The Hound Says:In the market on debut here a couple of weeks before finishing midfield after missing the kick and losing the compass on the corner. Suspect is capable. Wary.
MR. BARACK (4) first starter with no trial form. Brother to the promising Sargent Voight amongst others. Won't have to be a star to figure prominently here. SOLDIER'S BOLD (8) much better run when close up second here last week. Chance with a repeat. VENDETTA (2) slow early but sticks on ok with clear running early. Can sneak into a place.
CAPE LODGE (3) first starter with no trial form. Half sister to the good Rockford from her mum's first litter. In good hands, sure to be ready for this. KENTUCKY SHOWMAN (1) solid on debut before no luck last time out. Draws well, give another chance. FRED'S FLAME (4) tries hard and may find a spot early in this. Each way prospects tonight.
NANDO QUINN (6) first starter with no trial form. Littermate to the very slick Nando Flyer. Drawn tough but needs to go on top of everything on speculation. MERLIN JEWEL (4) another one on debut. No stars from her litter so far, respect in this though. LIVING SPIRIT (1) never in it on debut here. Drawn a lot better tonight though, each way
SHE HAS STYLE (4) has been good in two Albion Park outings since moving north from Vic. Draw isn't ideal but is going well and only needs to jump safely here. ROSETTA MISS (2) seldom wins but is super consistent and may be able to land close enough from the good draw. FEARLESS FERGIE (3 quickest dog in the race, just needs to show his best.
BAROMI ROSE (4) form of late has slipped slightly but is so much better than that and this field is perfect for her to rediscover her mojo. Should go close in this. MOJO ESPRESSO (1) slow early but very strong late and drawn to find a spot early. Include. DEB'S DESIRE (3) was certainly decent enough three back to be given an eachway chance in this.
KICK ONS (2) back in form last week leading throughout over the 331m here. Goes best from this box and the trip is perfect for him. Looks to be the one. SELENA GIRL (8) has the speed to burn across them early and look to go on with it. Each way. SPRITELY MAIDEN (5) awkward draw but if they leave him alone on the first five strides he can clear out
SUMMER'S MISSILE (1) has her paw firmly on the till off the back of really good efforts her last four outings. Could not be boxed better, poised to win again. DOUBLE ACE (4) still learning but has a serious motor and only needs to time the jump. SARGENT VOIGHT (6) good talent and loves a wide draw. Needs to go into all calculations tonight.
HOPE SURE CAN (7) and CLASSY ZORO (6) look to be the top two in this once again. Both have speed to burn and have a real love affair with this trip winning 14 from 21 and 27 from 60 respectively. Both are very classy, cannot possibly split them. NANDO FLYER (2) and MR DENZEL (1) up and comers with a good future. Either could knock them off.
MARTENELLI (4) is going super winning his last two over this trip in decent time. Only needs to overcome the middle draw to make it three on the bounce. TUTA BYE BYE (7) also racing in good nick. Likes a wide draw and looks to be one of the main threats. TEDDY'S ISSUE (8) debuts over the 331m. Has good early speed and the box should be ok.
COSMIC COLIN (8) racing in rare form chasing his seventh win on the bounce. Handles all draws and has plenty of early speed. The one to beat again. BLUE BIRD BEACH (1) promising pup having her first go over this trip and out of box one. In good hands, goes into everything. VEERAT (2) won nicely last time here. Only needs to repeat that effort.
EXTRA NANDO (7) has been racing in wonderfully consistent form of late. First got from a wide draw tonight and suspect that may play into his hands. Hard to toss. NALA'S ISSUE (8) can find trouble in her races but is talented and will be strong late. RINGBARK CUTIE (2) drawn a treat to land near the early speed and look to get over the top late.
TRACY'S SHADOW (8) back to the 331m off the back of a good 395m run. Hasn't won form this box in eight tries but is better than that and needs to go into everything. ELLE KODA (2) continues to race in good touch. Drawn well near the rails, main threat in this. WENDY SURE CAN (1) fitter fomo last week's first up run. Draws her box, can get the cash.
