Comments: Grand Cause got us off to a bad start at Randwick when never really looking likely in the small field as an odds on favourite and finishing 3rd. Secret Cause then made it a bad day for the xxxx-Cause named horses by running 4th as a $3.90 favourite at Seymour in a weak display. Back To Destroy then started ridiculously short and didn't justify his odds when 2nd. Diplomatic Force ran well but finished 3rd at Caulfield as our 4th favourite in a row. City Of Soul finished off our selections for the day by going like last week's pay for 850m. Unfortunately, it was a 1000m event and she weakened to finish dead last leaving our selections with a frustrating 34230 formline for the day. Gunnedah 4-4 Bizante has been consistent in his career with one win and seven placings from 14 starts. He's drawn well and has Greg Ryan on board so should go close.

Black book: Sale 6-3 Blazonry went into the BB with a note to assess her talent after her next start, as the fields she's met so far haven't been great but she has looked OK. She led, kicked away and went strongly to the line last time and looks a good chance here.
