THOROUGHBREDS
Goulburn: Race 3; #2 Star Diesel 
Star Diesel will likely have some work to do in this run as he generally likes to get back and run on. He is 1st up into this race and with a big weight on his back it presents as a potentially tough run. If he does find himself back in the field he may be wanting for luck late looking for a run. Taking him on based on the race map.
Geelong: Race 3; #1 Dusty's Deel
Dusty's Deel has been well supported in the market at both career starts off the back of some impressive jumpout work prior to his debut. He has lacked substance in both runs, getting away from the home track is a negative and the trainer hasn't had a winner in 695 days.
GREYHOUNDS
Wentworth Park: Race 4; #1 Especially Rare
A masters race for the oldies and there's no doubt in my mind the 1 is the best greyhound in the race. A clear run and she's too good for them however, she is a very wide runner and box 1 does not suit. At the short quote she's worth a lay ticket
Wentworth Park: Race 6; #1 Zipping Bonucci
Taking on the 1 here. I know he's never seen the inside but he looks too short in a race where there's good early speed. I think he might get buried too far back and be giving them too big of a start.
Wentworth Park: Race 9; #1 Zipping Kimble
4 looks to lead which gives the 7 a cart into the race. 8 might get a clear run into the race. 1 could get too far back and looks short in the market. Happy to risk.
Geelong: Race 7; #1 Barbie Zeal
Barbie Zeal makes here Victorian debut here and this is a race with plenty of early pressure. Chasing Hearts, Paltrow Bale, Avianna and Augustus Finch will all be pouring on the pressure in the early stages. She hasn't raced in 6 weeks so this is a hot initiation and she will need to be at her best to win this so I'm happy to be against and barrack for the rest.
HARNESS
No doubt this mare has loads of talent but can be very risky in the score up so first up against some quality in form opposition i am willing to be against her.
