  • Our picks for Greyville (poly) on Friday, note odds are correct as of 08:30 on Thursday 8th October but are subject to change

    • Race 1 Dembele at 7/1. Finished in the ruck well behind a useful one on debut. Should benefit plenty from that experience and if settling better today could be a factor in the finish.
    • Race 2 Tequila Sky at 9/2. Only 1 win from 20 and that was an awful long time ago but has been taking on far stronger without being too far back. 109 day absence to overcome and draw could have been kinder but still worth a nibble in this grade.
    • Race 4 Close Encounter at 13/10. First look at Greyville and the poly but form of a fair debut for new yard which came after a long absence has been franked. Draw 1 another plus with de Melo up.
    • Race 5  Star Of The Future each way at 10/1. Form can be in and out but is down in class and last win came in a stronger race off a 1 point higher rating than today
    • Race 6 What A Classic at 8/1. 2 good runs on poly and step up in trip should suit. Competitive race but not dismissed.  
    • Race 7 Kimball O’hara each way at 16/1, Collateral form lines suggest this is a value price. 4kg claimer has 2 win and 4 places from 12 rides.

    • Race 1 Skitt Smiling at 2/1. Beaten fav on last 2 starts following a good debut but still boats arguably the best form in the race and worth another chance.
    • Race 6 Calla Lagoon at 33/10. Had 3 rivals behind over track and trip last time out and whilst not weighted to confirm that form it was just his 2nd start since arriving from overseas and further improvement can be reasonably expected
    • Race 7 Walkinginthewoods at 9/10. Bolted up when backed on debut in a manner that suggests opening mark of 94 may be generous. Trainer also did well with the mare at levels above this, big player.
    • Race 9 Guerilla Warfare at 7/1. Last race may have come too soon, consistent as they come prior to that and well draw at 4, worth a small play in a wide open contest
