Doomben Race 5 (2.18pm)
5 Bentyaga ($9)
NZ visitor on a winter sojourn with the Tony Pike stable. Sound enough fresh at the Sunshine Coast but fitter now. May need one more run but is excellent each-way value.

Strathalbyn Race 5 (3.35pm)
2 The Partisan ($2.30)
Nice type who has finished in the quinella in four of five. Won before a spell by 2.4L and then bolted in at a Murray Bridge trial leading into this. Looks a very good bet at black odds.

Belmont Race 3 (3.49pm)
2 Capo Veloce ($2.90)
Quality debut win at Pinjarra and then ran an excellent race in town. Drawn the one alley so should get the gun run. Looks mighty hard to beat.

Warwick Farm Race 7 (4.20pm)
5 Baltic Coast ($3.00)
Import now with the Kris Lees stable who has not lost in two Australian runs. Won a maiden in Newcastle before an open trial win with his last start a very impressive run-on victory at Scone. In-form hoop in the saddle.

Warwick Farm Race 5 (3.10pm)
Quinella 1,9
No.9 Finepoint is the well-fancied favourite and should improve with J-Mac in the saddle. No.1 Imrahor is a UK import on his local debut here and a repeat of his UK form will see him right in the mix.
