Comments: We managed to get home a $6 winner yesterday, which was handy. Ballarat 7-6 Doin' Thehardyards got into the fast lane and flogged them at Cranbourne last time. This is a pretty even field and on the wet track it'll come down to who gets into the best ground first. I would want to see around $6 to get interested in this feller.


Black Book: Belmont 3-8 Cagey Lady settled down last, came deep, took over at the 200m mark and went to the post under a full Nelson to break her duck at Northam last time. The increase in trip suits again and she should go close again. Our old mate Belmont 5-1 Camp Di Grano flogged along in front and, instead of wilting like he has at his last few runs, kept going strongly to the line. He could do it again in this. Gawler 2-2 Allsons was very short in the market at his debut here three weeks ago. He settled just off the lead, made a move before the corner, ran around like a duck on the corner losing a heap of ground but picked up the bit really nicely to hit the line strongly behind a smart type. I'm happy to take $2.50.
