Update: that one to Nick Daicos has burst into contention.

Incredible strength. What a wonderful tribute.

Very good debut win that by Job Done in what looked a strong maiden. Looks like a horse that will be better over further than today's 1000m, too. Tipping plenty of 2YO's will be hard to beat vs the older horses in coming weeks.

Pick of the jump-outs from last week: Cran - Empire Song (H9), Written Perfect (H10) Pak - Ten Deep, Shidan (H4), Omaha Dawn (H6), Bold Secret (H7) Ararat - Struggle Street (H1), Aqueduct (H3) Wang - Rentessis (H5), Big Star (H7) Werribee - Navy Nina (H1), Cavalla Veolce (H6).

Matt Laurie has had a terrific season. Treasurethemoment has been the star, but Laurie is striking at over 20% - the second-best strike rate among the top 20 in the Victorian Trainers’ Premiership, behind only Grahame Begg.

Gee, he’s absolutely airborne, B Allen. Already notched a treble at Sale. That was a beautiful ride on Chausette.

A look back at how Vic tracks played last week and a few horses that might be worth following in similar sort of company.

Still can't believe Winning Toast got beaten first up at the good odds.... That was another authoritative win there at Ballarat.

Good, aggressive ride early there from D Moor on Terilee, probabaly the difference between winning and losing.

No surprise to see those wider lanes right in play at Bendigo with the rail out 9m.

Outstanding back nine that from Adam Scott.

There was loads of ground to cover after an eventful weekend that produced a host of key talking points. LISTEN BACK 👉 rsn.net.au/news/rsn-podca… Michael Felgate | Mick Sharkie | Matt Welsh | bet365 Australia | #RacingPulse

Terry Henderson, the OTI team and their loyal owners put a heck of a lot into racing, both here and in the northern hemisphere. Great to see them enjoy such a big victory on the world stage.

Proposed new GRSA lay betting rule update👇 . GRSA should have faith in its integrity & surveillance that such blunt measures discouraging ownership & wagering aren't required (owners = punters/punters = owners). Betfair entitled to use available levers to push back.

Knobelas couldn’t have been afforded a better run in transit and entitled to win dictating off that dawdling tempo, but she’s looks to have plenty of upside and might measure up to much better races in time.

The last at HQ today is an absolute cracker. Good test for both Fildelo and She’s An Artist off booming Bendigo wins. Both ooze potential; hopefully they bring their A-game and measure up against a handy group of 3yo sprinters.

Oooh, she could be really good, She’s An Artist. That was impressive.

A few notes on how Vic tracks played last week (8/6-14/6) & a couple of horses to follow. Wary of big margins on the Ballarat Synthetic & can also be forgiving of those back in the ruck. Pak Synth is playing perfectly.

Sharp performance that by Bacash. Yet another 2yo winner for the Hayes boys…

That's a terrific ride by Chelsea Jokic on Makusha at Echuca. Leaders went too slow in front so she seized control mid-race - the difference between winning and losing.
