Comments: Gee, that thing yesterday, Azzeland, blasted them in short order. I thought he might have been vulnerable but he was far from it. Rockhampton 2-1 Danwana's connections obviously got sick of chasing Danzamonkey around so decided to try dropping in grade and rising in weight in order to rack up a win. The best weighted horse in the race looks to be Carnaby Springs so if we can get around $4 then that would be a good bet. Rockhampton 3-3 Lasting Peace ran a couple of good races here before a poor 10th. If he runs up to those other efforts then he'll go close in this. Rockhampton 5-2 Danzamonkey has looked vulnerable past 1200m previously but looks a much stronger horse as a 4YO and he really should win again.

Black Book: Ascot 6-15 Mighty Ronnie really should be in the 1800m race, I reckon, rather than take on some of the other smart ones here. He should get a good run and will get home strongly but I'd want to see $16 to have a go in this. Doomben 4-6 Slim Pickings is really well placed in this and I expect him to go close at really good odds. Moonee Valley 5-4 Chinner Street was quite unlucky last time and if she gets a clean run is going to give this a fair shake.
