Comments: Today sees the first selections from the new system 18 and they look to have fair chances. Ascot 2-2 Three Amigos has two wins and a 2nd from his last 3 starts and looks to be a fair chance here and if there are any chinks in the armour of Special Reserve then he'll finish on top. Ascot 3-1 Wild Frankie won a harder race nicely last time so you'd think he'd be a great chance here with just 0.5kg more but he's up against a black booker in Inarticulate and that horse is really good so I think Wild Frankie is racing for 2nd. Eagle Farm 2-6 Mr Slick drew off the track and got home nicely for a good 2nd last time over this course. He's drawn slightly better today and should get a good chance late at nice odds.

Black Book: Ascot 3-5 Inarticulate won under a throttle hold first up, never got out of 2nd gear 2nd up and repeated the dose last time over this course. I expect him to win this. Toowoomba 3-1 Azzaland has been terrific at his three wins so far and he'll win this, too, but will be about $1.10, which is a tad short for me.
