EAGLE FARM, SEPT 21: DAVID FOWLER SELECTS ...

By David Fowler | Saturday, September 21, 2013

Form assessed for a good 3.

RACE ONE:

Toss up between FLYING HOME (1) and MUKADDAMAH SON (2) but I'll be watching because there's no value either way and RAEBURN (4) should fill the third spot.

RACE TWO:

WRITE CHEEK (3) has run well in 2 runs this campaign and the step-up to 1300m will suit her more than some of her rivals. JACQUETTA (2) never runs a bad race and will get a good run in transit again. PICKABEE (6) didn't have a lot of racing room last Sat when 4th and can do better here. Rough chances 1 and 5.

RACE THREE:

BOREHOLE (4) has run well twice over the mile at Doomben, sustaining long runs from a long way out. Better suited now at 1800m and claim is also a plus. Keen to back on both totes. HOLLYWOOD BOUND was just touched off track and trip 2 weeks ago and hard to beat again while SOUL CRUSADE (8) has to be considered because he won that race. Rough chances 5, 6 and 10.

RACE FOUR:

ROCK HOME LATE (6) appeals here at very good odds fixed. Relishes track and trip and should secure an uncontested lead. Take running down. BILLY AUCASH (5) looked good D'bn 1350m win last start and strong hope again. HLUDOWIG (7) is finding the line well in his races and step up to 1500m no problem. Rough chances 1, 2, 3 and 4.

RACE FIVE:

Surely SHAZZLE PAZZLE (8) wins today after 5 consecutive 2nd's. This is her best distance and with the good gate and claim she'll be afforded all the favours. LOVE ROCKS (11) is fast and will lead them up while BUSHY (10) is 1st-up and obviously set for this. Respect, in good stable. Rough chances 1, 3, 5, 6 and 12.

RACE SIX:

OLLIE VOLLIE (1) is a grand veteran and is well placed with Aidan Holt's claim, 3kg above the limit … and he's racing well. ARADO (9) ran well 1st-up and excels 2nd-up and is very good value fixed odds. THEFT (3) should lead but not certain how well he is going. Rough chances 2, 4, 6 and 7.

RACE SEVEN:

Hardest race of the day but why can't QUEEN OF THE LOCHS (9) win again. Breezed in at Beaudesert at this trip then unsuited EF 1000m but class pulled her through and beat several of these. CANNYZING (2) is back from a hit-run trip to Sydney but EF 2nd 2 runs ago is the run to go on. FRIENDLY DRAGON (8) was solid at the end of 1000m EF last run. Rough chances 1, 4, 5, 6, 7.

RACE EIGHT:

Open. JUST A PERLA (7) bounces into a good spot here, likes 1400m and ran into a smart one latest EF 2nd. Appeals strongly on both totes. BIG DECISION (10) was solid this track and trip 2 runs ago and chance again. ELMANTOSH (8) has a bad gate but is promising and will find the line. Rough chances 1, 2, 5, 12, 13 and 14.

BEST BET: SHAZZLE PAZZLE (Race 5).

BEST EACHWAY: OLLIE VOLLIE (race 6).

BEST ROUGHIE: ROCK HOME LATE (Race 6).

QUADRELLA: 5, 8, 10, 11 / 1, 9 / 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 / 2, 7, 8, 10.
