Comments: Ararat 8-5 Bolle has a good record at this trip and is pretty well in at the weights. The form of the field come from all over the place, which makes it a bit hard to line up but if e/w odds are available then he looks a safe bet. Bunbury 1-2 Cielo De Fuego probably only need to repeat his last run to win this. He's a 5YO so must have had early problems and $3 seems about the right price. Bunbury 9-4 Rocky Range is 3/3 at Bunbury and takes on our black booker. This is a good field and if e/w odds are available then he's a bet to nothing. Yarra Glen 1-8 Shesha has obviously had problems but must have shown something to start 5/4 fav two starts back at Sale. Was only 8/1 first up when 4th to Grassfire, which started favourite in a Class 1 event yesterday and went like a three-legged crab, but if she's physically OK then I expect her to run a top race.


Black Book: Ararat 5-4 He's Fierce was unlucky first up and if he gets a fair run then will go close, as he has talent. Ararat 6-2 Secret Flyer made it two in a row since a spell with a solid win here last time. The step up in trip is OK though he meets the runner up in that race on quite poor terms. Bunbury 9-6 Mighty Ronnie is not a bad horse and might go OK first up but will be better suited when the trips get longer.
