BEST BETS
R7 n4 BUNKER HUT Forward inside on leaders back. 3ra up off 21 days rises 1kg and stays at 1200m. Last start BM94 Rosehill sat 3ra early on a crawl speed tempo and chased leader hard in straight when 3ra beaten 0.6L by Cloudland. He closed off with powerful L400m figure there off the slow tempo. Lot better horse on dryer tracks and his recent Sydney form since the blinkers have gone on has been very strong and consistent. Sets up well today and keen he wins.
R8 n3 WEIGALL TIGER Positive early to be on speed. 5th up off 42 days and ran 5th recent 1000m trial Doomben G4 track Aug 26. Rises 1kg and back to 1350m (-265m). Last start BM85 Doomben drew wider crossed early to lead on a fast tempo and tried very hard in the straight when 2nd to Space Age beaten 0.6L. Race rated strongly and his L200m figure off that tempo was good. Lot better horse back on dryer tracks and back to 1350m off this map is ideal.
R9 n5 ABOUT TO EXPLODE Maps forward behind lead group. 3ro up off 14 days rises 2.5kg and stays at 1200m. Last start when 2nd up BM78 EFarm drew inside and sat 8th early on an even tempo and powered home late to win by 1.1L. Race rated well and his L200m figure off that tempo was very good. He was inside there on a track where you had to be out wider in the better ground. Really dominant win and he is just a talented late maturing horse. Looks better than these and keen he wins again.

R5 n2 ZOU SENSATION Back on map but fast tempo/smaller field suit there. 5th up off 35 days and ran 3rd recent jump out Flemington 800m Aug 22. Drops 1kg and back to 1200m (-200m) off last start BM100 Flemington win. Drew wider there and sent forward early to lead on a very slow tempo. Strong in straight to win narrowly and race rated well but he’d had enough on the line and Fortunate Kiss was unlucky not to beat him. Lot better suited off 35 days in a fast run 1200m race as he can over race early. Well proven at Moonee Valley and has map advantage over Angel Capital which he may need late to hold him out.
R8 n4 DESERT LIGHTNING Positive early on map from wide draw to be on speed. 2d up off 21 days and suited out to 1500m (+100m). Last start resumed off short 63-day spell off a QLD Winter carnival campaign in Group 2 Caulfield slow 6 track. Sat 3rd inside on a crawl speed tempo 3L behind leader/winner beaten 2L by Private Eye. Placed only run this track resuming in 1200m race at this meeting last year and finds the perfect race today with Luke Nolen back onboard who knows him well.
R10 n3 KING ZEPHYR Resumes off 112-day spell and two trials. Ran 2nd most recent Cranbourne 1000m G4 track Aug 25. Both his trials have been excellent. Good quality horses in top stable – total forgive run on a deteriorating track at Flemington last start. Form and figures prior to that were excellent coming through the benchmark races in style. He has huge closing speed and should run over these late and win today. Quality horse for a BM84 class race today – he is much better than this grade.

R7 n2 CEOLWULF Forward inside on map on leaders back. 2d up off 14 days well suited out to 1600m (+200m). Last start resumed off 133 days Group 1 Randwick H10 track was slow away sat back last 11L off leader on a slow tempo and then rider had a brain explosion and went via the Cape on the home turn which basically cost him the race- beaten 2.5L by Via Sistina. L600m figure outstanding and his run was enormous. Proven 2nd up and loves Randwick out to 1600m. Not sure how these horses beat him today.
R9 n5 PRIVATE EYE Positive early from draw to be on speed. 21d up off 21 days drops 1.5kg and stays at 1400m. Last start resumed off 63-day break Group 2 Caulfield S6 track drew wider crossed early off a great start to lead and control on a crawl speed tempo. Race was over there early and he cruised home to win by 2L eased right down on the line with 4th fastest L200m of meeting. That race was like a barrier trial for him. Forward on map again today and is the best weighted horse here that I have seen in a very long time.

R7 n7 TAJALAT Tony Gollan trained mare who resumed over this course and distance but looked in need of the run when tiring late for 2d behind a handy one. Will strip much fitter this time and maps close to the speed, hard to beat.

R3 n3 IMMORTAL BLISSLast start when 2nd up at Belmont, sat back off midfield 5L off leader on a crawl speed tempo and charged late to win by 0.5L from Snow God (talented and won since). Race rated well off that tempo and he was huge late with fastest L200m of meeting. Flying for new stable and looks better than these.
