R1- LONG BEACH may simply be a better horse when ridden cold. Drawn six in the six horse field he gets the opportunity to be ridden that way in a race that should set up nicely for him. Was brilliant winning his first three this campaign when ridden in the back half of the field and is now reunited with Pike. Speed should be pretty solid for a small field and he can go back to last and bide his time and save him for one run.
R2- FLYING MISSILE cruised around at her sole public appearance over 400m. Began cleanly, mustered speed and maintained that speed to win in slick time. Things are going to be tougher on race day but she looks pretty professional and if she can jump here from barrier one and hold the lead it’ll be a massive advantage. For a field of 2yos there aren’t too many who look like they’ll attack for the front and that’s a another big help.
R3- PADDY’S SHADOW was a month between runs back to 1600 last start and was a good run over the shorter trip. Has placed twice at her two runs over staying trips this prep when beaten narrowly behind Leading Girl and Double Digit which looks good form here. Hit the line well last start in a slowly run mile that should have her primed to run out a strong 2200 and looks like she will be winning a distance race in the near future.
R4- MYSTICAL VIEW wasn’t appreciating the distance increases she was being faced with so the team have changed tack. Was a first up winner of a class one before running second in the Belgravia on her way to the Champion Fillies. Was well beaten last start in that race and now backs up back to 1200 and gets both blinkers and Pike on. Speed should be solid here so she can drop back to last from the outside gate and only has to run down seven rivals.
R5- SOPHIE’S SONG looks very well placed here back in grade and distance. She’s a better horse at Ascot and both her runs since returning to HQ have been good including last start when leading over 1600 and running second beating a subsequent winner in Naughty By Nature. She’s a much better horse at 1400 and should be able to breeze at a moderate tempo in this field. Should be approaching peak fitness at her fifth run in and gets a senior rider on.
R6- Best Bet: DOM TO SHOOT was the victim of a farcical tempo in the Fairetha. Was a Herculean effort to get within 1.5L of the winner and although they’re not going to fly here, expect they’ll go a fair bit faster and that will bring him right into it. His two runs prior against the older horses were super and from the middle draw he can sit a little closer but still in the three deep line where he seems to appreciate being. Meets almost all of his last start rivals better at the weights and looks like relishing 1600.
R7- RATION ALY may not be as well weighted as some of her rivals but she is super progressive. Went undefeated in three runs at the back end of Winter and now is ready to tackle the summer fillies and mares series. Beat some handy horses in sharp times last prep including one of her main rivals here in TYCOON STORM and may have improved in her two months off. Her trial on Monday was quality in slick time when never extended.
R8- TOO CLOSE THE SUN stretched the neck of INSPIRATIONAL GIRL first up at 1400 after parading very plain. Was a marked improver second up both in the yard and on the track when working to cross and breaking their hearts over 1800 producing a serious figure. Backing up here should be super fit and he will be looking to work across from the deep again to lead or breeze. Dropping back to 1600 expect Azzopardi to have him rolling before the turn to really make his rivals work to catch him.
R9- PYM’S ROYALE runs his best races fresh and is a month between runs here. Couldn’t catch the leader in a slowly run Hannans two back before making good ground on a leaders day in the Northam cup. Looks like he may be back to his best after a good mid prep trial and the pads come off suggesting the camp are on top of his issues. Will go back and look for cover just off midfield from nine and in a race without serious tempo he has turn of foot to out sprint his rivals.

the finish again. He should lead and have a chance to control the pace.
when a blood test showed he had a virus. Should lead easily and be there
in the finish with only 52.5kg on his back.
last run in the Fairetha was good going down 0.3L after fading just at
the finish. Blinkers go on for the step up to 1600m.

Carocapo - small field suits and big improvement expected second up at 1200m
Gorgeous Gossip - Liked the trial
Adornment - senior jock on, stronger rider and can turn tables on fav
Chantorque - still on the up and any improvement means a win
Sophie's Song - back to a 66+ and 1400m with the in form B Parnham.
Dom to Shoot (best) - massive in the lead up, under mild vigour flattened out full of running after siting deep the trip
Special Choice - last win looks good on paper and get Pike back in the saddle. Underrated mare sits handy from 4 and can hold them off
Platoon - been on all prep. Owes me nothing and again at big price. Back to handicap conditions massive plus. The 3rd last year was a far superior race.
Point Taken - maddie to end the day in an open race but he's been huge last 2 at 1400m and don't need much on each way at the end of the day.

The Warwick trained Phanta at 20s may run super well and should be improved off the ripper run in the Fairetha.
The staying race lottery my "ball" fell with Great Waters who i think can step up in grade and possibly win, will have a saver on the fav and Jell's tip can definitely place..but is a nonny to be fair.
R4 Queen Brown with even luck and back to 1200 can beat these based on that dead set unlucky Belgravia run, looks a good competitive race however.
Western Empire wins race 5 If it misses a run in the Guineas..otherwise Tiff Has Spoken is the testing material.
In the lucky last my semi maddie is Luke's Gold why cant he run a cracker yet again?? Still ran well on a less preferred heavy track last week and the 7 day backup should be ok(won 1 recently off this gap)just needs some cover this time @Lucy and should be very strong late..ew all day this bloke.
Great day of premium W.A racing as stated, good luck and drink responsibly .

Disappointing as had Magical Dream into Inspirational Girl early on as a small all in double. You are just on a hiding to nothing backing Bob's horses in all in markets

Parnham stops riding loses momentum when the winner shifts in pulls around heels and is taking ground off the winner late
From what I saw on the head-on, the run wasn't really there for Chris to take... that might have had something to do with the decision i guess
