Best Bets
Jaycin Campbell
BACK: 8. More Than Money (WIN) for 3 units (Rated at $2.00)
Appears to be a race in two between Kia Kaha and More Than Money. Happy to side with More Than Money off the map. He has flown from wide draws in recent times and should get a lovely cart into the race from Bear’s Bullet who will cut and run. Expect More Than Money to be too sharp down the back straight.
back
Jaycin Campbell
LAY: 1. Coffee Blast (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $5.00)
Coffee Blast began slowly from box four last week and wanted to run off on the first turn badly. Drawn poorly in box one with a good beginner directly outside him. Expect Coffee Blast to be crossed early and run off under pressure costing himself any conceivable winning chance.

6. Weather Report
3. Say When Glen
1. Trunkey Doll
2. Florida Flash
Betting Strategy
Weather Report has placed in his last two starts over this track and trip. The vacant inside box will help as well as a fast railer in box four.
Say When Glen had no luck last week when being well supported in betting. Won three starts ago in slick time over this track and trip.
Trunkey Doll will get back and finish off once again.
3. Canya Outlaw
8. Scud
6. Barefoot Elsa
2. Akela Kung Fu
Betting Strategy
Tricky contest with numerous winning chances. Banking on Canya Outlaw to fly the lids, find the lead and escape all potential trouble. There’s plenty of dogs entered in this contest with strong tendencies to crash or run wide. Expecting this race to be messy.
8. More Than Money
4. Kia Kaha
2. Comedy Act
6. Bear’s Bullet

1. Coffee Blast

LAY: 1. Coffee Blast (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $5.00)
Coffee Blast began slowly from box four last week and wanted to run off on the first turn badly. Drawn poorly in box one with a good beginner directly outside him. Expect Coffee Blast to be crossed early and run off under pressure costing himself any conceivable winning chance.
4. Royal Travis
6. Tagovailoa
2. Mean Girl
8. Apollo’s Sun
Betting Strategy
Royal Travis was superb last start winning by almost eight lengths in BON 29.79. A similar effort should see him extremely hard to beat.
Tagovailoa drops in distance as well as grade. Will require luck early. Can run home strongly.
Mean Girl is consistent over this track and trip. Can begin well and put herself in the firing line early.
6. Daysea’s Rory
4. Travis’s Scrub
5. Mustang Hayze
3. Extreme Tension
Betting Strategy
BACK: 6. Daysea’s Rory (WIN) for 3 units (Rated at $2.00)
Daysea’s Rory returned to winning form last week leading all of the way to score in 30.03 which was just a tick outside BON honours. He maps quite well with speed underneath him and a noted wide runner directly outside. Expect him to hold his line entering the first turn, land in the first three and prove too strong late.
1. Autumn Storm
2. Maid In Space
5. Big Boy Bentley
4. Daysea’s Chief
Betting Strategy
Autumn Storm will appreciate lining up in a race without Nangar Gypsy for the first time in three weeks. Box one is the only concern but she can offset her tendency to hold her line with a quick beginning. Could only side her way in this race.
7. Black Silencer
6. Valpolicella
4. Irish Millie
3. Ace’s Chance
Betting Strategy
Strong feature staying contest with numerous winning chances.
No doubt Black Silencer will improve with this run; however, everything Tom Tzouvelis touches turns to gold. Will enjoy getting back to the 710m as well as the large stretches of Albion Park.
Valpolicella has been really dour in her last two starts. Will appreciate any bunching in-front which could see her finish over the top.
Irish Millie was well supported in her return to QLD last week when just missing out. Aiming to go one better.
7. Smooth Plane
2. Blue Kermaro
6. Lakeview Emily
3. La Sagrada
Betting Strategy
BACK: 7. Smooth Plane (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $3.00)
Smooth Plane was the fastest qualifier last week in arguably the worst conditions of all four heats. The two out style certainly suits his racing. Goods Odds Cobber has never been a “known” railer which should allow him the space to kick up underneath, lead and run some serious time.
2. Phantom Jasper
8. Mumma’s Brew
3. Bogie Dominator
1. Jewel Bee
Betting Strategy
Phantom Jasper will appreciate rising in distance and returning to Albion Park where he has a fair record. Drawn favourably.
Mumma’s Brew is always competitive in this fixture and has struck quite a weak one at that.
Bogie Dominator is flying. Has won four of his last five at Ipswich. Time to translate that form to Albion Park.
