Race 1 @11:24AM SCHWEPPES HANDICAP (1100 METRES)

COSMOPOLITAN GIRL (1) did a good job to win second-up then measured up to stronger grade when a solid second here last week. Draws well and with the claim is a good chance. EX SPORT GIRL (4) is coming through the grades nicely and was a tough winner here two weeks ago. Up 2.5kg but has strong claims. RUMOUR SAYS (3) gave away a start when resuming so was not disgraced beaten under two lengths. Fitter for it and one of the main hopes. POT SHOT (2) and DEEP ENVY (6) are next best.

Race 2 @11:59AM TABtouch - WESTSPEED PLATINUM HANDICAP (1600 METRES)

CALL AGAIN (2) is a front running type and led them up in this class two weeks ago when a solid third over 1400m. Down slightly in weight and a mile no issue. Good chance. AWESOME CHATTER (1) disappointed last time but is down in class on it and previous effort has him right in the mix. FOREVER DREAMING (3) had her chance when favourite last time but was not beaten far. Might be looking for the mile now and stays under notice. SESSIONS PEAK (4) and GUARD THE SAFE (5) have claims. 

Race 3 @12:37PM FURPHY HANDICAP (1200 METRES)

BRAVE VENTURE (2) is a promising type resuming and was unbeaten in two runs last time in. Likely drifts back from the wide gate and should be hard to hold out fresh. MICHELADA (3) was too good with an all the way win at Belmont first-up. Draws to be right there again and no reason she couldn't go on with it. MISS FIELD (4) started favourite in the same race and might have overdone it a bit in the run. Has to be included in the chances. SUPPORTIVE (8) and LEGACY OF TARA (7) have cases too.

Race 4 @1:17PM AMELIA PARK LAMB HANDICAP (1800 METRES)

CLASSIC ROGUE (2) was a winner here two back at 1500m then ran on well into second at a mile two weeks ago. Drawn well and ready for the extra trip. Good chance. CISCOJOE (6) comes through the same race and while he had his chance he stayed on well. No speed here is a plus for him and he's right in it. FLOWER IN THE WIND (8) was 1500m up to 2200m when third here last time out and hit the line well. Back in trip and drawn wide are minuses but not out of it. WEE RIPPER (3) and SAID NO ONE EVER (5) are next best.

Race 5 @1:57PM AMELIA PARK BEEF HANDICAP (1000 METRES)

SNOWDOME (4) was excellent in an all the way win over this course last week and drops 1kg for his trouble. Drawn to lead again and take some catching. STATE OF POWER (5) hasn't raced since September but has a consistent record and while only one from three first-up she can run well. SAVAGE ONE (1) is resuming and is yet to miss a place fresh. Only unplaced once in 12 starts last time in so while this is short of his best he can't be left out. THOMAS MAGNUM (8) and MAN CRUSH (7) can run well.

Race 6 @2:34PM V&V WALSH HANDICAP (1800 METRES)

WICKED FOX (13) is up in class but doesn't run bad races and she's down in weight. Drawn ideally and proven at the trip. Can measure up. TENACIOUS REWARD (6) is in good form and he chased hard when placed over a mile here two weeks ago. Draw doesn't help but has a case. NEVER SOBER (3) is fitter for two runs back and was close up at Pinjarra last time. Should run the best race of this campaign. RUSTY SPIRIT (8) and HE'S A LUCKY LAD (1) are each-way chances.

Race 7 @3:13PM AMELIA PARK-KARRAKATTA PLATE (1200 METRES)

LIVE TO TELL (6) is clearly the horse to beat but will be conceding a start. Soft winner first-up then a long way back but rounded them up to win in the last stride two weeks ago. Hard to hold out. SUPER SMIRK (7) won well at Pinjarra before having her chance behind Live To Tell but was only beaten narrowly. Nicely drawn again and has to be respected. SNOW PRINCE (1) will need a bit of luck from the wide gate but he's racing well and closed off nicely when third in the Perth Stakes. Keep in mind. RIPCORD (2) and WILEY GIRL (9) are among the chances.

Race 8 @3:50PM THE TABtouch QUOKKA (1200 METRES)

The richest race ever run in Western Australia, the TABtouch Quokka. AMELIA'S JEWEL (14) has been beaten once in eight starts and it was a very soft first-up win at 1100m two weeks ago. Fitter for it, 1200m suits and she'll be storming down the outside. Clearly the horse to beat, lack of tempo her biggest threat. BELLA NIPOTINA (10) has two Group 1 placings in Victoria from three runs back and was excellent at Moonee Valley. Every chance from an ideal draw. KEMENTARI (1) is always a chance and has a great first-up record. Nice trial leading in and is right in it. UNCOMMON JAMES (4) and OVERPASS (2) can aslo threaten.

Race 9 @4:25PM THE TABtouch JOEY (1200 METRES)

ACROMANTULA (6) is racing in super form at the moment and was brave in the Roma Cup last time. Can stretch to 1200m if he's given peace up front and should go well. COMFORT ME (1) is fitter for a solid effort in the same race and an extra 100m is in his favour. Must be respected. REVITUP (12) got a long way back and made some ground first-up in the Roma Cup. Usually races on pace so can improve. BABY PARIS (13) has strong claims and LET'S GALAHVANT (8) can run well fresh.

Race 10 @5:00PM CROWN PERTH HANDICAP (1400 METRES)

TOP OF THE POPS (3) suggested a win is close with his nice second-up effort when narrowly beaten. This looks suitable and should take beating. KNOT SECRET (6) ran on okay in the same race when resuming and will be much fitter. Draws the inside and is a threat. ADVANCED (4) has a handy fresh record and if he has any luck he can be hard to hold out at the finish. BLAZING TYCOON (5) and SNEAKY FOX (7) are going well in easier races and are hopes.
