As we plough deeper into 2026 at a rate of knots we come across our old friend, the Thursday Night City meeting from Q2 Parklands. 11 races, earlier start time and therefore earlier finish. The first is schedule for 6:49pm and the last, 20 minutes past 10 o’clock. After a nice result last week we look to back it up with winners and banter if you’ve been tuning in to SEN TRACK 1593am from 6 to 10pm. Enough of my dribble, let’s talk the important stuff!

BEST BETS

R6 N5 SCENIC SUNDARI

Lightning beginner who lead last week before being run down by a smart type in good time too. Expected to lead again from a middle draw and give them a sight. Second 520m run should add strength and a better feel for the circuit. Minimal speed drawn alongside so praying for a clean getaway and holding on late. Great price!

R8 N8 CRAB POT

Boxed to perfection once again after saluting last week off the pink. Carved out good time in the process and should get a lovely run into the race from the seven who likes to be close to the rail. 2 wins and 1 minor off 3 runs from box 8, looks a juicy price considering a lot is in his favour. Deep race but huge chance.

VALUE BETS

R5 N5 FORGIVENESS

Massive overs in a race that doesn’t seem to be dripping in cream. Has good box manner and pace and can lead them up early. Lead three starts ago and ran 2nd to Henry Blake. 12 starts at the track for 0 wins and 4 minors, 4 of her 7 career wins have come from boxes four or five. Each way hope.

R9 N1 MUSTANG HAYZE

Fast animal who looks awful overs and a drop in class. Beat Daysea’s Rory two back and goes around tonight at $5 behind King of Gods. Doesn’t make sense. Speed in 2,3 & 8 but can lead this. Expect it to shorten closer to the jump, placed in 12 of 14 off the red. Yes please!!
