(* Updates after midday today, as I'm out and about - UPDATED *)

Comments: Sandown 3-9 Running Riot marks the debut of newly introduced System 23. She drifted from 1/1 to 9/4 on debut when a good 3rd at this course nehind Miss Meerkat. She'll be improved and should run well. Belmont 3-1 Dance Across has been a beaten favourite at her last couple of runs but gets the chance to break back into the winner's circle in this. Should get a good run from the gate and does get to the line OK but given she's got convictions I'd want e/w odds. Belmont 4-1 Joey Jo Jo has been up for a little while but continues to race consistently. She'll either lead or be outside the leader in a race where there doesn't look to be a heap of pace so she'll get her chance in the straight to win.

Black Book: Sandown 1-2 Mazzacano whupped them at Warrnambool over hurdles and then repeated the dose over the bigger fences at Pakenham. Is unbeaten in three runs over jumps and looks likely to keep that record intact here. Belmont 2-2 Chachi won one and ran 3 seconds last time in. I noticed that he didn't really know what racing is all about and that once he'd had a spell he'd be even better. I get the chance to find out if I'm right today. Belmont 5-1 Campo Di Grano is only in the BB with a comment of "goes fast and can only just get 1000m" so he gets that today and has an unbeaten 2/2 first up record.
