Race 2: BEADMAN ran a far better race last time out for third at SP $17 and is a chance to run a place again today at $6.50.

Race 10: FREE SPIRIT scored an all the way win here last month then a fifth here last week, pretty sure she wants a wetter track, so ew today for her with Hazel onboard.

Race 5: FOX SPIRIT was subject to the Warren abandonment couple of days back, but goes again today. Had two runs back after a break but shown nothing, her only glimpse of form being a win at Gilgandra in July over a 800m dash, so it’s hard to make a real case for her, so it’s a small interest bet today, include in exotics though at $41…

PAKENHAM

Race 7: We fully expected NIGHT HUSSLER to run in the frame last time out, but she could only manage fifth. Poy stick and back in grade she’s a real threat today after her win at this grade two back.

BET: 5 units ew

PENOLA

Race 4: YOUNG JIMMY cleared maiden ranks in his second run with a nice win at Naracoorte and can go on with it in this small field at $2.70

BET: 8 unit win

KILCOY

Race 7: ZOU ZOU KACANARKIS was spruiked up by the trainer before running a close second here last month, then ran a very poor last at Doomben last week. Worth another shot in this very open betting event at $5.
