  • Our picks for Saturday, note prices are correct as of 08:30 on Friday 23rd October but are subject to change

    • Race 4 Alpine Jet at 5/4. One of a few runners returning from a lay off, yard’s comments are bullish and she is a c&d winner
    • Race 6 Lost For Words at 28/10. Lightly raced mare who could still be ahead of current mark, 2 from 3 over c&d, decent comeback run latest, fitter today and Muzi Yeni retains the ride.
    • Race 8 Minerva Fae at 5/2. Returning from a break and may concede fitness to market rival Staggerwing but the pair are closely matched on past form and the selection arguably has the most scope for improvement after just 2 runs. Yard’s only runner on the day
    • Race 9 Major Arcana at 4/1. Good 2nd off a break last time out when slowly away in a slightly stronger race. Lightly raced 5yo, big player if jumping on terms. Jocky only has this ride on the card.

  • Our picks for Greyville, note odds are correct as of 07:00 on Saturday 24th October but are subject to change.

    • Race 3 Claw at 7/1. Good run off a break from a wide gate latest, Has won twice this trip, drawn 1 with a 4kg claimer on top
    • Race 4 Salani Kahle at 10/1. Something not right when backed latest, lightly raced c&d winner who we may not have seen the best of yet. Many rivals are Summer Cup entries who could be prepping, Player if last run can be forgiven.
    • Race 5 Master Bomber at 6/1. Has been running well from wide gates at and just above this level, drawn 4 today, many with chances but given a shout on consistency
    • Race 6 My Boy Lollipop each way at 16/1. Hasn’t threatened for some time and often slow away but mark has eased sharply and also down in class. Bounceback needed but Craig Zackey on board and connections had a winner here on Friday
    • Race 7 Volegov at 7/1. Down in class, probably needed latest, well drawn at 3
    • Race 8 Rushing Chimes at 5/2. Highly tried as a 2yo, st run off a break this season was aa cracker, mark unchanged, drawn 1 and Fourie up
