Will Norman
BACK: 9. Lexus Lou (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $3.00)
Lexus Lou was terrific last week sprinting his last 400 in 26.26 when a fast finishing 2nd to Shes A Warrawee. Think this race is no tougher and he should be very hard to hold out if he can repeat his last start effort.

RACE 1 | TOP 4 SELECTIONS
4. Tunbridge
7. Last Clansman
2. Speaks Volumes
3. Hard Rock Angel
Betting Strategy
Little confidence here. Tunbridge brings a different form line to most runners after winning at Geelong last start. Last Clansman drops back to 55 grade today and must be respected.

9. Rakero Blaze
3. Valley Star
5. Should Beabarca
6. Affaire De Cover
Betting Strategy
BACK: 9. Rakero Blaze (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $2.50)
Rakero Blaze drops right back in grade for today’s race. Think she can be driven quietly from the wide draw and finish over the top of them.
RACE 3 | TOP 4 SELECTIONS
1. Sapphiresndiamonds
3. Sharjah
8. Longtan Viper
2. Mickey Be Nimble
Betting Strategy
Looks to be a number of chances here. Sapphiresndiamonds drops back to 45 grade and gets the draw to have every chance. Sharjah is an interesting runner on debut for Steph Morris and looked to have good ability when winning a recent Menangle trial

6. Parallel
2. Caribbean Runa
8. Dancing With My Ex
1. Playful Miss
Betting Strategy
BACK: 6. Parallel (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $4.00)
Parallel drops back to 45 grade today for the 1st time. Comes out of a decent race at Penrith where he chased well to finish 3rd. Think he will be driven quietly today with the likelihood of good early pressure and can finish over them late.

6. Ripstone Snorter
4. Ima Sweet Torque

8. Birdy Gal
Betting Strategy
BACK: 6. Ripstone Snorter (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $4.00)
Ripstone Snorter doesn’t win out of turn but looks to have found a suitable race today. Likely to good pressure early here and if he can find the right trail into the race, he should be hard to hold out.
