THOROUGHBREDS

Sale: Race 2; #9 Champagne Effort 

Comes out of some fast run races her last couple however the last 600m figures have been average. She is drawn to run well but I am doubtful she is looking for any further than 1000m and I am happy to risk her in this.

GREYHOUNDS

Sandown Park: Race 4; #7 Divine Nature 

Divine Nature was awesome last start in winning over 515m in a slick 29.21 but there is some more pressure here in a race with handy early speed dogs. Box 7 over this bend start can often prove a nightmare and even if he does eventually find the lead, he could be vulnerable in the closing stages.

Sandown Park: Race 8; #4 Big Energy 

Big Energy didn't do much wrong in his heat run but he is still a query at this distance range in a hot field like this. He would need to lead this clearly in the early and middle stages, and even then most of his opponents have had better preparations and are more seasoned over 595m.

Wentworth Park: Race 9; #4 Still Available 

4 is very hit and miss early and he has a terrible draw tonight. 3 will step right and veer off the track. He could be in a world of hurt early. Happy to take on.
