INSIDE MAIL

RACE 1

Myeyesadoreyou, a daughter of trainer Paul Perry’s international sprint star Choisir, stepped up to 2200m for the first time at Scone where she came from just off the speed and raced away to score by over three lengths. Followed up with a third to Apache Belle in a BM64 over 2300m at Newcastle. Back to 2100m and gets an ideal run from gate one. Dreamdeel has had two goes at 2100m for two seconds including his most recent run in the Tuncurry Cup on Sept 8. Drops to 58kg with the claim and looks the hardest to beat. Microna is a winner at the trip and step up after placings over 1300m and 1600m.

Bet: Myeyesadoreyou each-way

RACE 2

Flashy filly Miss Bayles was pushed wide on the bend before running a half-length second to well-back favourite Unstopabull on debut at Kembla on Sept 9. Drawn to be prominent and will go close. Lulumon was good effort on debut when a closing long neck third to Love Shuck on debut in the Inglis Challenge at Scone. Trialling well. Belyaev ran handy races including a second placing in her first campaign. Returned with a two length sixth to Missouk after racing four and five wide at Hawkesbury first-up. Debutant Pajanti is trialling well and be a major player.

Bet: Miss Bayles to win

RACE 3

Satirical Fan ran same handy races for her previous trainer despite being unplaced. Now with Kris Lees and was a long-head second at Tuncurry first-up after racing keen. Cross-over nose band went back on and she was a long neck second to race favourite Territory Express at Newcastle. Drawn well and she can go one better. Hellbetta had blinkers for the first time and ran on well at big odds for a length third to Decisive Lass when resuming at Kembla before a third to Diamond Flyer and Raillery there last start. Daytona Gal looked to appreciate getting out to 1500m last start when a closing second to Mr Papera at Hawkesbury after jumping slowly.

Bet: Satirical Fan to win

RACE 4

Oakfield Prince is knocking on the door after placings at three of his last four starts by under three-quarters of a length. Just failed to hold out Pushy at Newcastle on Aug 19 before beating all bat Blackcomb over this track and distance last start. Moritz Girl resumed with a second to the impressive French Endeavour over 1300m then stepped up to 1600m where she came over the top to beat Vadamos Queen. Only had the three runs and should continue to improve. Noble Empress settled near last when resuming at Newcastle and despite finishing eighth of 13, was just two lengths off Terrameades over 1250m. Is unbeaten second-up and at the mile.

Bet: Oakfield Prince to win

RACE 5

Dark Halo is a debutant by Zoustar from the Maher/Eustace stable. Has scored impressive wins in his last two trials, the latest by nearly 10 lengths. Rhesus has the benefit of race experience. He was beaten as an odd-on favourite on debut then resumed from a spell with a sixth at Warwick Farm. Back from another break and has been gelded. Keenan is another first starter. The Waterhouse/Bott-trained son of Capitalist has looked good in both his trials at Randwick with a win and a close second. Battle Of Vienna ran on for second to Royal Tribute at Hawkesbury on debut.

Bet: Dark Halo to win

RACE 6

Wild Flash showed good speed to lead on debut on the Kensington and while no match for Rock Empire in the straight, he did beat the third horse by two lengths. He will benefit from the experience and from a good draw, can go one better. Worth Avenue had to be steadied at the 100m when making ground in finishing a length sixth to Burnett over 1200m on debut at Kembla. Came from well back when third at the same track and trip last start. Looks suited stepping up to 1350m. Candlelit is close to a maiden win. Place four of six including a nose second to Missile Seeker over 1300m at Canberra last start.

Bet: Wild Flash to win

RACE 7

Solar System was ridden out of the gate to sit outside Fire Star when third on debut here on Aug 3. Returned 24 days later with a big win from Countyourblessings. A trial has kept him up to the mark and he can overcome his wide gate to win again. Just Gisella is better than her last at Warwick Farm last start when it started pouring just before her race. Tracked the leaders before going on to score a length win from Alvina’s Luck at Hawkesbury on Aug 8. Drawn out so may be scratched but a chance on that performance if she does start. Spicy Hotpot wasn’t beaten far in a Midway last start but just didn’t quite see out the 1200m at that level. Back in grade and in trip to 1100m on her home track. Beneficio was a handy second to Our Boy Ollie at Muswellbrook first-up.

Bet: Solar System to win

RACE 8

Write This Way was poised to win at Kembla last start but pulled up with a bruised heel when a length and a quarter fifth behind Divine Glory. Goes to 1350m for the first time but drawn to get the right run. Egyptian Tycoon was caught wide early then drifted back to get one off before working home for third to Sunzou at Kembla last start. Winkers go one for the first time and extra trip should suit. Oh Golly Gosh drops back in grade from her ninth in a Midway at Randwick. Nice win at Hawkesbury the start prior.

Bet: Write This Way to win
