CANNINGTON

Race 5 No. 2 Forge Monelli

Got the good draw here and his effort two back was super. Strong type who just needs a clear run up the back to get into his work. Look for him to hit the podium. 

Race 6 No. 5 We Can Too and No. 3 Refund Tux

The 5 is dropping in class and he’s a promising type who can go well here. Coming out of a National sprint heat, he will enjoy this company and can land handy here to go on with it. The 3 will be a price and is getting close. Can run into it with luck and is worth a save EW at odds. 

Race 7 No. 2 Big Boy Bundy

Always dangerous when he draws in. Makes a fast run up the back and handles the corner start beautifully. Can track the red up here and put these to the sword. Big show!!!

Race 8 No. 5 Global Hope

Don’t worry about her form, she is better than that and can lead here with a clean step. Almost did that two back then no luck last week. Runs good time on the arm and is a threat if she hops out here at a good price. 

SANDOWN PARK

Race 3 No. 7 He’s No Slouch and No. 4 Indy Honey 

Got some time for the 7 and he will enjoy being in a slightly easier race this time. Has a blistering turn of foot when he’s on and can run time. The 4 probably goes better at The Meadows but she has had genuine excuses here and will be hard to catch if she leads this time. 

Race 4 No. 8 Pechey’s Girl and No. 7 Targod Shirley 

A couple at odds who can surprise here. The 8 will go forward and she just sticks on all day. Under rated and can get into top 2 here. The 7 was super last week and expect her to go better again. Can stay and will keep coming late. 

Race 5 No. 8 Riccarton Rick 

Great run last week and has a good draw again. Sustains a strong middle and last section and will even try and punch up early. Can still run time. Look for him to hit top two here. 

Race 6 No. 5 Weblec Flare and No. 7 Got No Bro

The 5 is a huge hope here if he offsets this box. Monster run last week and only has to repeat to win. Can reel off enormous sections when he gets mobile. Wins with any luck and great EW bet. Have a very small spec save on the 7. He’s got some talent when he puts it together and will go ok here. 

ANGLE PARK

Race 1 No. 5 Raptor

He’s close. He led his heat but was dragged down just as he crossed and lost his chance. Closer in to the fence is key and his early toe can see him go fast and lead again. Won’t be caught when he gets a clean arm. Must nail the jump, he can. 

Race 5 No. 5 Fifty Eight and No. 7 Contour 

The 5 has turned the corner lately and is racing right at his peak. Some huge efforts in tough races and his draw isn’t that bad here with what’s around him. Will be a threat. The 7 can surprise here at odds and while he goes better over longer, he can sprint well and be strong late. 

Race 8 No. 5 Fabulous Ebony and No. 8 On The Tequila 

The 5 will go fast here and if she lands the arm it will be check and mate. Great record here, has pace and is strong over this trip. The 8 will run her usual honest race and she is well placed out wide here. Look for her to start her run up the back and attack the line hard. 

Race 9 No. 2 Fantastic Dixie and No. 3 Under Siege 

There can be simply no excuse here for the 2. Can and must win and if she gets on the arm sooner, she will rip the clock apart. Perfect draw, every chance to show what she’s got and it’s a lot. Such a shame the 3 has struck a hard race. Still at $81 she’s a save play. She is going to be a lovely middle distance type and will be hitting the line well. Can surprise. The 2 just wins though. No more chances if she goes down tonight. 

Race 10 No. 5 Woodside Brockie

Was part of a no race last week but that run was enough to suggest he is a force here. Has a great turn of foot off the mat and can shock the life out of these. Can smoke the pipe just behind the pace even if he doesn’t lead and will be very solid late. Big EW show. 

Race 12 No. 2 Zipping Chew 

Took too long to get into his work last time. Slow out and went around the field to charge home and run a good 2nd. If he can hold his spot early here, they won’t stop him tonight. Will go 30.60 with a clear run and that wins this easily. 

WENTWORTH PARK

Race 7 No. 6 Cumbria Days and No. 4 Embrace

A couple here that can run good races at a price. The 6 can be awkward but he’s got huge sections in him and if he gets into this early, will be hard to hold out. The 4 is racing so well and she can offset this draw. Top effort last week when a close up 3rd hitting the line and is flying for the camp. Clear run and she wins. 

Race 10 No. 8 External Link

Former Vic dog who looks ready to break through here. Can unleash a nice turn of foot and while his box 8 stats are not great, he has excuses and was in some decent races when coming from this draw. Has a good form line. Hard to beat. 

STATE FINALS OF THE NATIONAL SPRINT AND DISTANCE

Let’s take a look at all 12 state finals for this year’s Nationals series. Some superb racing and a few good betting opportunities with TABtouch.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Race 1 – Distance Final (715m)

Not a vintage field by any means and a few dogs that are not really genuine stayers. This favourite in 4, Tsar Bell, is a genuine stayer and that’s what stands him out here. In rare form, he’s taken the WA staying scene by the neck in recent times and is clearly the dog to beat. Can be clumsy on occasion and the draw is slightly sticky but he has all the tools to get into any race from any spot. The one they all have to hold out. The 3 Danielle Keeping is very dour and can also stay but she gets a long way back. Will be running on hard here. 2,5,6,7 all go forward but all have question marks over their last sections at this trip. The 8 Over Zealous is the smoky for a place at huge odds while the 1 is highly enigmatic but his best would blow these off the track and he is resuming. Nice race but Tsar Bell looks the one. 

4-8-3-5

Bet: No bets

Race 2 – Sprint Final (520m)

One of the most electric fields ever assembled for a state final in WA. Every dog can win, every dog a star in their own right. The draw has made it even more interesting. I’ve long earmarked the 6 Throttle as the next big thing. Well he gets his chance to step up and flex that powerhouse frame of his in this elite field. Draw perfect for mine and only has to step to be afforded a clear run early with what’s around him. Can melt the clock to liquid when he is left to the arm and is brilliant in traffic. Give him room, watch him set this place ablaze. The 8 Jimmy’s Decision is a crazy price for a dog who ran home quickest on his heat. Boxed where he wants to be, he will charge home with any luck and hit the podium. The 1 Vice Grip, what a warrior!! You try and beat him, he just beats you back, and smiles while he does it. Can inflict the sword to these quickly if he steps off the gun draw and while he is only 2nd up, can never ever be discounted. 7 will improve this week, 3 is a gun who has a tricky draw while 2,4,5 will find it tough off their boxes with what’s around them but can all go well with any luck. Wonderful race and all I know is whoever wins it, wont be going to Wentworth Park for the scenery. They will turn up ready to shake the life out of the National final, whoever represents the West. 

6-8-1-7

Bets: No. 6 Throttle (EW), No. 8 Jimmy’s Decision (Place Heavy)

NEW SOUTH WALES

Race 5 – Distance Final (720m)

Quality stayers going around here for the NSW edition. The 4 Cawbourne Magic, 7 Super Estrella, 1 Tiger Jack and 3 Zipping Kansas all have big claims. The 7 goes fast and she is very hard to run down on the arm. Needs to step. The 4 is getting better every week and if he offsets the box, will be there the whole way. 1 has his draw and will be prominent but needs to punch up while the 3 is simply too enigmatic around this circuit. The 6 Stagger Out Lee is the smokie who can do something at odds and is racing well. The 4 goes on top though. He looks ready to produce and only has to come out running. 

4-7-1-6

Bets: No. 4 Cawbourne Magic (EW) No. 6 Stagger Out Lee (small place heavy spec)

Race 6 – Sprint Final (520m) 

The best NSW sprinters all line up here with the exception of She’s a Pearl. The 8 Good Odds Cash is well drawn here and she can spear down the outside to be a force. Goes well off the outside and runs time. The 2 Zipping Maserati is boxed to drive up hard here and he’s racing well. The 1 Simply Limelight is a smart up-and-coming type who is ready to peak and is boxed to be there while the 5 Bandit Ned and 6 Father Rick both have some claims with the right runs. 

8–1-6-5

Bets: No. 8 Good Odds Cash (EW) and No. 6 Father Rick (small EW spec)

QUEENSLAND

Race 5 – Distance Final (710m)

Two-dog race for the Sunshine State’s stayers. The 8 Oh Oh Range should go forward and take up the running. He didn’t win by far last start over 600m when taking over early which is a concern with his fitness. He should go close to leading though. It then becomes a matter of how close the 2 Days of Thunder is. She has a paralysing finishing burst in her races while the 8 runs time up on the arm. They should fight this out with clear runs. The 5 Dundee Ember will run on strongly and can nab a place here with any luck. She will be loving this set up. The small field does not suit the rest. 

2-5-8

Bets: No. 5 Dundee Ember (small EW go to run 2nd) and Box up 2,5,8 in exotics.

Race 6 – Sprint Final (520m)

Well the young gun went down last week but don’t let that bother you too much. The 5 Shipwreck is the real deal. Just looked a fraction flat in his heat after a breathtaking 29.3 win at Wentworth Park the week prior. Will have had a nice freshen up at home and only bad luck stops him winning. He must step better however. The 4 Power Moves and 6 Impact are both genuine threats and great competitors. 7 goes fast early while 1 and 2 have super draws to get into this. The 5 wins with any luck at all though.

5-6-4-1

Bets: No. 5 Shipwreck (win)

TASMANIA

Race 5 – Distance Final (720m)

Little is known about the 4 runners going around for Tassie’s distance. 4, 6, 8 all have trip experience, have raced each other and have finished within a very close margin of each other while the fav in 1 has yet be tested over this trip but is coming off two huge wins over the 600m trip. With just the 4 runners and all 4 being some chance and no standout, we will just watch and enjoy this edition of Tasmania’s distance final. 

8-1-4-6

Bets: No bets

Race 6 – Sprint Final (515m)

After last weeks heats, how do they beat McInerney?? They don’t if he reproduces that effort again. Drove up hard and put them away with a scintillating 29.41 to extend his record here to 5 from 6 track and trip. Should justify the short quote. The 4 Just Posh was a good winner in 29.66 and is the danger if any while 1, 7, 8 can all get into the placings. Fav looks home off a gun draw. 

2-4-8-1

Bets: No bets

VICTORIA

Race 7 – Distance Final (715m)

Very open state final here with a few hopes. The 3 Jarick Bale is well boxed and he is always hard to roll. Can lead or come from back and is racing so well. Clearly the one to beat. The 4 Moraine Suzie is an up and coming stayer who can surprise here and she is getting stronger each week. 1, 5, 8 all go forward and stick and can be hard to catch while the 6 is enigmatic but good. Plenty of hopes but the 3 will be there at both ends, while the 4 will run a race here. 

3-4-5-6

Bets: No. 4 Moraine Suzie (EW)

Race 8 – Sprint Final (515m)

Super field of sprinters here. The 1 Zippy Tesla gets a plum draw with the 2 Dusty Bourbski wanting a right step at box rise. He gets every chance here and was huge last week. The 3 Photo Man can go well but needs to miss the 2 early while the 8 Kinrock Star will love his draw with a fence-crasher inside him. 4, 5, 6, 7 all need the arm to win here but while all will show pace, the red just gets the right run though. The 8 the knockout. 

1-8-3-2

Bets: No. 1 Zippy Tesla (win) and No. 8 Kinrock Star (place heavy EW)

SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Race 4 – Distance Final (730m)

May only be a 5 dog field but the 1 Fantastic Radley has a stranglehold on this. In sublime form, he is the premier stayer in SA and drawn to deliver another clinic that replicates last weeks demolition. Has the tactical speed and strength to put these away and only bad luck beats him. Even lot behind him with several different options capable of unfolding for exotics. The 1 looks a standout 

1-8-2-4

Bets: No bets 

Race 6 – Sprint Final (530m)

A lot more open for the sprinters. The 1 Came and Went will look to lead but he must if he is to win. There is a possibility he doesn’t with speed in 2 and out wide. The 7 Shall Not will also go fast here and can lead. He runs a nice straight but wide line as well so won’t chop down. His last section can be testing but he will give a sight. As will the 6 Fly for Trix who had no luck last week but stuck on well. That’s where we look for this final. The 6 can run a great race at odds and track into this nicely with a clean step and the room to move off the 7. The run-ons will be 3 and 8 but not sure they can give the start they will here. 

6-7-8-2

Bets: No. 6 Fly for Trix (EW) and No. 7 Shall Not (EW)
