THOROUGHBREDS
Coffs Harbour: Race 1; #4 Golden Dubai 
Was poor last start after leading at a slow tempo and I am happy to risk with several first starters engaged that look good enough to win this.
Ipswich: Race 2; #6 Italian Virtuoso
Italian Virtuoso looks under the odds here first-up over 1200m. Should get a good run from gate, but looks too slow at 1200m to beat these.
The early market favourite Excommunicado is in at Mornington on Thursday, so I'm assuming she will be coming out. Kiko should firm into sub $2.5 and that is a very layable price. She faces a slightly easier race than last start but she fell into third and now being a 11-start maiden, the market expects more from her than I do.
GREYHOUNDS
Geelong: Race 10; #2 Tokyo Heist
This race has deceptive depth across the board and anything could win this without really surprising so I am taking on Tokyo Heist here. The map for Tokyo Heist looks very sticky as the wide running Nimble Benny has drawn underneath and looks likely to drive Tokyo Heist mad in the early stages. If that eventuates then anything is possible here which means there are enough negative variables to bet against Tokyo Heist winning.
