Best Bet Kalgoorlie r5 Prize Pursuit ; He was never going to lose last start and with the same weight , perfect barrier and almost identical strength of opposition ( you could argue it’s weaker) , it’s not hard to see why punters have zeroed in . Love Drunk Baby looks the only possible threat . Perhaps he can lead from the inside depending on what the enigmatic Sneaky Fox does . With normal racing luck Prize should be gunning him down regardless.

Best Value Kalgoorlie r6 STARTTHEFRIAR ; If he runs up to his best at his favourite track and distance he runs an almighty race at odds here. He’s runs since winning last years Hannans 12 months ago have been average however he is a quirky horses for courses animal that either runs a cracker or flops badly. I’m generally concerned about his 2nd up record and his attitude , he could be looking for the retirement paddock but this is the race to find out if he’s got anything left to offer. Small each way play. If Excellent Dream backs up from Thursday then he and Yeah Dardy have the obvious form lines for novelty players.
