Despite an average trial I'm sticking with a horse that owes a few punters a quid or two. Kimberly Cowboy has run some good races in his past 5 starts but hasn't always had the favours - tomorrow in weaker company we'll give him one final chance.
The formline out of Union City's race are solid and despite only saluting 2 of 18 he looks to be in the finish once again.
Quadroplex was a decent 3yo and came home well enough when resuming at Belmont with a placing.

Going for value with Lighthouse Dancing, out of Hurricane Sky, who ran two good placings behind decent horses at his previous campaign albeit over further. Despite only contributing 10 starts at the age of 6, he has proven he can run a race first up and this might be his campaign.
Sass'n'Ping has the foot on the till and deserves this, however his best form is at Belmont and Harrison will be relying on the weaker field that at his previous start.
Rock and Riff is another who could show their best cards to date and features the always-dangerous Brown/Taylor combo.
7. LIGHTHOUSE DANCING - 5. SASS'N'PING - 3. HAY STREET HERO
There's not much to work with here so we'll stick with the race track experience of Born To Be Wild and Unleashed Brumby. Looking for Unleashed Brumby to turn the tables after three minor placings in a row and should take up the running. Colin Webster will again be making hay and his gelding's previous win was full of merit depsite narrow.
It's A Bit Shady features in this through good trial form and The Fish has kept the ride. Stan Bates knows when they're ready and it will be worth following the betting.
3. UNLEASHED BRUMBY - 1. BORN TO BE WILD - 11. IT'S A BIT SHADY
The Vernon Brockman trained First Game broke the maiden and then performed very admirably when finishing 5th to the talent Passion Cantana. Drawn well and back to a more even class, she looks a good bet.
Guessing Game has proven ability and Paul Harvey takes back the ride from the Wizard. She's placed at the track and can be in the finish again tomorrow.
Little Billie Rose finished behind First Game last start and despite a break could be competitive.
2. FIRST GAME - 3. GUESSING GAME - 7. LITTLE BILLIE ROSE
Good race here. Empress of Ireland for Durrant looks poised at her third start back. After narrowly missing last start, she'll have nothing on her back with the claim.
Tiffany Yellow had a great preparation last start and has proven herself first up. She's a talented mare and this looks like a nice race to return.
Western Fever will need to deal with the 58kg impost but is racing well.
9. EMPRESS OF IRELAND - 3. TIFFANY YELLOW(NZ) - 2. WESTERN FEVER
Foxy Commander has a great record and trialled sensationaly at Belmont recently. She'll be hard to beat for the combination of Simon Miller and Patrick Carbery.
Travinator form can't be argued with and Palmdale went with-in two lengths of him earlier this year at the same venue. We'll look to the suitable class and good gate to assist in racking up his first win at the track.
The Pontiff takes over on Terkel and he could continue to improve.
7. FOXY COMMANDER - 2. PALMDALE - 4. TERKEL
Troy Turner guided the former-Sydney sider Rosini to a 2L 5th behind Helenus Miss last start. She's fairly talented and that experienced coupled with a good second up record might make the difference.
Zedspiel returns after just falling short last Wednesday. His maiden win at Northam was solid and this doesn't look to be a much tougher assignment.
Sheer Logic has made the trip from Kalgoorlie where he ran a couple of races full of merit. Despite failing at Northam this is a weak field.
8. ROSINI - 7. ZEDSPIEL - 6. SHEER LOGIC
He's been touted as a superstar, tipped as a good thing on a Saturday, tried over a distance and overall proven he's a enigmatic galloper. Regardless he's shown glimpses of what is a good horse and despite being 7 runs in, he's capable of beating these.
Kersley's galloper Global Flirt who has been low-level flying of late in better grade. He gets his chance to add another win to the campaign.
Amber's Kingdom will have to overcome a wide draw but does have Paul Harvey to assist.
6. THE WEAPON - 1. ASK ME NICELY(NZ) - 3. AMBERS KINGDOM
i agree though, is flying and should add another win next start (and repay the punters from saturday) :(
R5 Ningaloo Blitz to run a big race fresh. Raced without luck in some strong races last campaign.
Anyway all good for the proper punters
Only bet was Terkel, nearly fell over when saw the price, backed it earlier in the day on tote and thought that 4.50 would have been around the mark, crunched into 2.30
