Tim's Tips for Blue Diamond Stakes Day

RACE 1: PONDALOWIE 1, Tonkin 2, Mrs Christie 3, Miss Aria 4

RACE 2:  WINNASEDGE 1, Don't Hope Do 2, Chinqui 3, Legio Ten 4

RACE 3: EMPHASIZE 1, Entrusting 2, Shanwah 3, Scary 4

RACE 4: TROPICUS 1, Lofty Arch 2, Polygot 3, Sergeant Major 4

RACE 5: TOO DARN LIZZIE 1, Treasurethemoment 2, Benagil 3, Perfect Picture 4

RACE 6: SEMANA 1, So Glamorous 2, Grinzinger Belle 3, Quintessa 4

RACE 7: MR BRIGHTSIDE 1, I Wish I Win 2, Tom Kitten 3, Private Life 4

What a star Mr Brightside is. As brave as ever in defeat in a tight finish first-up, he's won five of seven second-up and five of seven at the track and trip. Selects himself, onIy Wish I Win on ability can beat him and firm ground us against that horse.

RACE 8: CHERISH ME 1, Field Of Play 2, Tempted 3, Tycoon Star 4

Cherish Me has had a setback since her stunning debut win at Geelong in a good form race. Has trialled well, and passed a vet test on a foot niggle on Friday. Field Of Play is two for two and deserves to be favourite, best of the swoopers could be Sydney filly Tempted.

RACE 9: ESTRIELLA 1, Jimmysstar 2, She's Bulletproof 3, Rey Magnerio 4

Estriella was able to beat the fillies by leading but was brought undone when she stepped into the big league. Looked her old self ridden from behind in a recent trial and those tactics can see her win here. Stablemate Jimmysstar will get a long way back but likely to be a swoopers day owing to the strong north wind and he has the class.

RACE 10: TORRANZINO 1, Shaiyhar 2, Deny Knowledge 3, Positivity 4

Torranzino is ready for the 2000m and is twice a track and distance winner. This is a wide race with Group race winners Deny Knowledge and Positivity major players.

BEST BETS: Semana, Mr Brightside . VALUE: Estriella.
