  • Race 5: SWAN DRAUGHT HANDICAP (CL1 1100m)The AnalysisRipper Rupert is a promising 3YO who fits our criteria perfectly. He has a 60% place strike rate (1-1-1 from 5 starts) and a rating of 61. He won his maiden at Kalgoorlie by hitting the line hard …
  • Race 8: TABTOUCH - STARSTRUCK CLASSIC (1600m)The Analysis:(2) MACHINE GUN GRACIE returns from a spell. While resuming at 1600m is often a query, her record at Ascot is phenomenal (3 wins from 4 starts). She is a high-class stayer in the making (Oaks…

  • Race 4: BRYSON CANVAS MAIDEN (1300m)The AnalysisViva Marconi has been costly for punters, but the numbers don't lie. He ran a stiff second at Geraldton last start when driven to lead, and prior to that was competitive at York. He has the speed to cr…

  • Race 6: WITTENS IRRIGATION AND DESIGN HANDICAP (1000m)The Analysis:This is the best bet of the day. (1) BRAVE VENTURE resumes here with a massive class advantage (Rating 74). He has to carry 61kg on paper, but the engagement of Zephen Johnston-Porte…
  • Race 3: GLENROY CHAFF MAIDEN (1800m)The Analysis:A midweek maiden over 1800m is usually a "stay out" zone, but (1) MACHO ARQUERO looks ready to peak. He has placed in 3 of his last 5 runs and is rock hard fit. His recent 2nd at Pinjarra over 2000m w…
  • Race 10: Bet Loop Handicap (1000m)The Analysis:We finish with a sprint where Richanco looks poised to strike. He is a winning machine with 6 wins from 11 starts (81% place rate). He is unbeaten first-up (3 from 3) and looked sharp winning a recent t…
  • Race 7: Schweppes Handicap (1400m)The Analysis:I'm looking closely at Our Paladin Al here. He resumes today but boasts an impressive 83% strike rate (5 placings from 6 starts). He flies fresh and has trialled well. If he is anywhere near his top, he…
  • Race 4: Quayclean Plate (1000m)The Analysis:This is a race where class should prevail. Castle Road drops back to his own age group after a gallant effort in the Listed Placid Ark Stakes where he led and was only overhauled late. He boasts a 54% stri…

  • Race 7: TABTOUCH BETTER YOUR BET HANDICAP (1232m)We finish with a progressive type. Questioneverything has started twice for a win and a second (100% place rate). The win last start at this track was arrogant. He rises in weight but looks to have ge…
  • Race 5: LITTLE CREATURES HANDICAP (1500m)This is the race of the day. We have two absolute standout "Fifty Percenters" clashing. Red Top (71% place rate) is a serious animal. He carries 63.5kg which is a concern, but his class edge is undeniable, an…
  • Race 4: CELEBRATE BOXING DAY AT THE ARC HANDICAP (1100m)My original ratings pointed to De Grandhomme (60% place rate), but his Soft track stats (8:0-0-1) are a flashing red light on a Soft 5. Instead, I’m pivoting to Secret Stones. This gelding is a…

  • Race 7: Class 3 (1400m)The Analysis:We close the card with (3) TRUE BLUE BONDI. He returned to racing with a very solid 2nd in this grade (Class 3 C&G) at Belmont two weeks ago. He strips fitter for that run, retains Pike, and maps to get the ru…
  • Race 4: Class 1 (1650m)The Analysis:This is the most fascinating race of the day. We have two fillies, (12) PONY UP and (11) KAZANA, dropping from the Group 3 Champion Fillies Stakes into a midweek Class 1. That is a gargantuan drop in class. While …

  • Race 7: ALCOA-BUILDING STRONG COMMUNITIES HANDICAP (2000m)The Analysis:I'M NIPOTE is rated 66 in a race with a minimum rating of 50, creating a massive class mismatch. He’s placed in Westspeed Platinum and CL5 races at Ascot recently. The 62kg is a …
  • Race 4: SUNDAY DEC 21 MAIDEN (1300m)The Analysis:A low-confidence race with many runners resuming. XELCIMUS put in an eye-catching 4th at Northam followed by a solid 2nd at Belmont. He has the advantage of race fitness over SEVEN CANDLES, who resume…

  • Race 6: RTG 58+ Handicap (1230m)The AnalysisSECRET STONES is ready to peak third-up. He flashed home for a narrow 2nd (beaten 0.1L) at this track over 1100m last start. The step up to 1230m is ideal for him. He meets a field where the class runner, …
  • Race 1: ACTIVE PLUMBING MAIDEN (1407m)The Play: A high-confidence anchor for the meeting. God's Grin brings superior provincial form (Bunbury/Northam) to this country maiden and the market reflects his dominance.HorsePriceAnalysisStrategy7. GOD'S GR…
