BEST BETS
R1 n4 COSMO CENTAURUS
Map suits 3P back outside. 4* up off 14 days rises 2kg back to 1350m (-50m). Last start BM85 Farm H8 track sat 4*h inside 4L off on a very slow tempo. Had the favours there inside late at that meeting winning by 1.2L. L600m figure was strong closing off with 4*h fastest L200m of the meeting. Well proven on soft tracks is race fit and gets Zac Purton off an ideal map. Keen he wins.
R4 n9 DREAM ROCA
Forward inside on map. 2nd up off 14 days out to 1200m (+200m). Resumed off 98 day spell Listed EFarm H8 track drew outside sat back 6L off on a slow tempo. Ran home late for 3rd to The Next Episode beaten 4L. Her closing figures there were strong and the winner there is an elite 2YO. Proven on wet and out to 1200m is ideal.
R9 n2 PROVIDENCE
MF and outside on map. 5th up off 28 days and ran 6th recent tick over 1100m trial Canterbury May 1s beaten 3.3L. Last start 3YO Group 3 Randwick with winkers off out to 2000m drew wider sat back 12L off inside on an even tempo. Ran home powerfully late with race dominant L600m figure for 2nd beaten 0.9L by Matias-excellent effort off an unsuitable race shape that meeting. Map suits late this tempo and soft track no issue.

R4 n11 NITRO
Maps 3P back and wider with cover. Resumes off 160 day spell and two trials. Was pushed out to win most recent 1050m Randwick May 4. Genuine talent and very well placed this class- has huge closing speed. He maps closer now after scratchings and he should charge over the top of these late and win.
R5 n4 MAN OF WORTH
Maps 4P back and wider with cover 2’d up off 24 days and ran 5′ in tick over 800m trial WFarm May 8. Drops 1kg rises and quickly out to 1700m (+450m) off last start when resumed off 105-day spell BM78 Canterbury. Went forward early to sit 2nd on a very slow tempo and took over in straight winning easily by 1.4L. His L400m figure there was very good and stayers just don’t win 1250m races at Canterbury like he did there. Lightly raced 5YO import looks better than these horses.
R9 n9 SURFIN BIRD
Forward inside on leaders back. 2nd up off 14 days drops 1kg and suited out to 1400m (+100m). Last start resumed off 179-day spell Group 3 Hawkesbury drew outside sat 2nd outside on a very slow tempo (suited) toughed it out late for 2d in a close finish to Chidiac. Lot fitter today 2’d up and is a quality mare off a great map. Keen she wins.
R10 n2 LINEBACKER
Forward early behind the leaders. 4** up off 42 days rises 6kg and back to 1300m (-300m). Impressive winning recent 896m trial Canterbury S5 May 1″. Last start Doncaster sat 4** early in 1/1 on a brutal tempo when 6** beaten 7.7L by Sheza Alibi. Excellent effort off that tempo. Went back to Group 3 class Silver Eagle last prep at 1300m and toyed with them off a wide run winning by 2.6L. Map suits today and keen he wins.

Forward inside behind the leader. 4* up off 21 days drops 2kg and stays at 1800m. Last start BM74 Flemington quickly out to 1800m drew outside sat back 7L off on a fast tempo and was wide there MF with cover which was the perfect spot to be on that track. Went up to them easily at the 200m and then put them away late winning a high rating race by 2.2L. Emerging 4YO in good stable and hard to see him not winning again.

R6 n2 KILINOVA
Resumes here for new stable and brings stronger form than these. Has jumped out well in preparation for this and will sit on speed and be strong late.
R7 n1 TWO MINDS
Resumes after an injury enforced layoff. He was well fancied and ran well on debut and has trialled up very nicely for his return, looks better than these.
