PA 2,7/8/1,4,11/2/5,8,7/4,2,10/3,6,15,12

Corleone was the talk of the rooms yesterday. There are a few guys with trebles and quads from yesterday going into this one.

Race 7 - Luala @14/1 e/w. Two very good runs on this course recently, the last being in much strongest company and has a good chance in this field.

Race 8 - Cool Chardonnay @3/1. Very good comeback run and is much better in at the weights and should comfortably overturn the last runs result. Top draw and a bit more distance should do the trick here.

Race 9 - Mountain Master @7/1 e/w. Put a line through the last run with the soft conditions and this horse is value.Second behind Master Sabina from the widest draw is a serious run and a repeat of that run should see him in the winners enclosure. Cracked a good draw and should be competitive.

DOUBLE RIDGE is my place and e/w bet of the day - holds a few on collateral form including Avenue if you use Anita as a line (Dream Logic is the horse I used there) - Has been running on and has been backed in two of her last three starts - Competent rider and will no doubt get Sage advice from Wrogermann on how to place this horse. 9/10 a 4 place and easy 7's for the win.

R1 I concur with Mr H, DOUBLE RIDGE
R3 Corleoni
R4 KOSTYA ZU. Confidential Agent for the exacta.
R5 DANIELLE. Lavender Girl a possible e/w.
R6 Lockheed Jetstar
R7 Modern Muse could well win with a little in hand, good come back run and drawn 1. But, I'll chance an idiot or two. I was on Luala lto and is not without a chance here imo but I suspect that she might have a preference for easier going. My main pick is Casual. On 3rd run after a rest and should prefer the step up in distance. Can find plenty excuses for some of the runs... sand, blinkers, distances etc but has a good draw here and has been competitive against stronger fields than this. Olympic Goal is another not to be left out imo, decent effort in penultimate and may have been too far lto.
R8 More open than the current betting suggests imo so, looking for value against the two market leaders, I landed on Waikato. Fair effort under this appie from a wide draw when returning from a short break lto and likely to prefer the step up in distance, drawn wide again is a negative but likely to go better than 25/1 would indicate. Microstate and Paintyourface are two others who could well pop up and Flight Warning will get the R1 e/w investment.
R9 MOUNTAIN MASTER
R10 Not many proven over the distance, I'll try a tentative e/w on Dance Kid

The four in capitals will form an e/w yankee

Be(s)t of luck to all

I am waiting to close a multiple on Corleoni. .My play for today is Kostya Zu X Lockheed Jetstar.

BEACH IN A BOTTLE like the debut will run well from a good draw and always trying rider
LITTLE OKE - second day a school and was only 2.5 lengths behind Trip Kings on debut. Scope to improve and I would include in quartets
KAROO BREEZE - full sister to CHEKILI who won 4 in a row so could easily follow up on debut victory.
BOUCLETTE TOP
CASUAL include in quartets - Might be worth a fixed 4 place
KINGMAMBOS LEGACY - will side with him because of my bias towards Ideal World - Should enjoy this trip.
MOUNTAIN MASTER massive runner a strong fixed 4 place
ROCKY STALLONE c/d winner from 1 attempt- can place at 4-1 fixed and should be included in quartets with Danielson up
