THOROUGHBREDS
Bordertown: Race 5; #1 Rohlon Drunk 
Horse has been thereabouts but is now starting to creep up in the weights (even with the claim) vs a handy bunch like this. Think there's a few in this with a bit of upside vs a horse that's had 67 starts and remains at this level. Tricky draw for the new apprentice to sort out.
Canterbury: Race 8; #10 City Of Lights
Showed good promise in her second racing prep but they did try her out to a greater distance than this and although she has a good finish on her she can take time to wind up and I am doubtful the Canterbury circuit will suit her first-up.
GREYHOUNDS
Swindled has opened up extremely short in early markets. He had a super Bulli Cup campaign but this race in itself would actually be a worthy Bulli Cup final. All of these opponents are capable of winning this and Shima Stripe is very well drawn out wide so I'm hoping he can knock off Swindled.
Richmond: Race 4; #4 Has Ability
This is a good race and I think 4 is under the odds. Could be behind 1-7-8 early which would make it difficult and at the price, happy to risk.
