Race 1
Sargent Best (7) In form driver takes the reins and has to be a good chance again here. Needed
Topaz (9) Disappointing last start but could bounce back in this weaker field. Has to be included
Lord Mudrick (3) Better than the form suggests and could be the early leader. Winning claims
Race 2
The Bloss (5) Quick beginner who might try for the front here. Hard to beat if she leads up
Natives Inferno (9) Drawn wide but has the motor to threaten here. Good chance with manners
Boyz Invasion (13) Racing fairly and normally holds his form. Chance here at longer odds
Race 3
Lizzie Shelby (3) Driver change and better draw might work the oracle. Should race handy here
That Is Love (10) Fence draw but not the worst if she gets a gap in the straight. One for odds
Eyeliner (6) Has been getting back in the running but might be different tactics here. Needed
Race 4
Reklaws Dream (4) Running big trials and likely to race close to the speed. Top selection in this
Bronski (6) Getting better with racing. Last run not bad and should be improved. Place chance
Bad Habits (7) Looks well suited here after racing stronger fields. Wide draw but good chance
.
Race 5
Harrison (1) Speedy beginner drawn to suit. Big chance in this with a soft lead or trail. Needed
