Race 1

Shezza Vinny (5) Freshened and goes well in that condition. Can run top three with the right trip
Haley Robyn (2) Good draw will help and should begin quickly. Looks a nice each way bet here
Million Dollar Chic (8) Getting better with racing and wide draw the only concern. Place chance

Race 2

Leithen Louie (2) Will head forward early and has winning claims with no attackers. Has to be included
The Wulver (3) Has early speed to be one of the leaders and will be fitter. One for longer odds here
Captain Amore (7) Improver from last campaign and a solid top three chance here. Needed in this

Race 3

La Dama (1) Has been freshened and at her best would go close in this. Good run expected. Include
To The Moon And Back (8) Finally delivered last start and a threat to these with a good run in transit
Nubliah Chamay (3) Good beginner who will get a soft trip here. Can sneak into the top three with luck

Race 4

Foxfire Easton (5) Solid effort in a stronger race last start and a winning chance from the draw. Include
Dare Devil (3) Has ability and only needs a run closer to the speed to be right in it here. Win chance
Hazer (1) Out of form but improver with a place chance at longer odds from the draw. Small track suits

.

Race 5

Franco Ezra (2) Fought on last start in a stronger field. Top selection in this from the draw. Needed
Rock Band (7) Had excuses last start but was too good for them. Good each way chance again here
