THOROUGHBREDS
Hawkesbury: Race 4; #1 Cryptonic 
CRYPTONIC did run well on debut here to run into 2nd, but the query I have here today is his race map from the wide barrier. There is speed in the race and he looks a danger of getting caught out wide which in only his 2nd career start could make his run tough.
Ipswich: Race 6; #2 Diablo Bolt
The top two in betting look hardest to beat and I would be surprised if one of them did not win this race. Therefore, I am happy to risk the horse currently on the third line of betting – jockey Dan Mc Gillivray has a low recent winning strike rate of just 6% his last 50 (10% throughout his career).
Pakenham: Race 1; #4 Dream All Day
Laying Dream All Day at the odds on quote. Her debut run here was terrific on the clock, rating nearly 2L better than the average winning standard of this race, however I thought she tracked up like the winner and was plain late, I don't like the step up in trip for her and there are two worthy challengers.
GREYHOUNDS
Weeona Star drops back in distance here but looks very well drawn off the red and should find this easier than recent starts and is a vital cog in the wheel of getting Mahogany beaten. Mahogany has opened very short for a dog who is still learning the caper and can barrack for the rest of the field here.
HARNESS
Shepparton: Race 4; #9 Alpha Stride
This horse won in moderate company leading on a small track last time out & rises in class considerably from that win. Sure won't be leading here & will need some luck to beat these.
