THOROUGHBREDS
Flemington: Race 6; #2 Mollynickers 
LAY: 2. Mollynickers (WIN) for 3 units (Rated at: $5.5)
I can't get near Mollynickers at the price with the map from the wide draw first-up for a camp that isn't getting them screwed down early in the preparation these days. She will be back near last, giving a few of her main rivals 5-7 lengths.
Morphettville: Race 7; #2 Tapinforpar
LAY (WIN) TAPINFORPAR for 1 unit
Attacked the line hard last start for close up 3rd behind SANDY PRINCE and NEODIUM but had every chance in running. Draws poorly on a tight turning track and meets NEODIUM 4kg worse off at the weights and finished behind it!
Randwick: Race 10; #9 Thunderlips
LAY (WIN) #9 Thunderlips for 0.5 units (Rated at: $4.00)
Has drawn low and likely gets a good run throughout but he was a big price last start and this is a much stronger race, I can't get him as short as the current market so I am happy to risk at the current price.
GREYHOUNDS
The Meadows: Race 8; #1 Schillaci
LAY: 1. Schillaci (WIN) for 1 unit(s) (Rated at: $7.5)
Even with the inside draw, I still don't think Schillaci is going well enough to win this heat that is filled with talent. If he gets crossed early by Umberto he may get buried back on the fence, if that happens the race shapes better for Cain Bale and Hector Fawley to get past Schillaci in the closing stages anyway.
