Message: Rce 1 - Narellan has the big weight but is in top form and has McLellan aboard. Bit of Knowledge is back in Sydney and with the claim will be in the finish. Look for improvement in Southern Rose.
Rce 2 - Imperialism should win here but can be costly. Bit of Knowledge is also engaged in this race and will be hard to beat in which ever race they choose. Coolgardie can round out the top 3.
Rce 3 - Peel won well last start and can go on with it again. Gorgonite is the danger and will be tough to beat while Beatitude gets in well and should charge home.
Rce 4 - Suva has Beadman aboard and will be extremely hard to beat. Beau Gallant is the definite danger after a top run last start while British Storm will be good value and one for the exotics.
Rce 5 - Lilly O'Reilly is in great form and should win, however will be short. Reve is the only one that looks capable of beating her while Inatin should fill the 3rd place.
Rce 6 - Pont Du Gard is capable of beating Winbreaker here. They will fight it out. Honshu should lead and can stick on for third at good odds.
Rce 7 - Octama should win this race if he ever is to greet the judge. Won't be at anything special though. River to the Sea is the danger with Pensive Warfare for third.
Rce 8 - Top race for the last of the day. Eastwest Success backs up and looks the one to beat. With the pace on Wagstaffe and Force Zulu will charge home and won't be far away. If Chester County finds his best he will blow this lot away.
Best Quinella - rce 5 - Lilly O'Reilly and Reve Best EW - Rce 6 Pont Du Gard
Message: Best advice I can offer about Kenso would be to drive straight past, head to the airport, get on a discount flight to Bris or Melb & catch a cab out to the proper races.
You can be back in time to watch the Swans at the SCG.
Probably only set you back a couple of hundred, & you'll feel better for it. Who knows, you may even get Tonto as your driver (in Melb).
Have more chance of getting your $200 back at decent race tracks with decent fields & not run by TAB Ltd.
Good chance you'll get your money back on Bris R1-1, too.
Please think twice before giving up your hard earned to TAB Ltd. Just look at what they are giving you back.

Message: Hawkes,
Thanks for the post (taking the time to do it).
My comment regarding Sydney today is that I have added a new rule to my investing.
I don't have any investments on track's worse than dead. Maybe its taken me a lot longer than others to come to this conclusion.
I find when reveiwing my results that they are consistently negative on slow and heavy tracks.
How often do we identify horses who have won or been placed on a "wet" surface only to find a horse who has no disclosed form an a rain affected surface runs a great race and we are left scratching our heads.
In addition, I don't particularly like the K surface.
I agree with the Commish on this one.
Having said all the above, I hope you have a successful day.
