AUSTRALIAN PACING GOLD PACE 2300m
HORN PLAYER (2) continues to race well with a string of wins and placings, the last few outings coming in stronger company including a last-start third at Listed level. Won from wider the last time he raced in this grade. Yet to miss place in six tries at this circuit and distance and has the gate speed to take advantage of the low draw. ROCLEA IMAGE (4) ran above market expectations when runner-up in the Vic Frost FFA last week, beating Horn Player home. Draws a couple of spots closer to the pegs. Contender. ARDENS ACE (11) cops a wide barrier but won from there three back and was a solid fourth in the Vic Frost last week. VAN BASTEN (5) draws lower than in recent attempts and will also enjoy a class drop. DANGEROUS THREATS (1) gets the ace draw and may feature again off back-to-back wins. SUGGESTED PLAY: |

BESTINBEDS.COM.AU PACE (HEAT 1) 1609m
STILL ROLLIN (4) drew wide in his first outing for Adam Ruggari but took advantage of a similar barrier to this here last start, leading before cruising home by close to 11m. That added to a good record at this distance and he can push forward again. Big chance to go back to back. HAS THE COURAGE (2) wasn't far away last week and drops to the distance where he placed here prior. Draws to play a role again. DIAMOND ECLIPSE (11) enjoys a class drop on the last attempt and while drawn deep he had some good form from similar barriers prior. SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR (6) wasn't far from the placings last start and draws a couple of spots lower. MR TEDDY (7) will enjoy a class drop so can be competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: |

ACCESS SECURITY PROTECTION SERVICES PACE (HEAT 2) 1609m
ITS CONFIDENTIAL (8) is a progressive colt who was too good first up at Melton, overcoming a second row draw to score by 3m. Has won two of three second-up attempts so should be improved and scored the only time he attempted this circuit and distance. BAD HABITS (10) is a newcomer to the Seaton Grima yard from New Zealand. Hasn't raced for close to two months but an easy trial win in Brisbane suggests he'll be ready to fire. MY UNCLE STAN (5) had a tough draw on the back row last start but the prior form was strong, recording a win and a placing from his previous two at Melton. Could measure up. JILLIBY FABIO (7) disappointed last week but had recorded a string of wins and placings prior so may be worth another chance. ITZMINEONTHELINE (4) returns to the city off back-to-back placings. Can be competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: |

BUBBA GUMP PEST CONTROL PACE (HEAT 3) 1609m
VITE MONET (3) has had four weeks off since tackling stronger company last time but has been kept up to the mark with an easy trial win. Came from this barrier when runner-up in this grade here two back. Goes well on the fresh side and finds a winnable assignment. STORMTIDE (1) did a good job to come from a wider barrier and finish only 4m away last week. Back in distance but the ace draw can see him play a role. FASHION ICON (7) can mix his form but looks suited back to the mile having come from wider to win over this distance here last month. MONTEFIORE (11) draws deep but has been racing well including a placing here last week. VINKE B (10) was a touch disappointing last week but was runner-up at his previous two, one of them from this barrier. Worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: |

LUCK OF THE IRISH PACE (HEAT 4) 1609m
DONEGAL LUTHER (4) looks close to a win off back-to-back placings, the latest at this circuit when beaten only 1.7m in a higher-graded race. Suited in this company and gets his chance. INVITATION ONLY (5) was a beaten favourite in his first outing for the Judd stable but still gave a sight, leading from a couple of spots wider and sticking on for third at this venue and distance. That was his first hitout for nearly two months and he should be better for it. ALTA SIERRA (1) started from the outside barrier last time so will relish the draw on the pegs having recorded two wins and a second in his previous three starts from low draws. OUTSIDE FIGHTER (3) has placed in two of his last three starts here and draws to be competitive again. NO DRAMAS (7) has been solid of late and could play a role. SUGGESTED PLAY: |

CLUB MENANGLE STYLISH MEMPHIS STAKES (LISTED CLASSIC) 1609m
SAHARA BREEZE (11) is a smart mare who brings strong form from Melton, tackling the boys last start and dead heating for the win with an in-form rival. May need some luck on her side from the outside barrier but she is well placed back against her own sex. MISSAUDACIOUS (5) is in good form having come from similar draws to win two of her last three starts at this circuit and distance. Worked before pushing to the front and scoring by close to 2m last week. Big chance again. THE ANSWER (1) made a winning start for the Stanley yard when she came from wider to score by 3.2m at this circuit and distance. Up in grade but is well served by the inside draw. WINDY HILL TARA (9) draws deep but made it back-to-back wins by scoring from this barrier last start at Bathurst. Contender. MY MOONLITE DREAM (10) could do better returning to her own sex.

AGNES BANKS DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING PACE 2300m
RAKADEAKS (5) was back in the winners' stall last time, coming from a similar draw to get home by 2.8m. Steps up in distance but is building a handy record at this circuit and finds another suitable assignment. ALTA MAGACIAN (9) draws wide again but was good from this barrier last week, finishing only 3.8m off the winner. If things go his way he can measure up. SPIRIT OF ARION (8) found winning form here two back and was good when midfield against stronger opposition at Listed level last week. This suits better. LUVARESCHS (2) came from this barrier when fourth to Queensland Oaks favourite Captains Mistress in Brisbane two back. That form reads well for this. SCARLETT MAY (1) overcame a back row draw to find winning form last time. This is a step up but she draws the inside and has upside. SUGGESTED PLAY: |

MULTIQUIP AGGREGATES TROTTERS MOBILE 2300m
OH NOVA LOVE (2) couldn't match a talented Victorian raider last week but the prior form was strong, placing from this barrier two back to follow a string of wins. This looks suitable and things should pan out well for him from this draw. MALIBUU (3) enjoyed a class drop when she led from a wide barrier before cruising home by close to 10m here on Monday. This field is stronger but she has the early speed to take advantage of the better draw. LEAF STRIDE (8) draws deep but there was plenty to like about his latest effort when runner-up off a 10m handicap. SUNNY GEE (5) did well to place last week and could be working his way up to another win. COURAGE STRIDE (6) has claims off a second here two back. SUGGESTED PLAY: |
