Blue Diamond Day

Big day of racing headed by the G1 Blue Diamond Stakes.

Caulfield:

R1: 1. Hillfa

Good run first up, and well off with the claim here. Doesn't meet a whole lot here, and should charge home.

R2: 7. Divine Madonna

A lot to like about this filly. Top first up record, Listed race winner at Sandown last start, just ticks all the boxes. Drawn in the car park but should get back anyway.

R3: 8. Mr, Murphy

Should be at any old price, but with little pace here, if Boss goes forward should be hard to run down. Recent form hasn't been too bad. Hasn't won in ages but I think this is his best chance, as only has 53.5 Kg.

R4: 4. Thin And Crispy

Every man and his dog wants to be on God's Own, but at $1.75 he is a lay IMO. Goes from 1000-1400 and I think is generally overrated. Hard to pick a winner outside him, but Thin And Crispy is in form and won a similar race last start. Empress Lily also a chance.

R5: 5. Casual Pass

LOTM is a top horse, and could well win, but second up over 1800m is a risk. Happy to be on Casual Pass at 4th run in, ran well in the Orr, and $8 is a reasonable price.

R6: 3. Due Sasso

Was leaning towards Satin Robes earlier in the week, but am keen on this guy now. Has done everything asked of him and his win in the Prelude was most impressive. By Scenic so shouldn't be a problem at 1200m. Wonderful World is a silly price at $5. Very open race, and no surprise to see a winner at odds.

R7: 12. Perpugillium

Not with much confidence. Absolute lottery race.

R8. 7. Virage De Fortune

Load up!

R9. 13. Queen of the Hill

Should be a little too classy for this lot.

At Rosehill, I love Court's In Session in the Apollo, like At Ease in the Triscay, and think Regreagan will be hard to beat in the Silver Slipper.

Best of luck punters.
