Comments: 1/14 for June so believing in an improvement is obviously an article of faith! Three meetings abandoned today. I cannot remember that ever happening before. Belmont 6-3 Beat The Storm seems an appropriate selection given how the weather is around the place. He's parked just behind them at his last two and come with strong runs to win clearly. From the inside gate he should get a perfect run and I'd declare him a special except for the way we're going. Morphettville 6-7 Saratoga Demon has won a couple in a row so connections have decided to sneak him into the city. This is not much of a race so he should be a good chance. Swan Hill 6-5 Kenbest looks well placed first up in this race. He was narrowly beaten in a similar event first up last time and should be nice e/w odds today. Swan Hill 10-2 Brungle Pride goes OK and seems pretty well placed here, also. He's been up for a long time but always seems to put in solid performances so he should go close.

Black Book: I commented last time that Belmont 2-1 Chachi would have been improved by a spell and that turned out to be correct when he won powerfully first up. He looks like one of those WA horses that end up with 5 wins from 10 starts so we can keep following.
