THOROUGHBREDS
Yarra Valley: Race 4; #5 Sophast 
Sophast is a bit short for me at even money, he is nearing a victory and is yet to miss a place in her five start career but will need to step well from the barriers to get across from the wide draw, with that risk i think being against her is a worthy gamble.
I was with him last time and he was beaten by a handy one in Ararat. The the concern going into that race was 1400m, and I don't think he ran it out. Now he has the carpark draw to contend with and has to step up to 1500m [which I don't think is suitable].
GREYHOUNDS
Albion Park: Race 1; #3 Hey Jack
Hey Jack has won two races on the bounce at Ipswich in moderate time. He lines up for his first start in the city and appears outclassed. There's good speed drawn out wide from Marquee Player and Raffa. He should get crossed early and will likely never play a factor in this contest.
