BACK: 3. Strikem (WIN) for 4 units (Rated at $1.50)
DERBY/OAKS CONSOLATION 2680m:
Former Kiwi Strikem was unbelievable in the Derby Qualifier, making a mid race move and hitting the line strongly in a 1.53 middle trip effort behind Hestitate. Clearly the horse to beat tonight, especially considering he has won over the trip before.

1. Jordy

10. Rocket City
2. Skylord
Betting Strategy
AYDC Band 5 Mile:
Final Heat of the AYDC where James Herbertson has dominated the series.
Jordy was huge here on Tuesday when participating in one of the fastest lead times in history. Does that run flatten him a touch tonight? Chloe Butler takes the drive for QLD.
Kuzma is little sit sprinter that is racing in fine form, from the perfect draw its hard to see him missing a place. Emily Suvaljko takes the drive for WA.
Rocket City is a horse I own a share in, he has been set for this race but the back row draw really hurts his winning chances. Bernadette Page takes the drive for SA.
RACE 2 | SELECTIONS
9. The Janitor
12. Attachment
4. Glitter Aint Gold
1. Major Hot
Betting Strategy
BACK: 12. Attachment (PLACE) for 1 unit (Rated at $5.00)
4YO CHAMPIONSHIP 2138m:
Really deep edition of the 4YO Championship.
The Janitor will jump a worthy favourite and deserves a victory this carnival.
Stablemate Attachment is airborne, with the right cart into the race he can storm home into a placings at a big price.

BACK: 11. Nyack (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $4.00)
ID25 PACERS CONSOLATION 2680m:
Deep consolation with numerous winning hopes.
Nyack was stiff to miss a start in the Grand Final, he looks the testing material in this field and should jump a worthy favourite for James Rattray.

3. Mac Bon
Betting Strategy
BACK: 1. Hestitate (WIN) for 3 units (Rated at $2.20)
QLD DERBY 2680m:
Sensational edition of the Derby.
Hestitate now with Luke McCarthy is fulfilling his potential, the Derby Qualifier win was top shelf – 1.53 over the 2138m. Does he hold or take cover over the long trip? Either way from the good gate he looks a player.
Rubira – was very keen to be with this horse if he drew a gate, the bad barrier looks difficult to overcome but I rate him highly.
Jacks Ultimate Fury – lovely horse with a great record, the 3rd in The Rising Sun will hold him in good stead.
LAY: Fate Awaits (PLACE) for 1 unit (Rated at $2.00)
Fate Awaits draws the back row so no pegs trip for him tonight, small query over the staying trip for mine as well.
RACE 6 | SELECTIONS
2. Eye Keeping Smiling
4. Steno
1. Tay Tay
8. Lux Aeterna
Betting Strategy
BACK: 4. Steno (WIN) for 1 unit (Rated at $5.00)
THE GOLDEN GIRL MILE:
The glamour girl of Australian Harness Racing – Eye Keep Smiling will jump a clear and worthy favourite, she has however come up very short in early markets.
Steno – if she can cross expect her to run a mighty race for Jocelyn Young. She has gone very close to beating Eye Keep Smiling on multiple occasions
BACK: 1. Tay Tay (WIN) for 1 unit (Rated at $6.00) THE GOLDEN GIRL MILE:
Tay Tay – finally draws a marble and she appears to be racing in good heart. Leading or in the trail she can be a threat.

ID25 TROTTERS FINAL 2680m:
What a Trotters Final!!
Amazing depth to this field with at least 5 or 6 winning hopes on paper, and perhaps the list doesn’t end there.
Gus – love this little bloke, to my eye he has had a near perfect prep. If he gets the right race shape / tempo he can be storming home into the top 3.
Oscar Bonavena – all class this kiwi who can count himself lucky to make the final. He can definitely take the crown.
Arcee Phoenix – worthy favourite who looks to be peaking, if able to lead they might not be able to get past him.
Bet N Win – looking for a clean sweep of the series, his winning hopes will soar if able to spear over to the markerline.

BACK: 9. Captains Knock (PLACE) for 3 units (Rated at $2.50)
ID25 PACERS GRAND FINAL:
The moment we have all been waiting for has finally arrived, can Leap To Fame add a second Interdominion crown and become the richest earning pacer in Australasian history?
Leap To Fame – running out of words to describe this horse, suspect tonight we get a performance worthy of a champion. Quietly confident he can hustle through and lead at the start, regardless he can muscle into clear air early and take control.
Captains Knock – will draw inside the back row if the emergency comes out, had a super series and a pegs trip awaits. The early fixed place price has been a spoil.

But what about the others trailing behind them? If you place a lay bet in a “Win” market, you can celebrate if the runner tails off at the back of the field.
