R1- FINAL SERIES has strung together two nice wins since being ridden forward. Those two wins have also been since he was dropped back to midweek grade but what he has done suggests he’ll measure up in Saturday grade. He actually hasn’t put in a bad run at five starts to date but the way he exploded away from Miss Drakova two back and fight hard from the breeze last start has been impressive. Strikes a small field with no speed over 1400 as a more race fit horse than others in the market and races like the wet track will suit. Nice race for him.
R2- SAFETY BAY is a two time winner in these Westspeed Platinum races and finds another nice one for her here. Matched motors with Snipillicious first up over 1000m the whole way up the straight in a high rating race behind Premium Choice before dead heating with Gates Of Babylon last start beating home two subsequent winners. Can bounce out here to hold the leaders back and from there will just need a gap at the right time.
R3- SNIPAROOCHY was really good last start back to 1200 and back to her own age group. The stable have been attempting to ride her with a sit this campaign but her best run this time in was still three back when braining Speed Dream and Harmika from the breeze. Up to 1300 in a race with no speed and with Holly Watson on board expect they take their medicine and come out with intent. She beat a better field than this last start with authority and gets in with similar weight.
R4- Beat Bet: BUZZOOM is a filly returning from cardiac arrhythmia so ignore the fail last start. For whatever reason horses returning from arrhythmias seem to go really well and her trial a month ago was a classic Dan Morton quiet. Had the earmuffs on and he never moved behind Rokanori and Searchin’ Roc’s. Her first two runs this prep were super winning in this grade first up no trial before running second to Amasenus in the Marjorie Charleson beating Flirtini. Convinced she beats ANGELIC MISS and BRIGHT DIAMOND if they met in the summer F&M series and is almost three times the price. Good bet.
R5- MOJO RHYTHM looks like he wants a staying trip and should be ready for it after three mile runs. Beat the older horses in this grade three back before coming from last again for fourth behind Atlantis Beach. Came back to 3yo grade last start and just wasn’t brilliant enough with 60kg behind a couple of nice fillies in Zephyra and THE VELVET QUEEN who he does meet again here. Drops 3.5kg back against the older horses and feel the staying trip will allow him to show his best. Looks a three wide line race and that looks perfect for him from a wide gate.
R6- CHARMING BELLE was a complete forgive run last week against a good 3yo field. They crawled for a 1000m dash and she got keener than she did in a 1200m maiden first up and pulled her way to three deep on speed. She wasn’t beaten that far as a result of the tempo but she couldn’t let down like her opposition under the circumstances. Back to 1200 here in a race that should be run at an even tempo will suit her tremendously. There looks a spot for her midfield from the gate and if she can let rip like in her maiden she looks a little more progressive than this.
R7- IT’SARAYDAY is a good horse who can be forgiven for one bad run. His trial was super. His first up run was brilliant and rated through the roof but showed he probably had some improvement in him. Last start nothing really went right and he pulled up with excuses and with Hardly Ever bouncing back nicely after the same issue on the same day happy to trust Miller has him right here. Not sure where they ride him but again trust the stable can make the right decision.
R8- GOD HAS CHOSEN beat them and beat them well last start at his first crack at WFA. Copped a big whack from the handicapper that really hurts his Railway chances which is disappointing as one of WA’s more exciting horses. However at present time the performance sees him a short priced favourite in another G3. His best performances have been in fast run races which he won’t get here but he should still get an even tempo and looks like he can sit a bit closer here up to the mile.
R9- SAVANIK looks to have a bit better this time in. Was a really nice trial behind subsequent winner Mahaleo without the blinkers and went around a big price first up. Just wasn’t quite able to get over a race fit FEATHERWEIGHT who got all the favours. Meets him again here but with a weight swing in her favour and looks like potentially stalking him in run. Just needs to take that natural improvement to go that bit closer.

Especially early with Train on ironically the Fred train in R2.
Two live chances again for the man in form(in June 12 starters for 5 winners).

All in front of GHC his actions contributed to Porter to having to revert to riding for luck as by the time they had got to 600m---Rawiller was 4 wide going to take him nowhere he would finished in carpark if he attempted to go 5 wide.
Deserved a better fate couldn't fault the ride. The backers of Captain Chaos can thank Chris Parnham has a left hand because he was thinking of boring in.Chris straight at him with the left

I'm with you, have always rated him highly ability wise but has numerous tractability issues, if he ever put it all together is in the top few we have here.
Few jocks have changed tack from riding him I think, connection's should chase Ponty to have a steer...
