Race 1: TABTOUCH DOWNLOAD THE APP TODAY HANDICAP (1400m)
With the late scratchings of King Brew and Bannered, thisrace shifts significantly in favor of Artistry In Motion. He is theclass runner here with a 68 rating and benefits massively from Chanel Cooper’s2kg claim, bringing him to a very manageable 58.5kg. He has a strong 57% careerplacing rate and won impressively over 1685m last prep before being sent for aspell. Zorbrist is the saver, having run a game second at Geraldton laststart.
- Recommended Bet: High (2 Units) — Artistry In Motion ($1.95)
- The Danger: Zorbrist — Settles behind the pace and runs home gamely.

| Runner | Odds | Comment |
| Artistry In Motion | $1.85 | The clear class runner with a vital weight claim. |
| Zorbrist | $3.60 | Consistent type coming off a solid second. |
| Playing Quest | $5.50 | Ran on late last start but might find these too sharp. |
| Jazalot | $8.00 | Front-runner who will need everything to go right. |
| Others | $101.00+ | Hard to see the roughies figuring here. |
Race 2: COUNTRY COMFORT PERTH MAIDEN (1600m)
Midnight Star finds a perfect race here to break hermaiden status. Boasting a 70% placing rate and with William Pike in the saddle,she is the standout. She grew wings late to just miss out at Pinjarra Park twostarts back and the mile suits her perfectly. Arizona Sky is the obviousthreat, coming off a huge effort to fly home for second at Belmont.
- Recommended Bet: Best Bet (3 Units) — Midnight Star ($2.65)
- The Danger: Arizona Sky — Second-up and looks ready for the step up in trip.
Framed Market (105%)
| Runner | Odds | Comment |
| Midnight Star | $2.20 | Professional placegetter who should finally win. |
| Arizona Sky | $4.20 | Big effort last start and the Williams yard is flying. |
| King of the Town | $6.50 | Strong run last start; nicely positioned here. |
| Thor's Angel | $12.00 | Unlucky not to place last start but faces a tougher task. |
| Others | $31.00+ | Field drops off quickly after the top four. |
Race 3: VALE BILL POPE MAIDEN (1300m)
The scratching of Premium Boy and Playa Del Sol leaves UniversalTalk as the primary on-speed interest. He’s a "sixty-sixpercenter" for the frame and was narrowly beaten for third last start atPinjarra Park. He will roll forward and be hard to catch. Boutique Belleis the danger; she flew late for second last start and gets Pike for the firsttime.
- Recommended Bet: Medium (1.5 Units) — Universal Talk ($7.00)
- The Danger: Boutique Belle — Enormous market support and the Pike factor.
Framed Market (105%)
| Runner | Odds | Comment |
| Boutique Belle | $2.10 | Likely favorite after her eye-catching finish. |
| Universal Talk | $4.50 | On-speed type who is rarely far away. |
| Prince of Dala | $7.00 | First-starter for a smart yard; watch the market. |
| Photosynthesis | $10.00 | Made up ground when the race was over last start. |
| Others | $26.00+ | Looks a race in two for the main chances. |
Race 4: ESSENTIAL AIRCOR SERVICES MAIDEN (1300m)
I’m siding with Valid Point here. While he only has a25% placing rate, the combination of Paul Harvey and a drop back to theScarpside track after showing best work late at Albany is compelling. He’ssecond-up and should be peaking. Land of Nod is the saver; Pike stays onfor the Williams yard despite a plain debut.
- Recommended Bet: Bet (1 Unit) — Valid Point ($3.20)
- The Danger: Land of Nod — Settled too far back on debut; expect improvement.
Framed Market (105%)
| Runner | Odds | Comment |
| Valid Point | $3.10 | Classy jockey/trainer combo peaking second-up. |
| Land of Nod | $3.50 | Williams/Pike combination always respected. |
| Unimando | $6.50 | Challenged for the front and tired late last start. |
| Quiet Goddess | $12.00 | Weakened out last start but second-up now. |
| Others | $21.00+ | Roughies need to find several lengths. |
Race 5: SWAN DRAUGHT AVAILABLE ON TAP MAIDEN (1300m)
Special Counsel is a high-confidence play. Hedisplayed a brilliant turn-of-foot for second last start and retains WilliamPike. He’s second-up and looks the winner. Lord Momo is the primarythreat after showing a huge effort to fly home for second on debut at Bunbury.
- Recommended Bet: High (2 Units) — Special Counsel ($2.35)
- The Danger: Lord Momo — Huge debut run; should be in the finish.
- Bomb: Big Mare ($9.50) — Visors go on today; could be a surprise packet.
Framed Market (105%)
| Runner | Odds | Comment |
| Special Counsel | $2.10 | Standout performer second-up with Pike. |
| Lord Momo | $4.80 | Model of consistency in trials and debut. |
| Bondi Business | $8.00 | Second-up and has shown pace previously. |
| Big Mare | $11.00 | Gear change might unlock the hidden talent. |
| Others | $31.00+ | Hard to build a case for the long-shots. |
Race 6: BELLES PARK TRAINING AND AGISTMENT HANDICAP (1200m)
Toronado Rocket stands as the class of the field. Hehas a 57% placing rate and is well-weighted after Holly Nottle’s 1.5kg claim.He was very good when finishing second last start at this track. BarneyRommel is the danger, having stormed home to win on debut before a solideffort at Ascot.
- Recommended Bet: Medium (1.5 Units) — Toronado Rocket ($2.35)
- The Danger: Barney Rommel — Consistent type who will be doing his best work late.
Framed Market (105%)

| Others | $26.00+ | Tough ask for the rest of the field. |
Race 7: A1 LOCKSMITHS HANDICAP (1500m)
With the scratchings of Javelin Strike and Rosentrea, thisrace opens up for Sky Poet. He won well on debut at this track and is a50% placer. He had no pace early last start but ran on well. Effortlesslyis the clear danger; she stormed home to win on the line last start and Pikestick with her.
- Recommended Bet: Bet (1 Unit) — Sky Poet ($4.80)
- The Danger: Effortlessly — Pike factor and a last-start winning profile.
