Race 1
Race Summary: Trainer Mike de Kock has his runners in fine form and FLYING HAFLA could be ready to score. She is improving and should like this course and distance. RUN FOR PEACE showed improvement last time out and could have more to offer. ART NOUVEAU has shown improvement on the Polytrack and can be a threat back on the grass. JOAN THE WAD and HURRICANE FLIGHT have had their fair share of chances to get out the maiden ranks but are capable of earning some more money. PERFECTLY PICKED also has a place chance.
Selections:
#3 Flying Hafla, #2 Art Nouveau, #4 Joan The Wad, #5 Hurricane Flight
Race 2
Race Summary: PERILLA is hat-trick-seeking after some nice wins of late. This is a tougher task but she could pull it off. THE GHOST was a disappoinment on the Polytrack last time out but should be a serious threat back on the grass. GET IN THE Q and SIMPLE SIMPLE both tend to lack strong finishes but are capable of getting into the mix of things. MALCOLM'S DREAM is unreliable but would not be a surprise winner. LITTLEBLACKVELVET is in good form and can fight out the finish once again.
Selections:
#5 Perilla, #7 Littleblackvelvet, #1 The Ghost, #3 Simple Simple
Race 3
Race Summary: A competitive start to the Pick 6. PROFESSOR LUPIN remains in good shape and can fight out the finish once again over a track and distance that suits. JET LEGACY broke a long losing run when scoring last time out and is capable of following up. MASTERBLING may prefer the Polytrack but that does not mean he cannot win this race. TRAFALGAR SQUARE is speedy when in the mood and the riders will need to keep in close patrol. MASK ON and the speedy TWENTY ONE MAY are two others to consider.
Selections:
#5 Professor Lupin, #3 Masterbling, #1 Trafalgar Square, #2 Jet Legacy
Race 4
Race Summary: BLOWIN IN THE WIND really does deserve a winning turn after three runner-up performances in a row. She should get the run of the race from her draw. CHAKPORI has improved of late and could be ready to score. LITTLEBLACKGEM showed promise in her first two starts but lost her way since then. She returns from a break and is not out of it. ROY'S RANGER makes her debut but keep an eye on her betting. SUNKA WAKAN is another that could make the frame.
Selections:
#1 Blowin In The Wind, #3 Chakpori, #5 Littleblackgem, #7 Roy's Ranger
Race 5
Race Summary: MISS MAYFLY showed vast improvement when runner-up last time out and should like this longer distance. She can go one better. TWILIGHT BAY has some fair form and could appreciated the blinkers which have been carded for her. FLYING REIGN STORM likes the Polytrack and could pop up in the finish. TAKATALVI did not show her best last time but can contest the finish. YELLOW JACKET is very unreliable but was only caught very late last time and is not out of it.
Selections:
#5 Twilight Bay, #4 Miss Mayfly, #6 Yellow Jacket, #3 Takatalvi
Race 6
Race Summary: LUCKY DOLLAR has done his very best around this distance and can bounce back to score. LORD WYLIE is not reliable but could earn some minor money. KUMEMORI is better than the last run would suggest and is not out of it. KIMBALL O'HARA and JOSHUA HOTSNAKE have both been in very good form of late and are both capable of winning. SALT 'N PEPPA could be the surprise package of the race with improvement expected.
Selections:
#1 Lucky Dollar, #4 Kimball O'Hara, #5 Joshua Hotsnake, #6 Salt 'N Peppa
Race 7
Race Summary: HIPPOCRATES did a bit too much too soon last time out. He has won four times over this course and distance and can make amends for the last defeat. PURPLE POWAHOUSE is on a very long losing run but is consistent and should fight out the finish again. KNIGHT WARRIOR is unreliable but is also not out of it. FUTURE FLO broke a long losing streak last time out and could follow up if in the same mood. TEEREX needs to do more to win but could play a minor role.
Selections:
#4 Hippocrates, #1 Purple Powahouse, #2 Knight Warrior, #3 Future Flo
Race 8
Race Summary: A tough and competitive race. THE MIKADO flopped last time but is capable of winning a race like this if showing his best side. FINE ADMIRAL has won over this course and distance but may be more lethal over a bit shorter. OFF LIMITS was a well backed easy winner last time out but did incur a 3-point penalty. TOM'S ACT, PORFIRIO and BOM BOM could all be included in larger permutations of the Pick 6.
Selections:
#2 The Mikado, #3 Fine Admiral, #5 Off Limits, #6 Tom's Act
Best Win: #4 FLYING HAFLA
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #2 THE MIKADO
