R1: No1 Herrick Roosevelt. Has shown enough to think that he should be leading and winning. That said we haven’t seen enough of 3 Ace Bromac to really judge how good he is. The form line is there through The Publisher to say Herrick beats him but I think he probably went a bit unders at his second run compered to his first. He might be a horse with electric gate speed who knows? Bad Round is racing ok although I would have liked him to win it Tuesday. 9 Topnotch Mach went to the line bolting at his first start for the new stable, they can get them going so is a very interesting runner. El Sunami and The Storm Chief will be running on and Disco Under Fire can possibly cling into 4th using the pegs. Early Quad: 1. FF: 1/3,9/3,9,12/2,3,5,9,10,11,12. 100% costs $20. Might have something a place Topnotch Mach too.
R2: No2 Responder. Pretty keen on this guy. Think Voak can sit him up nice and close and go woosh late. Give The Pacesetter a good chance of crossing but he has tended to get tired late in his races although the 1700m should help. Hot Fraternity is the one who has been in the stronger races. Thought his last run was interesting, had a chance to come off and even have a crack at trying to win it but was hell bent on staying on the pegs. To me that suggests that maybe the horse isn’t going as well as he can. At his best he is the horse to beat. Early Quad: 2,4,7. Win bet No2 Responder.
R3: No5 Hidden Bad. There are easier races going around to punt on than this! I like the engagement of Grantham on the mare, she was getting home ok under her own steam last time. Just think the driver/horse combo may click. There are a few here that are in my punting stable but they can win without me here. Early Quad: You could go the field but I’m staying skinny. 3,5. Back Hidden Bad to win and something small the 3 in case he crosses.
R4: No3 Military Master. Not many horses around racing better than him at the moment. Neither he nor 1 Im Master Charlie have much to say they are blistering early from the mobile but neither is anything else so I thought they could settle one two and potentially dominate. Perhaps Natural Disaster pushes forward off the mobile just to make it a bit more of a race. Plenty of talented horses going well in this but I just think the 1 and 3 dictate, smash the clock home making it too hard for anything out wide making Aussie Delight a blowout chance. Early Quad. Again depending on how you think it will be run you could go field but I’m taking 1,3,6,10. Including Frosty Flyer goes against how I think the race plays out but I loved how he was flashing to the line. Not sure if I’ll have a bet maybe something very small Frosty Flyer.
R5: No6 Ohoka Kentucky. Obviously Soho Wall Street has been fantastic at his last three and has to be hard to beat. I’m not convinced that leading is his go, I’m also not convinced he will even lead as I think Rycroft is a very solid chance of crossing him. I loved Ohoka Kentucky’s last run. If they slacken at any stage he can be put into it or he can sit sprint. EW all day. Main Quad: 2,4,6. EW Ohoka Kentucky.
R6: No2 American Bootscooter. Some cracking talent in this line up. The 1 has good gate speed but I think they would be mad to try hold up, is way unders in early markets IMO. American Bootscooter doesn’t have good gate speed but I think Lewis can get him to do just enough to push through and take it up. From there if he runs up to his last run he wins. A chance they could go too hard early which I think brings 10 Johny Disco into it from three back the pegs. I think Zach Maguire will find this hard. He made up all his ground when they went 29.2 after they went hard early, they are likely to run consistently fast in this making it really hard for him to get into it. I still have to include him but if he wins will go up a notch in my rating. Harry Hoo was too big last week not to have, I think Clint has chosen the wrong horse. Could lead, could get a good sit so must go in. Main Quad: 2,3,9,10. I want to back Bootscooter but he is well found in the market. Think it will drift if not will have something EW Harry Hoo or Johny Disco.
R7: No3 Run Oneover. This should be an absolute belter. I’m not sure who leads out of the inside 3. I just figure regardless of where he lands Run Oneover can just keep running the sectionals. A lot of chances though. Excitusinthecity is going to win one soon. Sheer Rocknroll is obviously stepping out of mares grade but mares in form, you just have to have them. Boaz was ok first up. Keep going back to Run Oneover running them into the ground. Main Quad: Just going to anchor the 3, don’t want to play much with the quad with it including the trot.
R8: No10 Sunnys Little Whiz. I haven’t seen a trot race for months before watching a couple of replays tonight so I’m no guide! I do have good memories though of Sunnys Little Whiz. Taking 1 Kell Road Kid because it steps, 6 Imhavinaball because of how it ran through the line on May 15. Leaving out Hudson Bay. Main Quad: 1,6,10
R9: No2 Cyclonedomic. I had something small this guy tues and he ran ok. The 1 gets out well, have a sneaky feeling Roberts might be able to sneak in behind it. Couple of dollars EW at the 60/1.
R10: No4 Ready For Takeoff. What a race!!!! Some well deserving connections of one of these is going to get a thrill. Ready For Take Off has done nothing since arriving but I thought he was a good looking horse so that alone gets him on top.
Good luck all.

I can remember seeing him often at the Trots - as his wife said - had a great partership with FRK - from memory won quite a few of those juvenile classic races . She also mentioned one year they had 100 winners - which is some effort
He had a personal tradgedy which you wouldnt wish on anyone - but he seemed like a decent sort of bloke .I can remember going to a Pinjarra night meeting many many years ago - at the old triangular track - and a few minutes before one particular race - down near the winning post where i was standing - there was a bit of a brawl ( and they reckon society has got more violent) - 3 or 4 young blokes - in their early 20s - and decent punches were being thrown and landed - Roy was in the vicinity and he actually broke up the fight - i can remember him saying in a very authorative voice - Come on cut this blooody nonsense out .
No he seemed like a decent sort of bloke - certainly loved Harness Racing - so rest in peace Roy
