NUM TIME COMMENT
1 05:01 WESTSIDE AUTO CARS FOR EVERY BUDGET MS PACE 2130m
 BLAMEITONTHENIGHT (5) faded out as a hot favourite last start but is much better than that. Had been racing well prior including a tough win by 8m two back at this circuit and distance. Prepared to give him another chance. ARIONROCK (2) was forced to do some work from a wider barrier last start but stuck on and finished runner-up, beaten 1.8 metres at Pinjarra. A better draw brings him into contention. SOUND WAVE (4) was held up for a clear run last start so it may pay to forgive that result and assess his chances off a 1.6m third here two back. Last-start placegetter NAVY STREET (9) can get into the finish again.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
2 05:32 TABTOUCH 4YO+ NR 30-65 FINAL MS PACE 2130m
 KINGSEAT (1) continued his impressive run of results when he drew wider and was forced to work but fought to miss narrowly at this circuit last week. That gave him three wins and two placings from his last six starts and he should get every chance from this draw. MARBEECHSAM (10) made it two wins in succession when he beat Kingseat and got the cash here last week. Drawn on the back row this time but scored from there two back. Major player. FRANKIE J HOLDEN (5) has won the last four times he has raced here, completing a winning hat trick in coming from this barrier to get home narrowly last time. Must respect. MEDIEVAL MAN (4) could be close to a win after seconds in his last two outings here.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
3 06:03 TABTOUCH - SAME GAME MULTI BETTORZIPPIT FINAL 0W/15.0K MS PACE 2130m
 MIKIS BEACH (3) should be close to his peak after two nice efforts since a spell. Came from the back row for a resuming second then started a hot favourite last time but worked and clocked in second. Should have come on further and gets his chance from a lower draw. BETTORS PRIDE (4) came from this barrier when beaten less than 2m into fourth last start. Won two of his other three starts this time in, leading from one spot wider to score by 6.4m here two back. Major player. BLAZING REACTOR (10) progressed off a fresh placing to score by 3.6 metres in his first visit to this circuit last start. Plenty of room for improvement so could go on with it. COLD HARD CASH (6) comes to the city with a string of top-two results to his name so must be respected.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
4 06:40 TABTOUCH PLACE A SAME RACE MULTI CATCH A WAVE FINAL NR 30-80 MS PACE 2130m
 BELLY UP (12) was tough in victory here last week, drawing deep and racing three wide without cover but finding plenty for a narrow win over a progressive rival. That was his third success from his last four outings and continued a long string of top-two finishes. Good enough to overcome the back row draw to deliver again. LION QUEEN (3) drew deep and covered ground but was too good in a resuming win by 3.3m. This is stronger but that win took her record here to five from nine and she races well second up. A good draw gives her the chance to go back to back. SOHO MOONRAKER (10) is open to improvement having been beaten only 2.4m into fourth when resuming. LORD TITANIUM (4) is in the mix off a last-start win by a head at this venue.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
5 07:14 WESTSIDE AUTO WHOLESALERS MEMORIAL DAY STAKES MS PACE 2130m
 GOLDEN LODE (9) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, placing in the Christmas Gift when last seen to follow back-to-back wins here. Cops a wide draw for his return but has yet to miss a place when fresh. MENEMSHA (5) has produced some decent efforts since a fresh win here last month, chasing a Nullarbor contender when runner-up two back before a fourth from a wider barrier last time. Major player. PAUL EDWARD (6) will find this easier than the last attempt and managed a win at this venue earlier in the campaign. ROLLING FIRE (8) has had nothing go to plan so far this campaign, racing wide fresh and breaking last start. Capable of much better.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
6 07:48 TABTOUCH PARLIAMENTARIAN'S CUP MS PACE 2536m
 The ace draw should give PRINCE OF PLEASURE (1) every chance to produce his best. He enjoys a class drop on what he has been tackling and has won when third-up before so should be hitting peak fitness. Leading hope. SORRIDERE (5) produced a solid effort when resuming, coming from a wider barrier and racing three deep before clocking in midfield. Draws a couple of spots lower and owns a decent second-up record so should be improved. LUSAKA (12) is having his first start back from a spell of four months having ended last campaign with a string of placings including a third in the Golden Nugget. Tricky draw but boasts a record of four wins from six starts when fresh. SPYGLASS (7) deserves respect having won here two back before coming from a 40m handicap for second in last week's G3 Easter Cup.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
7 08:15 YOU'VE GOT THE TOUCH WITH TABTOUCH 4YO MS PACE 2130m
 QUINTON (3) has finished closer to the winner in each start this time in and should be nearing peak fitness fourth up. Came from the back row for second last start at Pinjarra, beaten 4.2 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw and gets his chance. FRANCO ENCORE (5) led from one spot wider for an easy win when resuming at Bunbury two back before drawing deeper and racing parked when fourth here last time. Reaching peak fitness. Big chance. CHILLI PUNTER (1) added to a string of top-four finishes when beaten 4m in last week's G3 Easter Cup and draws to play a role again. THELITTLE MASTER (7) has claims off a second from a similar draw here two back.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
8 08:41 WESTSIDE AUTO WHOLESALE FINANCING AVAILABLE MS PACE 2130m
 Prepared to overlook the latest result of FRANCO SHERIFF (4) where he drew wide and was forced to work hard when racing three deep. Nice effort prior when he came from a wider barrier than this for a resuming win at this circuit and distance so is worth another chance. YA BETTOR FOLLOWME (1) faded out last start but led and kept going for a nice win at Central Wheatbelt the outing prior so has the gate speed to take advantage of the ace draw. ROLLINDOWNTHERIVER (6) has to come into calculations on the back of a string of top-four finishes at this circuit. KEAYANG JIGSAW (3) has had tougher draws since winning from this barrier at Northam last month but still managed a close second here two back. Respect.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
9 09:08 TABTOUCH - DOWNLOAD THE APP 3YO CADECEUS CLUB CLASSIC PRELUDE NO.3 MS PACE 2130m
 CYCLONE JORDY (6) is an exciting prospect who stretched his unbeaten run in WA to seven when he led and proved too speedy last time. Draws deeper but came from even wider than this three back and was just too good. Looks the winner again. SCOOTER B (3) returns from a spell of four-and-a-half months having won his only two WA starts since crossing from NZ. Comes up against a smart one but draws well and has upside. CONTROL THE ROOM (1) came from the back row to win last start so can go well from the ace draw. CAPTAIN STIRLING (2) is next best.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
10 09:35 TABTOUCH THE NULLARBOR (G1) MS PACE 2536m
 A good draw should give MINSTREL (4) his chance. His campaign has been crafted to have him peaking for this race, coming from this barrier for a fresh win in the Pinjarra Cup before a brave second after working in the Mount Eden Sprint. Kept fresh since but races well that way and he should be able to get to the front. That would see him hard to get past. Star pacer SWAYZEE (10) crosses from the east with a stacked resume including two New Zealand Cups and a Hunter Cup victory over Leap To Fame earlier this year. He starts alone on the back row so Hart will have options and should have him out and rolling toward a forward position. Loves a staying test and represents the class factor. MISTER SMARTEE (7) is the up and comer and last week's second should have topped him off. Has a fine record at this longer distance so should be in the finish. Last year's winner CATCH A WAVE (9) cops the outside draw but last week's win over Mister Smartee suggests he has returned in even better order.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
