Flight Deck | (Balaklava Race 3 No. 8)
This isn’t a deep benchmark 62 and this bloke has been taking on much better horses over his last three runs. Three runs back he stepped into open class straight from his maiden win where he flew home for fourth behind the Saturday class Defining and Hopon Harry. Two runs back he went into the Group 3 Chairman’s Stakes where he was majorly outclassed before dropping back slightly to Listed grade where he ran credibly, only fourth lengths off the promising Illation. Back into benchmark 62 grade with a beautiful draw and at a mile, gee he looks well placed.
Current Price: $3.70

Lights of Broadway | (Balaklava Race 5 No.14)
We were on her last start where she was good behind Lakehurst on a soft track at Gawler. She would have improved nicely from that run and coming into this race third-up with another favourable draw is nothing but a positive. I expect her to map well once again and Teagan Vooham would have taken a good note on how to ride this girl last start and will no doubt be savouring the chance to ride her again, but this time at 1400m. Full-field but it’s a long tail, she should get her chance.
Current Price: $3.50

Key Comments There are 9 races including the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (race 8). The track is soft and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Angel Capital (Doomben Race 6 No. 5) Debuted for a 2.3 length win at Cranbourne where he came from last and wound up from the top of the straight to flash home down the outside. Jamie Kah sticks and he looks a lovely colt. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments The main feature is the Group 3 $200,000 Belmont Sprint (race 8). The track is Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Generosity (Belmont Race 5 No. 2) She has had 2 placings this campaign where she’s made a big run from well back in the field. The extra distance will suit and she has won at Belmont before . Top pick. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way

Key Comments 2nd day of the Scone Carnival. Plenty of features including the Woodlands Stakes (race 3), Denise Joy Stakes (race 6), Ortensia Stakes (race 7), the Dark Jewel Classic (race 8) and Luskin Star Stakes (race 9). Best Bet Jedibeel (Scone Race 10 No. 8) Lovely return effort when being backed off the map and showed off a fine turn of foot. Can go right on with things here and should get a nice tow into it from barrier 7. Hard to
