Purrfect Deal (Doomben Race 6 No. 9)
This Dundeel mare trained by Michael Costa on the Gold Coast has had four starts for two wins and a place. She settled 4th took over at the 150m and raced away for a 4.5 length win over 1400m at Gold Coast on 10 October, then was 2nd most of the way but couldn’t keep up with the winner for 2 lengths 2nd over 171om at Ipswich on 21 October. Looks a likely winner.

Each Way
All To Do (Doomben Race 5 No.4):
This four-year-old All Too Hard gelding trained by Stuart Kendrick has finished runner-up at all three starts this campaign for a career record of one win and five places from eight starts. He fought on but was no match for the winner when 2.3 lengths 2nd over 1000m at Sunshine Coast on 25 September, then led and paired off at the 200m and was outmuscled late for 0.3 length 2nd over 1200m at Sunshine Coast on 18 October. He drops in weight and looks a good each-way bet.

Usmanov (Doomben Race 8 No. 6):
This five-year-old Choisir gelding is the early favourite in this Open Quality Handicap over 1110m. He resumed from a spell for 2.25 lengths 2nd over 900m at Gold Coast on 19 September, then hit the front at the 150m but got caught by the winner for 0.3 length 2nd over 1000m at Eagle Farm on 3 October. He is finding it hard to get another win and I suspect something will beat him again.

Key Comments The rail is true. The track is in the soft range. This track usually favours those on speed. Best Bet Final Atom (Horsham Race 7 No. 1) Should land up on speed and prove hard to catch. Walters steers from the good draw and she is 3 rides aboard for 2 seconds. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Bubble Palace (Horsham Race 6 No. 5) Should

Key Comments The best bet bobs up in the first. The track is in the heavy range. Best Bet Snatchreilly (Newcastle Race 1 No. 5) Good 2 efforts so far this prep. Maps really well, goes forward and Latham sticks. Slight query on heavy ground but ticks all the other boxes.

Key Comments The feature races are the Adelaide Guineas (race 6), Queen Elizabeth II Cup (race 7) and the South Australian Derby (race 8). The track is good and the rail is +2 metres from the 1200m to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet The Map (Morphettville Race 7 No. 2) She’s has had a 7 week let-up after just missing in the Adelaide Cup and comes off a trial win at Balaklava. Going really well this campaign and

Key Comments Wagga Cup Day. The Gold Cup is the feature and it is race 7. The best bet is in the feature. Best Bet Fawkner Park (Wagga Riverside Race 7 No. 7) Happy to risk him with the wide draw. Last win was so dominant and you can fan wide and win on this track. Very difficult barrier but backing in Schiller. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Cruizingdafield (Wagga
