Race 1 BEWS caught the eye when resuming and may settle a bit closer from a favourable draw. AWAPUNI PRINCESS will settle close to last but has been jumping out well and will be charging late. TIFFANY VALENTINE hit the line with Bews last start, so must have a case. WHITE BEAR was arguably unlucky in that race and is also in the game. Selections: 3,13,16,12 Suggested Bet: Bews to win Race 2 SMOKIN’ PRINCESS has been impressive in easier company over 1600m at Pakenham recently and gives the impression 1800m will be ok. MOYA LASS won well first up and will appreciate stepping up to this distance ..read more

RACE 1 Racing returns to Rosehill after a hugely successful autumn carnival, no more Group & Listed racing until the spring. Although not drawn well the odds for PRESIDENT suggest he’s worth an each-way ticket. Nothing wrong with his debut performance before outclassed in the Skyline behind Storm Boy, Prost & others. Liked his recent trial & with luck early he can figure in the finish. PISCES was just over 4 lengths behind Straight Charge when we last saw him, lead-up trials all good enough to give this a shake fresh. SEASCAPE had support at Gosford when bolting in, this is harder ..read more

RACE 1 Tough race to open up a big day at Eagle Farm even allowing for the smallish field. I’ll lean to the consistent CONNECTICUT who was run down late here last Saturday, back down in the weights he should roll forward in a race which looks like being run only leisurely. NORTHERN DECREE had been finding the line strongly prior to the last start win so perhaps it shouldn’t have been all that surprising? Step up in distance should suit. Numbers: 7 – 9 – 1 – 4 Suggested Bet: Box up top 4 selections in exotics. RACE 2 Keen on the chances of SHEZADANDI who had absolutely no luck here a couple of ..read more

RACE 1 SIREN ASSAULT won the Group 3 Gimcrack Stakes and then last weekend sat three deep the trip in the Karrakatta Plate when still running fifth behind highly exciting (and potentially Hong Kong bound) juvenile Bustling. In 2023 Sean & Jake Casey backed up Snow Prince out of the Karrakatta Plate and he bolted in – they try the same thing in 2024 with Siren Assault. She’s the class filly and she’s tough. RAINLINE was brave on debut after being trapped three deep throughout. We get a sighter into that form with True Apostle racing Thursday at Ascot. SHOW THE WAY got the job done last star ..read more

RACE 1 DREAMTIME JEAN finished third first-up last campaign over 1400m behind Playing Quest and then went to Geraldton when run down by Queen Nardi. Recent trial behind Watch Me Rock was strong enough to suggest that he could win this first-up. LADY DERRINGER kept coming behind $1.40 pop Twist Of Gold last start. She’s shown glimpses at trials and is now starting to put it together at the races. WANNA CRACKER missed away last start and that was the end for him. ELUSIVE DREAM has promised to win a maiden for a few seasons now. Fresh could be best? Numbers: 6 – 8 – 5 – 1 Suggested Bet – DREAMTIM ..read more

RACE 1 KINGS HONOUR was run down first-up by Jaz Session who was backed off the boards in a 3 year old 0MWLY down the straight last Thursday when scoring impressively to go two from two this preparation. Makes the form look good, benefits from the straight 1000 experience and should jump, hug the outside fence and from there he’s the one to beat. But you’d expect he’s <$1.35? ROCKING GEM is the only danger on paper off the back of a nice trial win. She did race against King’s Honour on debut and she finished 3L off him. AIN’TNOCUREFORLOVE and I’M NIPOTE can fight out the minor in a thin rac ..read more

RACE 1 MANZOR MAGIC was backed into favourite on Good Friday (how?) in a 54+ against the older horses. He got within 4L late of Grand Reserve, Hieronymus Bosch, Simply, Blue Card and beat home Savorski. That should be sufficient form to win a lowly 2000m maiden. DEMONSTRATION went close last start behind Candlelight Sherif. He’s had 15 cracks at it but he can stay the trip and will keep whacking away. MISSEDTHEDEEL ran second in a C1 last start behind Canggu over 1600m. Looks like she’ll stay. SKITTISH looked a fleeting hope last start but may have peaked on the run. Numbers: 3 – 1 – 5 – 2 Sug ..read more

Race 1 Good race to kick off and expecting a more positive ride aboard PERSPIRATION, who went back and was left with too much to do over this trip last start. SNACK BAR won well over 1200m last time at this after an eye catching debut and maps for a similar run. BRING FORTH has been jumping out well for his debut. BRIGHELLA charged home to win over 1000m on debut and looks suited by the extra 200m. IRREFUTABLY is another impressive debutant winner and has a case. Selections: 1,2,5,3 Suggested Bet: Perspiration to win Race 2 MAWKEB appears well placed stripping fitter for her luckless latest ru ..read more

RACE 1 Interesting race to kick off the day at Eagle Farm with a number of the better fancied runners returning from breaks. Clearly the most interesting is the Magic Millions Maiden winner BARASSI who trounced his rivals back on the big day. Very lightly raced due to issues he’s had a ton of trials including one in the lead up to this winning narrowly over 685m. He’ll be short & no knock from me however I’ll look for a little better value. HIDDEN WEALTH charged home here last start expect him closer this time & hitting the line once again. TIGER SHARK has good ability & maps well ..read more

RACE 1 Another big day of Group 1 racing at Randwick kicks off with a 1400m Midway which as per all the Midways looks very open, nothing jumps off the page that’s for sure. I’ll lean to PEAK on an each-way basis who goes to 1400m for the first time & does give every indication he’ll run it out. Love to see him settle a little closer & that may well be the case with the step up in distance. ELETTRICA clearly has the best form however really climbs in the weights, UZZIAH should be ready to show something. Numbers: 11 – 1 – 2 – 6 Suggested Bet: Box up top 4 selections in exotics. RACE 2 F ..read more
