Australian thoroughbred meetings are today held at Warwick Farm, Mornington, Murray Bridge, Ballina and Kilcoy.
Warwick Farm Race 7 @ 3.45pm
Ladylovestogamble and Vitesse to contest the early lead. Many of the live chances come out leaving the race open for Threeood (6) who brings very good Saturday form to the table. Terrific effort last start when 2nd on a heavy track behind the promising Bound To Win over 1400m at Rosehill. Has a big weight to shoulder but she is very honest and her class will take her a long way. BOLLYWOOD (7) hit the lead at the furlong and looked the winner but found a couple better late in the piece over this distance at Scone last time out. Consistent filly who won't find this any tougher and she will be peaking today after three runs back from a spell. VITESSE (9) was held up at a vital stage then flashed home late but just missed out when resuming on a heavy track at Canterbury recently. Big threat with that run under the belt. CAPRI OF TUFFY (13) will improve today after a sound first up effort. SELECTIONS: #6 Threeood is a terrific chance in a far easier race today.

Warwick Farm Computer Card - June 8
Mornington Race 5 @ 2:45pm
The Great Bratski is the likely leader from Rolling Moss. More Sundays (11) returned in good order just missing on the synthetic as favourite and has better grass ratings. He's a second-up winner drawn well with a handy 3kg claim. Gets the blinkers again and looks the one to beat. ROLLING MOSS (1) led and was this grade comfortably at Cranbourne off a forgive run. The 3kg claimer has to push forward from a wide gate but he's capable of making the finish. ZAIDIN (8) gets a wide gate but is busting to win and the 3kg claim brings him right into it. MISS POLANSKI (13) resumes off the big CL1 win when heavily bet. She needs to be kept well onside. SELECTIONS: This is a very tough program. #11 More Sunday's looks a solid e/w bet in Race 5 and doubt the wet track will bother.
Ballina Race 5 @ 2:50pm
Jacksprat can lead from Yes Kurt. Group Think (3) was threatening to win at the mile and then was okay at the middle distance the latest at Doomben. Has switched from the Edmonds to the O'Rourke yard and will be better back to this trip and grade on the 26 days return. Has trialled and looks the one to beat. A MILLION DREAMS (1) missed a lip twice and then had excuses when a well-bet favourite on the heavy at Coffs. Draws low with a 2kg claim and is feared. NO HARM DONE (10) ran his best race placing at Ipswich in Maiden grade. Will push forward and won't be far away. MAQUINA VOLADORA (4) should be ready to show her best and won't be far away as well. SELECTIONS: Keen on #3 Group Think to win.
Murray Bridge Race 3 @ 2.25pm (AEST)
Loose Lip Lloyd and Gangster Rap from wide gates will press on for the early lead. Golden Ripples (10) was caught on a limb and couldn't run on when resuming over 1200m at Gawler last start. Finished 3rd at Morphettville when second up last prep. Suited by the step up in trip and enjoys the run of the race just behind the speed from an ideal alley. WURLIES LASTCHANCE (8) has recorded a couple of minor placings at huge odds since returning from a long spell, the latest a fast-finishing 2nd over 1200m at this track. Will be peaking now - the wide gate is her biggest problem. FOLLOW THE PROMPTS (4) was never on the track but didn't lie down when beaten just over 2 lengths over 1200m at Strathalbyn recently. Has placed at this trip and will be at his best following two runs back. Another with wide barrier issues though. CAPRICORN RIDGE (9) whacked away to finish 4th at Morphettville last time over 1250m. Tackling the older horses today but keep him in mind. MR WOLF (11) on debut for the McEvoy stable must be monitored for market confidence. SELECTIONS: #10 Golden Ripples is outstanding each-way value.
Kilcoy Race 1 @ 12:37pm
Booming Town may be the one to lead but not clear-cut. Booming Town (3) led and found one better at Doomben and then mucked the start at the Sunshine Coast and forgive. He finds easier grade and can win running along from the handy gate. KERBSIDE KAOS (1) needed it first up in stronger and then ran into the placings at Gatton. He can use the low gate and won't have to improve much to make the finish at a price. SQUARE DANCE (8) draws low and is quick. He is in good hands an no surprise to see the colt make quick improvement. FILLYRAE CYRUS (9) didn't have the best of it resuming at Doomben and has trialled well since. The blinkers go on and he would be a chance finding her best. SELECTIONS: A tricky card. #3 Booming Town is suited around the Moonee Valley of the north and looks well-placed.
