He is drawn inside his main rivals and will be hard to beat if he can force his way to the front. FESS UP (5) led throughout in quick time at his last start and will be hard to catch if he can cross at the start. IM THE BLACK FLASH (6) has a huge boom on him and has won three of his last four starts and looks the other winning chance. SORRIDERE (3) is drawn to be prominent throughout and won’t be far away. Tips: 4 5 6 3 Suggested Bet: STAR LAVRA (4) to win. Race 2 STAMFORD (10) faced the breeze when 3rd to WATTS UP SUNSHINE (3) at his last start and he will be charging home if he sees daylight at the right time from this draw. DOMINUS FACTUM (1) has the speed to lead if desired and should give a great sight. WATTS UP SUNSHINE (3) was an impressive all-the-way winner at his WA debut and must be respected but he may not find the front tonight. ELDAYTONA (4) over-raced and disappointed at his last start but can figure in the finish on his best form. Tips: 10 3 1 4 Suggested Bet: STAMFORD (10) to win. Race 3 GOODFELLAZ (7) has led throughout to win his last two starts in quick time and looks the one to beat again despite the awkward draw. GETN WIGGY WITHIT (1) doesn’t have the class of his main rivals but he did lead throughout here recently and he should give a great sight over the sprint trip. THE MIKI TAKER (6) would prefer it longer but he did run on well to finish 3rd to El Chema in 1.54.4 recently and is too good to overlook. IDEAL TOMADO (8) has won five of his six starts in WA but goes up in class tonight. Tips: 7 1 6 8 Suggested Bet: GOODFELLAZ (7) to win. Race 4 MEA CULPA (2) faced the breeze when a strong 2nd to The Mustang here last week and he will be very hard to beat if he can find the front in the early stages. ALTA RHETT (1) has been placed in ten of his last 15 starts and his gate speed gives him options at the start. EZANA (5) is a classy type who should be ready to show his best and looks a winning chance. CLASSIC CHOICE (8) is a strong customer but he will have to work in the run to overcome his wide draw. Tips: 2 1 5 8 Suggested Bet: MEA CULPA (2) to win. Race 5 BET THE HOUSE (1) couldn’t make up ground in a quick last quarter on debut but can be a sharp improver from the pole. ROCKNROLL TRAIN (2) was an impressive all-the-way winner on debut and must be considered from his nice draw. MANHATTAN MOON (5) has chased home the favourite at his last two starts and can turn the tables if the race is run to suit. BETTOR ARCADE (4) is a consistent type who won’t be far away. Tips: 1 2 5 4 Suggested Bet: BET THE HOUSE (1) each way. Race 6 TAKING THE MIKI (7) has won three of her four starts since resuming from a spell and looks the one to beat against her own sex. THREE RUMOURS (8) has been racing in stronger company and has handled the stand well in the past so looks the obvious danger. SIMPLY SHAZ (9) is giving her main rivals a head-start but looks the other main winning chance. JILL MACH (1) should lead or enjoy a soft run on the pegs and can improve. Tips: 7 8 9 1 Suggested Bet: TAKING THE MIKI (7) to win. Race 7 LAMANDIER (2) is an inconsistent customer who disappointed here last week but he would win this if he jumped to the front and displayed his best form. COOPER (6) was ordinary at his first run back from a spell but can improve sharply. CARABAO (8) has impressed with a win and 2nd from his two starts for a new stable and did win at his only attempt from the stand. ACUTO (9) found the front from his 10m handicap when defeating a similar field here last week and must be considered again. Tips: 2 6 8 9 Suggested Bet: LAMANDIER (2) to win. Race 8 EL CHEMA (5) won three in a row before over-racing in front at his last start. He will return to his preferred sit-sprint style tonight and is suited by the small field. JETT STAR (1) attempted to lead throughout when a 6m 2nd to EL CHEMA (5) here two starts back and he should give a great sight again. IMA FIVESTAR GENERAL (3) sprinted brilliantly to win here last week and will be dangerous if he gets the right run in transit. FASTER THAN DAD (4) goes up in class on his win here last week but his times indicate that he can figure again. Tips: 5 1 3 4 Suggested Bet: EL CHEMA (5) to win. Race 9 EIGHTEEN CARAT (1) led throughout here in solid time last week and looks the one to beat from the pole. FIREROCKFIREROLL (2) didn’t have much luck first up when finishing at the rear but will enjoy a better run here and should be right in the finish. MACHNIFICENT (5) couldn’t get into the race first-up but he has a sharp turn of foot and is suited by the small field. JASPERVELLABEACH (3) wasn’t sighted first-up but has good gate speed and may make things interesting in the early stages. Tips: 1 2 5 3 Suggested Bet: EIGHTEEN CARAT (1) to win. Race 10 BLUE BLAZER (1) has a losing sequence of 16 but he gets his chance to lead over the sprint distance and he should give a great sight. ONESMARTFELLA (7) is the class runner of the field and he will be charging home if there is a solid tempo. BETTORSTARTDREAMING (4) has been placed in four of his last five starts and loves the shorter trips. EUSTON FLYER (2) is drawn to get a soft run behind the speed and can be placed at odds. Tips: 1 7 4 2 Suggested Bet: BLUE BLAZER (1) to win. Market Market
