Race 1
Race Summary: GLAMORZ brings the best form into the race and should be the one they all have to beat. HEAD GIRL is overdue but after showing good pace, inevitably tires in the closing stages every time. She must get it right one of these days. CHAKPORI hasn't been too far off in her last three and has the pace to prove effective in this type of race. SUNKA WAKAN seems capable of better and must improve with a 4kg claim and plum gate. QUEEN OF ICE is a steady improver and needs to be considered for trifectas and quartets.
Selections:
#4 Glamorz, #8 Chakpori, #6 Head Girl, #2 Sunka Wakan
Race 2
Race Summary: NDAKA has drawn well after starting from a wide gate last time out over this track and trip. He is a poly specialist and could be hard to catch if getting his nose in front. MASTERBLING is in hot form having registered two wins and a second in his last three. If in the same mood he could add to his tally. LOVE IN WINTER takes a slight drop in class from his last start but has yet to win on this surface. TRAFALGAR SQUARE has drawn widest but if overcoming the draw should be in the firing line as he loves the course and distance. RHYTHM isn't without claims either.
Selections:
#2 Masterbling, #1 Ndaka, #4 Love In Winter, #7 Trafalgar Square
Race 3
Race Summary: FIELD MARSHAL is going about it the right way. He was well-supported and won as expected but has more to do at the weights. Still, he rates the one to beat. Fellow three-year-old JAHAM is also improving and carries a light weight. If he takes to the poly he could make the frame. RICCARDO is never one to ignore. He can boast a strong finish off a fast pace and from draw one should be right there again. WOODLAND GLADE is also versatile and showed she can go further too in her last start. If not minding the drop in trip she could get away.
Selections:
#4 Field Marshal, #6 Jaham, #1 Riccardo, #7 Woodland Glade
Race 4
Race Summary: AMOR FATI stayed on behind useful looking Isikwishikwishi and gives the impression he will appreciate the longer distance. He looks well-placed but this is a handicap and he will probably need to eke out more of an effort. CHILL IN THE AIR and BRAVE BOMBER are steady improvers and could be looking for this trip. BRAVE BOMBER has the better draw but only the race will show which one of the two prefers the poly more. RACING BOY wasn't disgraced in his penultimate but didn't enjoy it last time. He could go better on this surface.
Selections:
#4 Amor Fati, #3 Chill In The Air, #1 Brave Bomber, #6 Racing Boy
Race 5
Race Summary: Competitive sprint. DRIVE BY wasn't too far off when pitted against males last time. She should go well back against her own sex. PURPLE FLOWER finished a clear second best in her last start and that entitles her to respect. She has drawn widest but it doesn't look an insurmountable task in this field. EDGE OF TOMORROW didn't run too well on her poly debut but that was over further. She should prefer this shorter trip. BLUSH OF DAWN is holding form and has a plum draw to boot. PERFECT TRUST can pop up from gate one.
Selections:
#4 Drive By, #8 Purple Flower, #5 Edge Of Tomorrow, #2 Blush Of Dawn
Race 6
Race Summary: LUCRATIVE was an impressive winner of her last having had to fend of older rivals. She steps up in trip and tries the poly, but could be even better suited. SKYTRIX was able to notch up her second career win when trying the poly for the first time. In that race she met JAZZ DIVA and POURSOMESUGARONME who could be more of a threat at the weights this time. She has, however, drawn well and looks to have some more to offer. STATE SECRET disappointed last time out but is worth including as she does have ability.
Selections:
#5 Lucrative, #1 Skytrix, #7 Poursomesugaronme, #6 Jazz Diva
Race 7
Race Summary: FRENCH FLAME confirmed his ability with two solid efforts in decent company. He is best weighted and if taking to the poly could record his second career victory. SAVANTRIX is also turning in honest and fair performances. He gives the impression he will enjoy the step up in distance but has drawn widest. Wide open past these. All three Mike Miller runners, NINETY NINE HEROS, SALT 'N PEPPA and NATIONAL AWARD have decent form and need to be taken seriously. KING'S ISLAND and HEAVEN'S WILL show good pace and should be in the fight for prize money.
Selections:
#1 French Flame, #8 Savantrix, #5 King's Island, #6 Salt 'N Peppa
Race 8
Race Summary: CALLING ALL ANGELS showed grit to win her last start. She is taking on males but carries a light weight and jumps from gate one. KING BAVARIAN can't be faulted on current form and he too should go well from a plum draw carrying just 53.5kgs. Watch out for GALAXY EXPLORER who ran a fair race only tiring late after dictating matters. He could step up on his previous poly effort. WAVE WARRIOR has run two good seconds in a row with a wide draw the only worry. QUERARI'S DREAM has been a little disappointing but the switch to poly could see some improvement.
Selections:
#6 Querari's Dream, #2 King Bavarian, #8 Galaxy Explorer, #10 Wave Warrior
Best Win: #4 GLAMORZ
Best Value Bet: #6 QUERARI'S DREAM
Best Longshot: #6 QUERARI'S DREAM
