The Women in Racing Luncheon 24th Oct Handicap 1200m
Incivility and Game Cove possess good early speed. NO CASH HERE (2) saluted two runs ago and not disgraced last time out when in the firing line on the when nudged out in a 58. Finds a suitable race and can bounce back. GAME COVE (9) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time when beaten half a length over 1200m. Likely to push forward and is one of the main contenders. ONLY THE BEST (5) did well to place over 1000m after he got a long way back in the run. The extra journey should play into his hands, and he's always a chance if things go his way. DELUSIONALDICTATOR (1) hasn't been able to break through for a while, but was tracking well before disappointing last time. INCIVILITY (3) raced forward and deserved the 58 win. Carries more weight but can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with No Cash Here. |

Red Centre Racing Awards 11th Oct 3 & 4 YO Handicap 1100m
Small field but plenty of pace engaged, including Mougenot, King Bling and Battle Jack. MATRON SAMSING (2) brings compelling synthetic form from Victoria on a 104-day return. Now under the care of Kerry Petrick and is likely to be too good if presented on song. The betting will be key. MOUGENOT (1) was heavily backed and justified the support scoring by 1.5L lengths resuming over 1000m. Open to plenty of improvement and can go close. Ditto KING BLING (3), who held on well to finish 1.5L behind the above when resuming. He has plenty up the sleeve and the longer sprint suits. Doubt there's much between BATTLE JACK (4) and BOOM SMASH OPERA (5), but they'd need to lift to threaten in this contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Matron Samsing has the numbers. |

Ladbrokes Big Bets Handicap 1100m
Several of these have good gate speed so a strong tempo is expected. Competitive. GRINZINGER LASS (3) recorded a determined win last start by 0.9 lengths over 1200m, going back-to-back. She improved again and jumps from the inside gate. Will get every chance to deliver the hat-trick. BOY BIG (1) was an emphatic winner last time over 1000m. Has a strong record this journey and will take beating again. THE GIRL'S BOY (2) was a winner over 1300m at Darwin last time out, coming home with a powerful run to score comfortably. Rolls up on a 9-day return but has to come back 200m, and that's the niggle. TANGO STEPZ (4) was back on track placing over 1200m. Tumbles in weight today and that brings her into it. BOLD TROPIC (5) won't be far away off an improved run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Grinzinger Lass. |

Young Guns Nov 1st Handicap 1600m
Reasonable tempo with Frankfurt probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. FRANKFURT (1) is hard to catch but he finds a suitable assignment and assess his chances an the near miss at Darwin two back. Has been kept on the fresh side and has won over the mile. MURRAJONG ROAD (4) has threatened here his last two and gets in well with the 3kg claim. Has the winkers on again and has recorded a win at the trip. Will go close in a weak contest. TINTERN POWER (6) is fitter for two runs back sound record at this distance and is one of the prime contenders. PROPHESIER (5) mixes the form but would have claims putting his best foot forward. Should be around the mark. MIRACOLI (3) has been freshened and goes into the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Frankfurt. |

Derby Day Nov 1st Handicap 1600m
Expecting Valley Prince to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. ALTAR BOY (2) is an honest type who impressed last time scoring by 2.5L over 1400m at this track. Has won 2/3 here over a mile and has the inside gate and handy 2kg claim. Tough to beat. KIEFFER (4) is a threat. Placed second behind the above seeking the hat-trick and hit the line hard from back in the field. Stepping back up to the mile won't be an issue and he gets in better at the weights. VALLEY PRINCE (6) found one much too good last time as favourite and was better leading and placing over this distance the one prior. Maps well and the 3kg claim brings him into it. FLYING START (3) placed well beaten behind Alter Boy, but he got a long way back and can get closer with better luck. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Altar Boy. |
