THOROUGHBREDS
Rosehill: Race 9; #1 Briasa
Competitive race and while BRIASA rates highly in this field, he does appear to have a few things against him that may make it tricky. Firstly he is giving away a large weight to rivals and from the wide barrier he may get caught out wide which will make for a tough run. He does have a good record 1st up but feel it will take a big effort to win this if he is caught out wide in the run
Caulfield: Race 5; #8 Verdoux
Swimming against the tide here with Verdoux, who has been very well supported in early markets and map positive, race fit and claiming under the minimum, it wouldn't be surprised if that support keeps coming. Looking at the race shapes he has won in, they have all been even to fast races and he has been able to sprint well enough off those tempos. I'm predicting this to be a slow speed and he doesn't actually have a slick last 400m off a slow tempo versus the likes of King Zephyr, who may be better at 1400m but has shown he can sprint very sharply off a slow speed and should be right there from gate one.
HARNESS
Albion Park: Race 3; #7 Soap Opera
Horrible gate for Soap Opera over the mile, happy to be against.
