Heaven’s Mark (2) Ok last start and drawn to get a run close to the speed. Top selection in this
Louretta (3) Getting better with racing. Draws closer to the fence this time so could surprise
She’s A Major Act  (9) Depends on the run but top driver booked and a chance at longer odds

Yosemite (4) Freshened but has a reputation. Should go close in this with no mistakes early
Kracka Looka (5) Stable respect but no luck on the track yet. Chance here fresh up. Include
Edward Longshanks (2) Looks well suited from the draw. Racing in good form and a good chance
