THOROUGHBREDS
Sandown: Race 1; #5 The Shaper 
LAY: 5. The Shaper (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at: $2.5)
The Shaper can certainly win, however the race looks more even than what the early market is predicting. The Shaper was terrific first-up versus a Stakes class filly and he maps well, the rating wasn't anything mind blowing and he was at his top from a mounting yard perspective there first-up.
Nearing Liberty brings in the best formlines from his runs last preparations and the recent Traralgon trial was very sharp work. Judge Jenni was backed for a stack the last few minutes of betting on debut at Ballarat, she was never in the race, closed off well, up in trip suits.
Murray Bridge: Race 1; #6 Volcanic Express
LAY (WIN) #6. Volcanic Express for 1 unit
VOLCANIC EXPRESS was luckless on debut for 4th here over the 1200m before a break. Started $91 that day. Resumes over the 900m scamper here and looks to have a negative racing pattern. Looks a horse for the future but might find this too short.
LAY (WIN) #4 Windshadow for 0.5 units (Rated at: $5)
Comes into this first up from a long break against some horses who are race fit and racing well, he does race well when first up but is yet to win and there is good pressure engaged here so I expect the race to be ran at a good tempo and his fitness may be the issue late in the race.
GREYHOUNDS
The Meadows: Race 8; #3 Mepunga Mustang
LAY (WIN) #3 Mepunga Mustang for 1.5 units (Rated at: $2.00)
Hoping there's enough speed off the mat that Mepunga Mustang gets driven mad by Silver Taquisha and Rixi Bale. Lupini Monelli is also a positive wildcard who will be there when the whips are cracking. Mepunga Mustang is still racing well but his best days are behind him. At likely red figures I just have to take him on and Lay.
