I've decided to try and create some value out of nothing races tonight. This will go brilliantly or I'll head home penniless.
Race 1
Your guess is as good as mine essentially. From the breeding side of things, 2 - OUR LIBERATOR is well-bred being out of G1 mare Libertybelle Midfrew and Mike Reed recently trialled her at Wanneroo, uncustomary of him. The quiet trial, finishing 4th of 4, could mean he was hiding her from the public eye but there's no early support for her. Hall Jnr on and drawn to lead if required. I was also a fan of 3 - EUPHORIC MOMENT's mother but this gelding has shown little to none at the trials and 4 - SPORTS CENTRAL ran a nice race on debut and is sure to be improved. His mother was a G1 winner also and there is early betting support for him.
Race 2
2 - NUCLEAR POKER won quite easily last start and will be able to find the front tonight, rendering it as the one to beat but the short quote has it well covered. However, if there is adequate pressure then 6 - HONEY AND LIME could be a decent each-way bet. Never a factor last start and faces a dive in class here from a race that I liked as a form reference.
Race 3
2 - ITS MY LUCKNOW will get a good run in transit here whether DEG decides to drop onto the leaders back or challenge for the front early. Her recent efforts have been solid and she looks a good each-way bet. 8 - GOTTA GO GABBANA did beat her by some 30m a month ago, but 2 - ITS MY LUCKNOW was working hard in a scorching 35.3 lead time and beat the others in that early duel home.
Race 4
5 - MY ART WORK deserves favouritism following a convincing win last start but there's not a lot to like about the price. Stablemate 10 - ZENNART was a very strong winner here a week ago but will again need racing luck from the draw.9 - FUN MAGIC TRIX blew the start by some 25m last week (as it tends to do every week) and ran home powerfully in a speedy last half. Punters keep throwing good money after bad but will be rewarded the day he finally puts it all together. It along with 2 - EL CARTEL could be playing for primarily place money but should not be ignored. 2 - EL CARTEL drops back in grade here and has not been disgraced in unsuitably run and significantly stronger races of late.
Race 5
6 - LUIS ALBERTO will have to earn it here but I have no doubt he is the better horse of he and 5 - BETTOR BE LIVELY. Whether its his night tonight I don't know. If the favourites flop spectacularly, 1 - ABETTA TINY DANCER will defy its odds and is better than the market suggests.
Race 6
Very even race. At the price I'm going to take 9 - TANAKA EAGLE. Is going better than numerical form suggests and if there is sufficient pace on he will be hard to hold out. Similarly, if the race isn't run to suit him 2 - JUS LIVINTHEDREAM, 5 - ANOTHER AYJAY and 7 - A BIT RUTHLESS can all figure, but at the odds you have to lean to 9 - TANAKA EAGLE.
Race 7
4 - SUNROSE VILLAGE is knocking on the door for another win and is over the odds tonight. His recent efforts have been strong in better races and looks a decent each-way play in a race where the favourites are under the odds and are yet to fully prove themselves in my eyes.
Race 8
10 - SAMMY CHARLES looks a good tip in another even trot line-up. He's knocking on the door to win one and his effort first up was strong when working and fighting to the line for another 2nd placing. 7 - BALMORAL BOY led and had it on his own terms when beating 10 - SAMMY CHARLES by 3m last time and has never won from the stand. 9 - DIAMOND GEEZER was comprehensively beaten by both of them. Additionally, 8 - LIGHTNING CALDER had his chance to beat 9 - DIAMOND GEEZER two starts back and couldn't. It looks 10 - SAMMY CHARLES' race but he finds it hard to win and these trot races are hard to assess.
+1 -1

Havent seen tbe replay but by going on the stewards comments the 5 hung in during the score up.aybe that contributed to it. Not sure didnt see the race.
What i can comment on was the peach of a drive in the 7th. Took the initiatives at the start then Took the fav out of play at tbe bell while softening up the leader. Smart drive to say the least.

Wouldnt put it past R Warwick to be daydreaming and wondering where his next golf game wad gunna be. Heard a bang and realised he was in the score up haha.
I keep coming back to him clearly loving a punt on anything that moves and his mind just already being on sat afternoons on friday night.
Sometimes on friday nights I worry that is having a stroke he splutters the names out so poorly.
Bring tuesday night Rich on for friday and he will be far easier on the ear.
