RACE 1 – CHOICES FLOORING NORTHAM PACE
1.Shannon Suvaljko (Twentynine Twelve): “Draw is perfect. Working well and ready to win.”
2.Michael Grantham (Good Times Ahead): “If the one hands up to me I will be hard to catch. We will push the button early.”
5.Aldo Cortopassi (Pradas Ideal Dahling): “Looks a good race for him and will roll forward.”
10.Greg Bond (Courage Tells): “That’s his draw. If he gets clear running he should be competitive.”
11.Kyle Harper (Charlie El): “Should get a soft trip in a pretty even sort of field. Good place chance.”
RACE 2 – CHOICES FLOORING BUNBURY PACE
1.Kyle Harper (Black Jack Zac): “Each way all day. Draw and distance suits.”
2.Gary Hall Snr (Mister Bushido): “Should lead. His run in the Free-For-All was good. He’s an excellent front runner. Hard to beat.”
3.Ross Olivieri (Gee Jay Kay): “He might need the run.”
7.Ryan Warwick (The Black Cardinal): “Draw makes it hard.”
11.Gary Hall Snr (Our Rhythm N Blues): “He should get a good run. Could get the one-one. He’s going okay.”
12.Shannon Suvaljko (Qtown Rip Roaring): “Needed the run last week. Will be better off here. Can be close up with luck.”
RACE 3 – VALE LYN NORMAN PACE
1.Aldo Cortopassi (Cyclone Banner): “Gets his chance. Can hold the front or sit on While They Pray.
3.Aiden De Campo (American Delight): “Good race. Will be driven cold first-up and improve with the run.”
5.Greg Bond (Infatuation): “Horse is going great guns. Hard to beat the one from the draw. He’s going to win more races going forward.”
6.Gary Hall Jnr (While They Pray): “Will need luck from the draw.”
9.Shannon Suvaljko (Arma Indie): “Very good mare. Unlucky with the draw. But always dangerous.”
RACE 4 – CHOICES FLOORING MYAREE PACE
1.Mitchell Miller (Destined To Rule): “Barrier draw helps. Lacks any gate speed. Likely to be two or three back the fence.”
2.Kyle Harper (Son Of A Tiger): “Each way. A lot of respect for Stroke Of Luck. Will be a good test to see where we are at. Plan to lead.
3.Shannon Suvaljko (Cut Above): “Racing very well. Last two runs have been career best. Trainer doing a terrific job with her and will again run a good race.”
5.Aiden De Campo (Parisian Partygirl): “Racing well. Needs things to go her way.”
6.Gary Hall Snr (Tuas Delight): “Needs a draw. He’s just a bit one paced.”
7.Gary Hall Snr (Extreme Prince): “Hard to see him winning. Stroke Of Luck just looks a class above.”
10.Ryan Warwick (Mattjestic Star): “Will definitely get cover this week and I expect that should result in a higher placed finish.”
11. Chris Voak (Stroke Of Luck): “Son Of A Tiger looks like he’s going to have an easy lead. We’re going to have a cosy run in behind. He was tested last start. I think if he produces that performance again he should be hard to beat. I think he’s my best drive for the night.”
RACE 5 – CHOICES FLOORING JOONDALUP PACE
1.Aiden De Campo (Bettor Be Oscar): “Racing really well. First time in FFA. Drawn to be prominent.
2.Ryan Warwick (Im Soxy): “Brian tells me he’s going as well as when I drove him last. It will be good to get back behind him.
3.Murray Lindau (Chiaroscuro): “I’d say he’d have to have a look. He’s got the toe out of the gate to capitalise on lobbing in front.”
4.Shannon Suvaljko (Rock Me Over): “First-up. Probably needs a run or two to come up to his best in this company.”
5.Ross Olivieri (Motu Premier): “Good each-way chance. Feels like he’s come forward from the first-up run. Showed enough gate speed last start to consider doing it again.”
6.Aiden De Campo (Handsandwheels): ‘Excited to have him back. Will run a good race but will definitely improve from the run.”
7.Chris Voak (Vultan Tin): “Last start improved 30-40m on past performances. He’s done it before where he improves in one run then in his next run he can improve that much again. If he found the front again he’d be hard to beat.”
8.Chicago Bull (Gary Hall Snr): “He’s going well. He’s been impacted by the small fields. If Handsandwheels gets an easy lead we will be in trouble. I can’t fault him.”
RACE 6 – CHOICES FLOORING GOLDEN SLIPPER
2.Shane Quadrio (Black Jack Baby): “I couldn’t be happier. She’s absolutely flying. She’s got blistering gate speed. Voaky will make the decision. There’s no need to change her normal driving pattern.”
3.Jocelyn Young (Powerplay): “I imagine we may work forward early. Place chance if he settles close enough.”
4.Murray Lindau (Talks Up A Storm): “He trialled pretty damn good on Sunday. I don’t feel there’s any issues left. He’s really well within himself. We’ve got to go forward and have a look.”
5.Kim Prentice (Carabao): “We might come out and try and find a spot without trying to do too much. He will be there if he’s good enough.”
6.Greg Bond (Give Us A Wave): “I will leave it with Dylan. I think we’ve got to come off the arm and have a look though. It’s a two-year-old race though so things can happen.”
7.Aiden De Campo (The Good Life): “Awkward draw but still think the horse has the ability to be in the finish.”
8.Ray Jones (Lavra Joe): “He’s going very well. He’s feeling well. The draw hurts him but we will play it by ear.”
9.Justin Prentice (Mighty Ronaldo): “Hasn’t had any luck on the back line. Good horses in front makes it tough. We are going to rely on luck.”
10.Greg Bond (Jett Star): “We will be disappointed if we get locked away on the fence. I’m upbeat on him. He’s got versatility.”
11.Kat Warwick (Machnificent): “He’s going really well. He’s a clever little horse. He’s healthy. He’s fit. He’s ready to go. It does help when you draw a little further up in the field.”
12.Shannon Suvaljko (Robbie Rocket): “Okay draw for him. Racing and working extremely well.”
RACE 7 – CHOICES FLOORING BUSSELTON PACE
1.Aiden De Campo (Walsh): “Good draw. Racing really well.”
2.Michael Grantham (Major Shard): “Very consistent. Probably end up in the one-two. It could be a rail dominated affair.”
3.Aldo Cortopassi (Art Tutor): “Going well. Top 3 chance again.”
7.Ryan Warwick (Whoswhointhezoo): “Needs everything to go his way over the short distance.”
8.Gary Hall Jnr (Bolta): “Will need plenty of luck from the draw.”
9.Kim Prentice (Extradite): “Got to go back from there.”
10.Ross Olivieri (Boom Time): “He should get a lovely run to be in the money.”
11.Shannon Suvaljko (La Sulieman): “Racing well. Will be tucked away and will come home again.”
RACE 8 – CHOICES FLOORING ROCKINGHAM PACE
1.Aiden De Campo (Mandy Joan): “Should be able to hold up from the one. Will be hard to beat from there on recent form.”
3.Michael Grantham (Countess Grace): “No back line. We will go straight to the rail.”
5.Shannon Suvaljko (Our Amazing Grace): “Ready to win a race. Wait until she draws.
9.Aldo Cortopassi (Westburn Yield): ‘Looks hard from out there.”
RACE 9 – CHOICES FLOORING OSBORNE PARK TROT
5.Michael Grantham (One Bid Buys): “Going very well. Likes the stands. I think she can run third.”
8.Ross Olivieri (Mr Sundon): “Got a big handicap. He shouldn’t be able to win off those handicaps but he does show his class in the wins. Trial was good.”
RACE 10 – CHOICES FLOORING MIDLAND PACE
1.Justin Prentice (The Stars Above): “Good draw. Look to lead and give him every chance. Hopefully in front he should settle well.”
2.Gary Hall Snr (Alta Blues): “As good as anything in that race. They’ll know he’s there.”
3.Shannon Suvaljko (Valentines Brook): “Racing super at the moment. Not a bad draw. Good speed on early and is a good chance in this race.”
5.Justin Prentice (Manning): “He went well last start, He’s had no luck with draws. It’s a good field. I think he’s a winning chance.”
6.Michael Grantham (Power And Grace): “Super horse. Had his ups and downs. Mike took him home after last start and reckons he’s ready to rock and roll.”
