Best Value: R5 Diedre Franco
Race 1
Carmen Lucia (10) Running home well late at Roxburgh. Should run top three here with manners
What’s The Whisper (9) Better run last start and more improvement to come. Stable respect here
Eragon (8) Getting better with racing and only needs manners to be a top three chance. One for odds
Race 2
Enoka (2) Has had exucses the last couple and easier here. Good EW hope and top selection for us
Mighty Flying Miki (4) Has early speed to be one of the leaders and will be fitter. Hard to beat
Brother Rob (12) Improver from her last start and placed on grass. Top three chance with luck
Race 3
Cinderella Franco (2) Looked good winning last start and should go back to back with a good trip
Burnham Girl (7) Ok last start and a threat to the favourite with a good run in transit. Include
Franco Seb (1) Good effort last start and better draw. Can sneak into the top three again here
Race 4
Our Twinkle (6) Solid pair of seconds last couple and wide draw the only concern. Will start short
Crackasky (2) Has gate speed and racing in good form for this. Should give a good account again
Cash Is King (5) Out of form but a place chance at longer odds after a change of stable. Roughy
.
Race 5
Diedre Franco (1) Opened over the odds and grass suits. Top selection in this from the draw

Race 8
Seaside Croft (7) Beaten by a good one last start and will be fitter. Wide draw but will press forward
