Thoughts .... and may the selections prove mostly right in the New Year 

R1: Babies - according to the betting, it does look like a 4-cornered conquest - I tentatively select Custodian

R2: Imo Anahita will win easily after not having things going her way in her last run; dangers could be Liefling (bound to improve) and Onceinabluemoon, who is the value from a good draw

R3: Jaffa has a wide draw, but does come into 8 (and there is a long straight) - I think he will prove hard to beat over 1600; Lance Alot is probably the biggest danger, but it does seem that the stable elect is preferred from jockey arrangements 

R4: Merryweather on her last run (from a wide draw) does look to have the best credentials; Mocha Frappe a danger as he is improving and gets weight (as a 5yr old gelding from a 3-yr old filly)

R5: Imo both Kudzu and Player are big runners - as the favorite might be too short (especially as it is trying 1600 for the first time and imo did not beat a lot in his previous 2 wins); Max the Magician is often thereabouts and will feature

R6: Open contest; Dimako's Jet, Future Date and Artic SIlver often placed and looks the safest from a BP and PA perspective; Art Nouveau (looking at jockey arrangements) will probably need ths run 

R7: Another open contest; not sure if Top Shelf Teddy is a worthy favorite; I do prefer Littlemissspendid at the odds and Surprise Party can also feature 

R8: Sounding like a stuck record (for those that are familiar with the 'older technology'), but this is open again; I do prefer Crepuscolo from Casus Belli

R9: Jockey arrangements tell us that Al Greenga is preferred to Russina Nobility, but both are drawn a little wide, so I think that Magic Carpet Ride can follow up over the extra trip on her last win

Enjoy

Ocean mistress for me in the 1st 

ANAHITA

KING'S COLOUR @ 50/1 worth a nibble.

Thought space mission looked well

The field of race4 doesn't look all that strong. BUDDY BOY should win this.
