Race 2
Madison’s Moon (6) Disappointing last start but looks a good chance with no mistakes early on

Monsignor (8) Change of trainer. Look for a big improvement on previous form. Needed here
Race 3
Vintage Miki (7) Wide draw but was good in a stronger field last start. Short priced favourite here.
Hogie (4) Freshened but previous form good and should give the favourite a run for his money.
