This Saturday sees the penultimate meeting of the season at the Esperance Bay Turf Club. The six event card kicks off at 2:19pm with the running of the G. J. Gardiner Homes Maiden over 1200M. Hearts Aflutter is a first starter who will exit barrier two. Of the raced brigade Tropical Time and Time To Front are clearly the hardest to beat, both with recent minor placings to their credit. Ace Pilot is another who wasn’t far from the action last start. A small field of five will clash in the Lucky Roe Snack Bar Handicap which will be run over 1600m and only two stables will be represented. Just Sue is a track specialist and she is proven over the mile distance. Stable-mate Stormy Express has been racing well while the other stable-mate Ears Loppy needs to improve. The pick of the Fiona Scott pair is probably Observation given that Shaun Meeres has opted to ride him ahead of Mufasa.
Race Three kicks off the Quaddie and is sponsored by Esperance Window Tinting. Expedition has been alotted a hefty 62kg witha a claiming apprentice given the ride. Summer Crossing, Ready Freddy and Landmark Lady are recent winners and Decryptor perfomed well first up. The fourth is the South Coast Food Services Handicap and Boyne River will take a power of beating. The five year old mare has been thereabouts without winning and she deserves a break through. Speedsters Tashi Delek and Corolla will go forward and give bold sights and Kaszanka ran on strongly over 1000m last start.
Race Five is sponsored by OD Transport and South East Petroleum. Numbers 1, 2 and 3 are clearly the best credentialed and look to be a solid Trifecta bet. Time Star won well two starts back and Perelmo was victorious three starts ago. Elljay on the other hand has two wins and a third from his three Esperance starts. Alevanta is a roughie with a place hope. The last is over 1600m and is sponsored by Star Transport. Leidenwin only won a Maiden last start but she was very impressive and must be considered despite rising in class and distance. Go Fury Go and Royal Wing boast solid form and the likes of Star Ruler, Flying Duel and Platinum Lad deserve consideration for exotic calculations.
Early selections ; Ace Pilot, Just Sue, Summer Crossing, Corolla, Elljay and Leidenwin.

ALBANY - Sunday - Wolfe could have a monster day.
Trainer Steve Wolfe looks set to open the program with The Pupster resuming after one start earlier in the season. With the scratching of Stripped Bear The Pupster looks the one to beat over Sudden City who was a nice run at Mt Barker and Dominator. Wolfe has a strong hand in the second which is a very open race, with Lunar Park knocking on the door, and Jobeth and deutant Raucous Laughter with claims. The Bing ran a nice race at Pinjarra first up and has prospects along with Kirov park and Missy Lara.
The Developer is an interesting runner in third after racing against the likes of Ranger and Playing God last preparation, and expect him to improve on his first up run. Other chances include Wolfe"s Solid Dan, Golden Glory and Jordi. Belles Fury at her best would be a prospect but has disappointed at her last few. Homest galloper Timely Reign looks suited at the 1600m and will be hard to beat in the fourth, with stablemate Regal Miss, Movie World and Savage Wolf the main dangers.
Wolfe will have the two main fancies in the fifth in track and distance specialist Watson's Bay and Our Ol Fella who has been racing in the city. Hard to see the winner coming from the remainder of the field. The sixth is very open with many winning chances including One Talk, Redford, Stormystory, Alabamaramer, Lily La Bell, Nutopia and Russian Rouge. It should be ach-way the field and you should get value if you find the winner.
Carry The Nation a winner at Bunbury on debut and Ancient Spell will head betting in the seventh and after competing against each other in a recent trial will be hard to split. Starline Porche, Jeneviv St Pierre and Legal Agent also have prospects. The final event has many chances with the winner likely to come from Cho Son, Head To Hell, Call Me Ned. I'm Called earl and King's Tribute. Cho Son has mixed his form but Kyra Yuill is back aboard, Call Me Ned is racing in great form as is King's Trubute. Dark Humour may get out togood each-way odds in the last and should not be overlooked
