Belmont r1 Perfect Chant ; Won both trials by a margin , showing good early toe and kicking away late. Chris Parnham was on in the 2nd one and when she crossed to the rail late she looked much more comfortable. Chris sticks and she has enough speed to hopefully cross straight to the front and take running down on debut.
Belmont r4 Bondi Plunge ; Has always shown glimpses of Saturday ability and her first up win as a 4yo indicated she may be ready to take the next step . Should get every opportunity in the same grade with only 1/2 kg more weight. $2.60 is short enough however I can understand bookies being scared of any Dan Morton runner presently .
Best Bet Belmont r8 Man Crush ; Barrier 1 and no Pulli in the race means he finally gets a chance to lead on his terms. .Under those conditions he is always very hard to catch . Frigid is a nice mare but favourite over 1200m? Hopefully tops off a big day for Chris Parnham and Lucky Duck Tip Followers!

Rosehill r8 Bustling ; Moved to the Eastern States and already given an Everest Slot , WA’s dominant 2yo from last season has drawn perfectly to either towball Storm Boy into the straight or lead them up if he doesn’t cop too much heat. I couldn’t possibly get involved at the price , he’s WA form is nowhere near this level but if the leaders are dominating then the quinella with Storm Boy is worth consideration. $2 a place under favourable conditions would also be tempting , otherwise happy just to see how he goes towards other targets .
