Race 1

Showcase (9) Has been racing better fields. Should run top three with the drop in class
Mandala (6) Stable respect but only racing fairly. Chance with an improved effort in this
Sure To Rise (2) Getting better with racing and likely leader early. Can stick on for a place

Race 2

Haley Robyn (3) Best draw for the last couple of starts. Has to be included on this track
Fernz Goldy (8) Will be fitter but wide draw a concern. Look for her to be running on late
Raknruin (6) Was a bit disappointing last start but better than that. Top three chance here

Race 3

Share A Dream (2) Beaten by a good horse last start and better draw. Good run expected
Shergar (4) Ok last start and a threat to the favourite with a good run in transit. Include
Rakamick (9) Has been disappointing. Can sneak into the top three with his best effort

Race 4

Clotilde Wainwright (10) Solid second last start and a win chance from strike rate stable
The Merc (12) Better run last start. Should give a good account if he steps away cleanly
Majestic Challen (8) Out of form but not the worst if she brings manners One for odds

.

Race 5

Glenkenick (4) Fought on last start in a similar field. Good chance if put in the race early
She’s A Jewel (12) Had excuses last start in a stronger field and well placed here. Needed
Cold Pursuit (3) Will be fitter after last start. Front row draw and top driver booked.

Race 6

La Dama (1) Trialling like she will win a race at short notice. Hard to beat against this lot
Bill Bootit (3) Should get a soft run handy. Winning claims from the draw. Include in this
Markthewarrior (9) Due to show form and drawn behind the favourite. Could surprise

Race 7

Major Burns (6) Consistent form and should give a good account again in this field
