THOROUGHBREDS
Balaklava: Race 1; #1 Eight On The Dot 
LAY: 1. Eight On The Dot (WIN) for 1 unit(s) (Rated at: $4)
EIGHT ON THE DOT finds a big class drop here today, but he has only won 1 from 22 starts and on Good tracks he has only placed on 5 of 18 starts. Feel that the track conditions may not suit him today and especially if he gets too far back in the run. He may also be a bit one paced late dropping back down in grade.
Warwick Farm: Race 2; #6 Llewellyn
LAY: 6. Llewellyn (WIN) for 0.5 unit(s) (Rated at: $15)
The first up overall figure was poor considering the slow pace the race was ran at (10.1 legnths below all average standard to the 600m). The sectionals produced by this horse were poor considering the circumstances and he just got lost late in the race and threw it away. I am against him from the wide draw I am doubtful he will get an easy run throughout.
Sandown: Race 7; #1 Scissor Step
LAY: 1 Scissor Step (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at: $11)
Despite the 3kg claim, Scissor Step is still forced to lug around the grandstand here with 62kg, and with J.Kennedy on board, that's 9.5kg of dead weight. The five-year-old son of Toronado's ratings really fell off at the back end of last preparation and the McEvoy's record first-up in the Metro area isn't great, 3/41 over the last 12 months, with two thirds of those winners being Veight.
GREYHOUNDS
The Meadows: Race 6; #6 Succeed
LAY: 6. Succeed (WIN) for 3 unit(s) (Rated at: $2)
Succeed is as evil as they come, I don't trust him to stick his head out and win and if you want to back him well into red figures, that's up to you. But for minimal Liability I am happy to take him on in case he bludges for most of the race and burns the punters again.
HARNESS
Swan Hill: Race 5; #6 Bettor Star
LAY: 6. Bettor Star (WIN) for 3 unit(s) (Rated at: $8)
Bettor Star was well back to win last time and had every chance from a much more favourable draw. Tonight has the awkward barrier 6 to contend with and will have to work hard at some point to win.
