RACE 1 – CATALANO TRUCK & EQUIPMENT PACE
- Gary Hall Jnr (BETTOR FINISH): “Place chance from the good draw.”
- Deni Roberts (HENWOOD BAY): “Would give them something to chase if he found the front but will have to assess this one off the arm.”
- Michael Brennan (MACHLANI): “Going great. Little bit tricky from the draw. Can still run first three.”
- Shannon Suvaljko (ZOZO MA GOGO): “Going okay. Head to the rails and rail up.”
- Nathan Turvey (HEAVENS SHOWGIRL): “Racing well. Just needs a smidge of luck.”

- Michael Brennan (VALBONNE): “Forget last start. Expect him to improve.”
RACE 2 – SIMMONDS STEEL FILLIES & MARES PACE
- Ross Olivieri (RUN FOR MERCY): “She’s quick out. We will try to lead and do our best.”
- Kyle Harper (SHEEZ OUR HOPE): “First-up but I think she’s the one to beat.”
- Greg Bond (SAGANO): “Each-way in an even race.”
- Corey Peterson (ADDA TARANTELLA): “Getting better each run but I don’t think tonight is her night.”

- Corey Peterson (SHANWAY): “Will be leading and will run a good race.”
- Ryan Warwick (LIGHTNING JOLT): “Consistent of late. Hope it continues.”
- Michael Young (MEDIEVAL MAN): “Races better when he’s on speed so I’m not against him breezing. Will leave it to Jnr.”
- Ross Olivieri (JIMMY MACK): “He’s in the right class and will be competitive. Was held up first-up. Been another horse that’s struggled with races falling over.”
- Emily Suvaljko (TALKERUP): “It’s not a bad field.”
- (DISCO UNDER FIRE): “
- Jocelyn Young (VERSTAPPEN): “Draw makes it tough for him. Still a few runs off his top.”

- Shannon Suvaljko (THE LAST DROP): “Bad draw. Will follow them around.”
- (THEREUGO): “
- Chris Voak (RABCHENKO): “He hasn’t raced for three weeks with races falling over. Going well but lacks match fitness.”

RACE 4 – MEMBERS SPRINT
- Justin Prentice (JACK FARTHING): “Was disappointing last week. Hard to get a read on it. Seems well in himself and it’s a good draw. Hopefully back to the horse I think he is.”
- Gary Hall Snr (ELOQUENT MACH): “Will drop straight on the back of the leader. Working really well.”
- Ross Olivieri (STROKE OF LUCK): “He won in 1.53 leading few back. He will run a good race. I think he’s better at the short course than 2500.”
- Gary Hall Snr (BALCATHERINE): “She’s working well. Will go forward out of the gate and see what happens. She’s tough. First-up so will leave it up to Junior.”
- Chris Voak (PERFECT MAJOR): “He will run a big race. Expect him to be top three. Look to get to the breeze.”
- Emily Suvaljko (BETTOR PARTY): “Looking to bounce back to a bit of form.”
- Matt Scott (ROCK ME OVER): “Up in class and a bad draw makes it hard.”
- Gary Hall Snr (WHOZIDEAWASTHIS): “Will go back and run home. If they go hard he can run a placing.
RACE 5 – THE PURE STEEL
- Greg Bond (PARMESAN): “Working very nicely since the first-up run. Top chance.”
- Ross Olivieri (THE LAST PARISIAN): “He’s a rough place chance. He will win one of these races at this this level but this is a hard race. He will have his work cut out.”
- Michael Young (PLUTONIUM): “Even race. Will press forward early and see what unfolds.”
- Gary Hall Snr (ALTA INTRIGUE): “He needed the run last week. Pulled up well. Improve a bit this week. Each-way chance and will go forward.”
- (WHOSWHOINTHEZOO): “
- Emily Suvaljko (JASPERVELLABEACH): “Is racing well but has a tricky draw to overcome.”
- Michael Grantham (THE VERANDAH): “Did enough to get the W last week. Once again, the draw isn’t in our favour.”
- Kyle Harper (BLISSFULLABBEY): “Tough draw.”
- Deni Roberts (IM SPIDERMAN): “I don’t think Spiderman will be saving the day here.”
- Chris Voak (FANCI A DANCE): “It’s the perfect draw. On best behaviour he should be in money.”
- Gary Hall Snr (ALTA BLUES): “He needs the run. I think he’s the best horse in the race. He will end up being a reasonable horse. Probably wins this if they go hard. More of a stayer. Working well.”
- Chris Lewis (CORDERO): “He’s an unlucky horse. Could set up okay for him here. Up to the class. Little bit of an awkward draw.”
RACE 6 – GPHR SPRINT
- (HAMPTON BANNER): SCRATCHED
- Chris Lewis (MIRRAGON): “Can run a big race. Won’t be far away at all. Will hold the lead.”
- Greg Bond (LAWRENCE): “Should get a nice trip and is a solid each-way chance.”
- Gary Hall Snr (SIR GALAHAD): “He’s working well. Not a great pacer. Place chance. Will look to slot in and get to the rail.”
- Gary Hall Jnr (CULPEKA): “Never got into the race first-up. Scratching is a big help. Major player.”
- Kyle Harper (SON OF A TIGER): “Unlucky last start. Wins it with clear running. Tough from the draw this week.”
- Gary Hall Snr (DIEGO): “Needs a barrier draw. Hard work from out there.”
- Justin Prentice (BACK IN TWENTY): “Good run last week but the draw hurts him here. Hard to see him figuring.”
RACE 7 – HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN PONTILLO TROT
- Nigel Johns (ALL FLAIR): “Very happy with her. Starting to really find the line. Short stand suits. Should run a very nice race.”
- (JAX OR BETTER) E1:
- (HAMMERS LAW): “
- Nigel Johns (ONE BID BUYS): “Racing a bit flat and it’s a tough field.”
- Chris Voak (MY MDINA): “She needs to be on his best behaviour at the start. With a safe beginning she can salute the judge.”
- (TOKYO JOE): “
- Chris Lewis (ON FAST FORWARD): “He’s going alright. Definitely a chance. Princess Mila is the favourite but she’d be a little iffy back there if she missed the start.”
- Michael Young (CHAMPAGNE PRINCE): “Usually steps well so should put himself in a good position. Short course stand is always a raffle but he’s each-way with luck.”
- Maddison Brown (TON TINE): “Racing really well. Usually steps well which should see him in the finish again.”
- Nigel Johns (DARK SECRET): “Racing very well. Will get back from the draw. Short stand doesn’t really suit but if there’s speed on front he will find the line hard at the finish.”
- (LIGHTNING CALDER): “
- Gary Hall Snr (PRINCESS MILA): “She’s working up well. She will run on. Hard to see her getting into the race off 40m.”
- Michael Grantham (TENNO SHO): “Off the 40m is hard over the short trip stand. He turns it into 20m on how good he steps. Think a few things are against him but the horse is airborne at the moment.”
RACE 8 – VALE JOE IEMMA PACE
- Gary Hall Snr (NOTA BENE DENARIO): “He’s an each-way chance. Hopefully he holds up. Going reasonably well.”
- (EXTREME PRINCE): “
- Stephen Reed (LORD ROSCO): “Not sure. Will leave it up to Dylan. 50/50 if we go forward or drive conservatively being 2500m.”
- Shannon Suvaljko (DEEORSE): “Racing well but needs luck with the difficult draw.”
- Michael Young (VESPA): “Racing well. Will win when he draws a barrier. Will go back and be finding the line late.”
- Matt Scott (QTOWN RIP ROARING): “Bad draw and will need luck.”
- Chris Voak (MAKOCZAR): “The draw kills but is going well.
RACE 9 – ETCH COATINGS PACE
- Deni Roberts (EUPHORIC MOMENT): “Looks his race to lose.”
- Luke Woodworth (BEE SEVENTEEN): “Felt the best he has for a long time last week. Back to the 2500 here which he loves. Expecting him to be right in the thick of things at the end.”
- (ROCKNROLL WHITBY): “
- Jocelyn Young (PIERRE WHITBY): “Distance suits. Won’t be far away.”
- Matt Scott (C C CHEVRON): “Bad draw and will need luck.”
- Emily Suvaljko (BETTYS LASS): “Even field but has a tricky draw to overcome.”
- Chris Voak (SMART FORTUNE): “Another bad draw. Last week’s run was super. Can still play a part.”
