Comments: Wet tracks everywhere other than over in the west, though it's raining over there so it could still be a clean sweep. Randwick 8-2 Keen Commander was never in doubt when leading throughout to win at Randwick last time out. He steps up in grade and distance in this but if there's a clear bias to front runners then he's going to look the winner at some stage. Toowoomba 4-3 Saint Angelo is going to be way too short to back at less than $4. A horse like Thistooshallpass, who's 4/4 at the track, looks really well placed. Toowoomba 5-3 Moonlight Lily made it three on the trot at Ipwich before an even run at Doomben when not beaten far as favourite. Looks well suited in this race and anything over $3.50 is good value.



Black Book: Cheltenham 4-2 Grand Duels won really impressively at Cheltenham before running a good 2nd in Melbourne in a strong field. Should go close in this. Sandown 4-4 Mazzacano has been terrific for us at short odds and looks like a winner again. Sandown 5-3 Hasta Manana won't be suited on the heavy track but must still be a place chance. Sandown 8-2 Lucky Secret could be anything though he won't get things his own way today but will go around at $1.40 or so and should win again.
