(* Any updates later on - UPDATED *)

Comments: Doomben 4-5 Morning Colours is really well placed here after stringing together three in a row. The only danger looks to be 11-Yass River. Belmont 8-3 Banner Storm has an 8:5-1-2 record at this track and 4:3-1-0 record at this course. He only has a couple of kilos over the limit after the claim and he looks the goods in this. Murtoa 7-5 Pressure's On ran well enough first up to suggest he has a chance here. Might be a quinella for the Weir stable.

Black Book: Cheltenham 9-6 Allsons went into the BB at his first start and delivered an immediate result next time out. He is still learning what it's all about and if he can get around this tight track then he'll just about get home again. Gold Coast 8-7 Ironside returned from a spell and flopped badly last time. If he does that again then he'll be removed. Moonee Valley 2-2 Grand Duels is another that has been good to us. He's drawn off the track in this so we'll find out how good he is if he can win handily. Moonee Valley 3-1 Hasta Manana can't handle the really heavy tracks and even though MV is not as bad as others when it's wet he probably won't be winning today. The $4 on the morning line is way too short. Murtoa 4-3 Kelvoli will come out of the BB if he can't get home today. Newcastle 3-1 Cheekybynature showed a heap of speed to hold out the filly Behind first up before winning clearly with a huge gap back to 3rd. Behind went into the race as a $1.30 favourite after two placings in black type racings so the form is strong.
