Race 1
Race Summary: ENCHANTING LADY has been threatening and deserves her maiden exit permit. SMASHING and FEATHER DANCER are showing up nicely while stablemate LA CHANCE is sure to improve on a fair debut. WAITFORGREENLIGHT is struggling to crack it but could get into the mix. Watch debutante JUST THE TWO OF US.

Selections:
#1 Enchanting Lady, #3 Feather Dancer, #2 Waitforgreenlight, #8 Just The Two Of Us

Race 2
Race Summary: If debutante THE CROWN attracts solid support then it could be wise to follow. ZENOBIA'S GOLD is improving with racing and could get off the mark. Stable companion LIKE A BUTTERFLY is also looking to improve and cannot be ignored for money. ILHA DA ORANGE should come on heaps from her debut run - respect. With a 4kg claim, DUCHESS OF SEVILLE could do better. The rest are hoping for minor money.

Selections:
#1 Zenobia's Gold, #8 The Crown, #7 Ilha Da Orange, #4 Like A Butterfly

Race 3
Race Summary: Tricky to assess. POLICY OF TRUTH has been knocking and could get his just reward. MASTERSHIP was given a long break after going wrong last time but is capable while the same applies to MOCHA FRAPPE who has shown promise - watch both. TROMBETTISTA did well after a lay-off and if fancied should make his presence felt. SALUTE THE FLAG is back on home ground and could get into the action while BATTLEOFBARBERTON could improve.

Selections:
#1 Mastership, #2 Policy Of Truth, #5 Trombettista, #9 Mocha Frappe

Race 4
Race Summary: Good race. DREAMLAND was hampered last time and could make amends. The rider appears to have opted for the mount as opposed to 'stable' entry SAN SIMON - watch. GREEN FLASH never recovered from a bump at the start last time but is better than that. TURBO POWER is holding form and cannot be ignored for money. MAX THE OTTER could make the Quartet.

Selections:
#1 Dreamland, #2 San Simon, #7 Green Flash, #4 Turbo Power

Race 5
Race Summary: TIME FO ORCHIDS is on for 4 straight wins, however, she has a hefty 62kg on her back giving WOMAN OF POWER 8.5kg which could make things interesting. GLOBAL THUNDER is honest and could challenge. WINGS WITHIN ME, WHITE HILLS and MYTHICAL DREM are more to consider for Quartets.

Selections:
#1 Time Fo Orchids, #8 Woman Of Power, #2 Global Thunder, #6 Wings Within Me

Race 6
Race Summary: MAURAUDING HORDE has come really well and should have no problem of disposing of this field. If he goes wrong then FUSHIMI INARI, who is running well, could take up the advantage. Stablemates, TO THE RESCUE and JORDAN, as well as THE BRIEF and PRINCESS KESH, could make the Trifecta.

Selections:
#3 Marauding Horde, #5 Fushimi Inari, #7 To The Rescue, #1 Jordan

Race 7
Race Summary: Competitive. RAFFLES needed his last run and should come on heaps. POORLITTLERICHGIRL beat TROIS TROIS QUATRE by a head last time and the 1kg difference could bring them together. VIVA BRAZIL is not out of it - it's her peak run and she sports blinkers, so respect. WILLOW'S WISH is a trier and with HOME OF THE BRAVE could make the frame.

Selections:
#2 Raffles, #5 Trois Trois Quatre, #8 Poorlittlerichgirl, #9 Viva Brazil

Race 8
Race Summary: KISSING MACHINE, HAPPY MO and SOUND MACHINE all strolled in opening their accounts and the one that comes on most could take the honours. OCTOBER FAIR was 2.50 lengths behind MIGHTY GODDESS but the 3kg difference could bring them together. COURAGEOUS and RADU could find money.

Selections:
#5 Kissing Machine, #3 Happy Mo, #1 October Fair, #6 Mighty Goddess

Race 9
Race Summary: MARY'S GREENLIGHT was narrowly beaten last time but drops back to 1600m and at this track should be right there. DONNA MO won impressively over 2000m last time but if settles will be grabbing them late. MIZZEN SAIL is no slouch and must be included in all exotics. ELEMBEE is running close up and should give another honest performance. DAMOSTAR and QUIET REBELLION could run into money.

Selections:
#1 Mary's Greenlight, #8 Donna Mo, #9 Mizzen Sail, #7 Elembee

Best Win: #3 MARAUDING HORDE           
Best Value Bet: #2 RAFFLES               
Best Longshot: #2 RAFFLES
