Race 1
Race Summary: A tough card. ARCTIC WIZARD showed promise on debut and has a winning chance if fit after a break. There are numerous first-timers in this race and KING'S QUEST and POWERFUL could prove serious rivals. THOMAS JENKINS is a Buffalo Bill Cody colt and could be worth following after this run. CITY OF PORT LOUIS was slowly away on debut and is likely to show vast improvement. LET IT BE SAID found trouble on debut and could improve. EXPRESS YOURSELF was supported to win on debut and should improve after that experience.
Selections:
#1 Arctic Wizard, #10 Powerful, #2 King's Quest, #3 Thomas Jenkins
Race 2
Race Summary: LA PULGA has run well twice and can go one better this time. PLEASE BE TRUE ran well on debut and should be right there at the finish. LATE DECEMBER has been fair in three starts and can contest the finish again. BOUNDLESS ENERGY showed promise on debut and can do even better this time around. WAR HAWK and PINOT GRIGIO were not beaten far on debut and could have place chances. Watch the betting on the newcomers, particularly MY ARCHANGEL and RIVER HAWK.
Selections:
#2 La Pulga, #7 Please Be True, #8 Late December, #9 Boundless Energy
Race 3
Race Summary: LANDOFTHERISINGSUN showed good improvement on a modest debut when third last time. He has a bad draw for his jockey to deal with but he can score. CUMBRE VIEJA is in good form and is well drawn so should be right there at the finish yet again. CHALICE FORT showed some improvement last time and is capable of earning some minor money.

Selections:
#11 Landoftherisingsun, #10 Sound Of The Sea, #9 Joueur De Flute, #2 Cumbre Vieja

Selections:
#14 Spirit Guide, #8 Fastnet Filly, #4 Jet Green, #2 Pink Moon

Selections:
#9 Charlotte Bronte, #10 Golden Grey, #13 Amancio, #2 Champonelle
Race 7
Race Summary: A tough race as some in-form runners have wide draws to deal with. FLY FUTURA is in very good form and is threatening to win but it will not be easy from draw No 14. NIGHT BOMBER is better than his last run would suggest but also has a terrible draw. MY BESTIE is in good heart and can earn some money. RADICCHIO has done well this year and is not out of it. MONT LOISIR could benefit from a patient ride this time. SHAVOUT is unreliable but did run well last time. PRIME VENTURE won well last time out and could follow up.
