Inter Dominion Heat 1 preview

Karloo Mick and Changeover look the 2 best chances in this heat. Karloo Mick should be over his recent niggles now being at home on the beach. Changeover was a last start winner in NZ before making the trip over for this. I Am Sam has drawn nicely with the pole and should be able to find the lead and run a cheeky race. Mr Feelgood cant be left out of the equation either, along with Be Good Johnny who couldn’t have drawn any worse (inside back row) but has the ability.

Placings: 1. Atomic Ark 2. Changeover 3. I Am Sam

Early markets: Changeover 2.00, Karloo Mick 2.70, Mr Feelgood 7.00, I Am Sam 12.00, Be Good Johnny 17.00, Atomic Ark 26.00, Ohoka Utah 41.00, Baltic Ice 51.00, Tee Pee Village 51.00, Panorama Swing 101.00, Mystical Warrior 201.00, So Deep 201.00, Fifty Gorillas 201.00

Inter Dominion Heat 2 preview

Blacks A Fake and Smoken Up are both highly favoured in this race. Blacks A Fake should be able to roll to the front from gate 4 and then it will be all over. Smoken Up‘s horror run of bad draws in Inter Dominions continues here (inside back row) and Lance will need to get away from the inside early or else he maybe be find himself buried away 3 or 4 back on the pegs, and with Harold Park not having a sprint lane it make the task all the harder. Lance will need his full bag of tricks for this one. Best of the rest is Sammy Maguire, Pembrook Benny and Magic Operative who all look the best chances to fight out the minor prize.

Placings: 1. Blacks A Fake 2. Our Awesome Armbro 3. Smoken Up

Early Markets: Blacks A Fake 1.45, Our Awesome Armbro 6.50, Game Safin 101.00, Smoken Up 7.00, Pembrook Benny 8.00, Magic Operative 8.00, The Gunstar 51.00, Sammy Maguire 51.00, Genuwine 101.00,Cullens Legacy 101.00, Mystical Warrior 201.00, So Deep 201.00, Fifty Gorillas 201.00

Inter Dominion Heat 3 preview

Monkey King looks best of this field on latest Australian form, after winning the Miracle Mile and an Unlucky 4th in the Victorian Cup, and should be far too good for these. Cincinati Kid has been low flying of late winning the Ballarat Pacing Cup and then a Free For All the following weekend on Hunter Cup night. Next best chances go the way of Lonestar Legend who came to Australia from America with huge wraps and Tanabi Bromac who has been racing in consistent form back in Victoria.

Placings: 1. Monkey King 2. Hava Bonvoyage 3. Tanabi Bromac

Early Markets: Monkey King 1.22, Cincinnati Kid 6.00, Tanabi Bromac 13.00, Cant Bluff Me 17.00, Lonestar Legend 26.00, Few Good Men 34.00, Boris Badenov 34.00, Hava Bonvoyage 51.00, Our Malabar 51.00, Our Brahman Boy 101.00, Mystical Warrior 201.00, So Deep 201.00, Fifty Gorillas 201.00

Inter Dominion Heat 4 preview

This heat should be a race between Bondy, Baileys Dream and Washakie. Bondy should be able to fly the mobile and find the lead here with ease and after his front running performance in The Hunter Cup should be first past the post. In saying that Baileys Dream and Washakie are both not without a chance. All reports from NZ are that Baileys Dream is burning the track up and recently held off Monkey King in a recent exhibition trial, coming home in 57.8 last quarter in 27.6. Keep Safe. Washakie has been racing in great form winning the Perth Pacing Cup and then having no luck in the Hunter Cup and he can be a big player in this series.

Placings: 1. Bondy 2. Washakie 3. Baileys Dream

Early Markets: Bondy 1.65, Washakie 4.20, Baileys Dream 5.00, Karlsruhe 15.00, Western Cam 17.00, Pacific Charm 21.00, Notaswethort 34.00, Prince Benji 71.00, Virage 101.00, Fox Valley Appeal 101.00,
Mystical Warrior 201.00, So Deep 201.00, Fifty Gorillas 201.00
