I agree on Brooke's Club, but what about that horse Perana

from the way things have been going, it doesnt seem like mdk has his horses cherry ripe after a layoff as he usually does, i'd be firing City of Bells

1) Gem of Dubai(Best of the raced runners, many first timers with not much support, best exacta 10 x 1)
2) Brooks-Club(Seemed to need last run, ran on well, standside track will suit, only danger B, best swinger 1,5)
3) Cochineal(Using Video Games as a line horse, C should have the measure of the other top 2 in the market)
4) All The Ones(Ran on nicely from a long way back, was green, will enjoy extra furlong, natural improvement)
5) The King And I(Went with this over BZ only because Marcus has the ride for the 3rd time, could not separate thou)
6) Jade Bay(Got beat by top sort last time, only danger RK, possibly better value places on RK than JB win)
7) Wells-Cargo(My Value Bet on the card at 20/1)
City Of Bells(Best Place bet on the card, strong win chance)
9) Mercurial Brave(Form franked, highly rated, could get beat, but by anything if that happens)

Distictly has improves miles - will be in the exacta

Race 1- could be a tricky race if any of the first timers have ability no betting sport for any yet, magners two are well bred, but i have to go with gem of dubai to make the natural improvement and finish ahead of flying finish.

Race 2- on ratings brooks club should win this easily but baracah could be a different horse after the gelding but with the turn around in weights going for brooks club.

Race 3- i like cochineal to run a big race over here maybe a touch short but fancied.

Race 4- all the ones finished well last time and prefer it over distinctly.

Race 5- im going for baron zemo but the king and i should improve with the blinkers hard to choose between the two.

Race 6- jade bay banker in all plays

Race 7- im going for dreamy times here at 7 to 1 decent price, dichotomo the danger.

Race 8- tricky race perana coming off a long break, city of bells bit inconsistent, paschal moon filly, going to side with perana.

Race 9- mercurial brave banker looks to be a star in the making.

Good luck to all.

Everybody and his dog will be banking Jade Bay and Mercurial Brave today - being the eternal optimist I will take an addtional small perm looking to beat both (tu)

They are racing on the Inside Track?

I think the danger to Brooks Club is Approachable - obviously something not right in his last run.

Some other roughies to consider:

Let's Rock Baba in the 6th - is a winner over this trip - has come down in ratings and has Muzi and a good draw, Cohiba in the same race is 6.5kgs better of with Jade Bay and less that 3 lengths separated them behind Lockheed Jetstar

As mentioned by JD on USO, Henry Higgins looks very well handicapped in the 7th.

Paintyourface to place in the 9th - especially if the track is soft

Enjoy (tu)

R3 6 MISS STINGRAY
R4 2 DISTINCTLY
R5 6 THE KING AND I
R6 1 MAJI MOTO
R7 1 VENTURE
R8 3 PERANA
R9 12 THEMBI
