Race 4 - have never backed this guy - but a few times been taken with its guts and determination, he's a goer - on the eachway basis of 2 x 6 - Plutocracy.
Race 6 - ok let's see if can get something out of the race on quinella betting - every man and his dog will have it, but will try for a small profit. Looks easy = a moral for something to go wrong.
Am taking all ways quinella on Superstorm - Tuscan Queen - Naughty But Nice 20 times = $60
Then Superstorm and Tuscan Queen for $30.
Superstorm and Naughty But Nice for $20.
Total quinella spend $110.
Think if was betting just one horse in the race would go Tuscan Queen - small win - big place. But will stick to quinellas at this stage.
If the winner and at least one placing doesn't come from those three - will walk to China!

Will be interesting to see which direction the money goes, although do recall Missisippi Delta when first up, one of the biggest winning drifters ever to be seen at Ascot and can't forget Star Exhibit - going wooshka first up when not a zac for it and victory at around 50/1.
Fair dinkum Naughty But Nice had oodles and oodles up its sleeve when winning first up, went to the line hard held - a bit different against these other two - but will see if can go close again.
Going to be a super hard marker here - hmmm...beaten in a Bunbury maiden, unplaced in the Guineas and unplaced in the Kingston Town, hearing a lot of talk, is deep into the red - it's already time to walk the walk! Those couple of runs in the Guineas and KT were bloody good just the same.
Early $1.60 wow that's skinny...could come out and win with a leg in the air, but not sure about taking around 4/7.
Some early support for the filly Monteleena, now into third favourite ahead of Naughty But Nice. Those two fillies and the other classy filly Tuscan Queen might "gang up" on the gelding.
Going to be a ripper this one. Four of all quality.

Prescience
Best of those for me as a chance and a decent price is Naughty by Nature, I'm willing to take on the Peters juggernaut first up and NBN looked absolutely wound up for this prep last start. I've taken $10.
Best each way by a mile is Prescience in the last. Will get as much as $31. I reckon it's a get out special.
Cheers and good luck
See that equal fave with Plays The Game is now Volkswagon Frank - goodness gracious been a good supporter of Frank, but he's had every possible mortal chance at his last two runs, can Willy Pike squeeze another length out of him...very good combo there J Warwick/W Pike and if anybody could lift the Volkswagon over the line it's those two.
As they say..if behind coming to the last race..good luck, very tricky affair.
That race should be about a 6/1 ( $7 ) the field type of race - betting under $5 fixed on a race with that many chances is hard to beat.

Quinella dividend of $5.50 held up pretty well considering exacta paid the same. Tuscan Queen she ran on ok without looking in the run likely to figure. 4th was ok.
