start Group 3 Randwick S7 track sat back 5″ 2L off on an even tempo and clear run home late from there beaten 2L by Plaintiff in a good quality high rating race. Resumed Gosford winning easily by 2.3L with excellent closing figures under no pressure. Nice filly who gets map favours here with a positive gear change and is well suited.

R7 n2 BONJOY 4th up off 22 days back to 1400m (-200m). Last start Listed Ascot sat back 5L on a crawl speed temp0-they walked there early and she had no hope of winning from there. Had meeting fastest L600m figure when beaten 1.2L by Essentric Nature. Class mare back to a faster run 1400m today and she should be too strong late and win.

R4 n13 SHAHAR Resumes for smart local stable and brings handy Victorian form for a race like this. Has been well prepared for this with two impressive jump-outs at this track. Has an awkward draw to overcome but with any early luck will take plenty of beating.

Last start BM66 Sandown L with blinkers off drew outside sat back 5L off on a very fast tempo and was wide there no cover. Set a task there by rider in an on-speed race on a biased track when 4th beaten 2.5L with an excellent L600m figure. J Melham a key booking off a fast early tempo here, he should run over these late and win.
R4 n3 BLINDEDBYTHELIGHT Forward inside behind the speed. 2nd up off 28 days and suited out to 1600m(+100m). Last start resumed off 133-day spell Group 2 Rosehill S6 track sat 5th inside 4L off on an even tempo. Clear run home late to just miss when 2nd to Idle Flyer (won Group 1 next start). Race rated highly and her L600m figure off that tempo was outstanding.
Proven 2nd up, back on dry no issue off a great map and well weighted. Keen she can win.
