Race 1
Race Summary: WINDS OF CHANGE was runner-up in both his starts and should go close to a deserved exit out the maiden ranks. DON'T CRY FOR ME was narrowly beaten on debut but could make amends. Watch newcomers especially SERRANO by new proven sire Buffalo Bill Cody.
Selections:
#8 Winds Of Change, #3 Don'T Cry For Me, #6 Serrano, #5 One More
Race 2
Race Summary: KINDRED HEART has been close up in all three runs and could have her consistency rewarded. BOSUM BUDDY was quietly fancied on debut and wasn't disgraced - she can only improve. MILO'S MILLIONAIRE attracted money on debut - look for improvement. MOTHER CITY hasn't been far off in all three starts and should run an honest race. Watch TAKE YOUR PLACE, who nearly surprised on debut and WILLOWILD - they race before. Respect money for the 5 first-timers.
Selections:
#5 Kindred Heart, #7 Milo's Millionaire, #3 Bosum Buddy, #10 Take Your Place
Race 3
Race Summary: Small but competitive field. OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE hasn't won in ages but is finding form and could get back on track. LEESON enjoyed the marathon trip and wasn't stopping when ahead of ARLINGTON ACTION last time. NAMAQUA BLOSSOM, CREPUSCOLO and NUCLEAR FORCE cannot be ignored for Trifecta money.
Selections:
#1 Out Of Your League, #3 Leeson, #2 Arlington Action, #4 Namaqua Blossom
Race 4
Race Summary: Not a strong field. LIKE A BUTTERFLY was a well-beaten second last time. VILLA SEMAYA has not been too far back to date and could get her just reward. BILINGUAL tries further again and has a money chance. KISS OF FIRE and MESSALINA are on the up and must be respected. Watch first-timer SNEAK PREVIEW.
Selections:
#4 Kiss Of Fire, #3 Like A Butterfly, #2 Villa Semaya, #5 Sneak Preview
Race 5
Race Summary: Stable companions ELEGANT ICE and ALABAMA ANNA could fight this out but on riding engagements the former appears preferred. However, she is a one-time winner giving her inmate, who is a five-time winner, 4.5kg. PLATINA PRINCESS shouldn't be far off on current form. SOLDIER'S EYE was backed last time but needed it and must be considered. GIMMEALIGHT, CAPE LIGHTS and BOLD ACT could make the money.
Selections:
#7 Alabama Anna, #2 Elegant Ice, #4 Soldier's Eye, #3 Platina Princess
Race 6
Race Summary: MOUNT PILATUS has the recent form and despite a hefty weight could take it. RICHARD THE FIRST showed inexperience in blinkers last time but expect big improvement. GALLADORN won easily as expected when opening his account and could go on. MASTER CHRISTMAS has improved and could feature. MK'S DREAMS and MUNCHKIN could get involved.
Selections:
#1 Mount Pilatus, #2 Richard The First, #6 Galladorn, #4 Master Christmas
Race 7
Race Summary: Again stablemates dominate - MISS HANNIGAN did well on debut in her new yard while NORTHERN KITTEN won at the second time of asking. EMPRESS GAME has another try over this trip which should suit - respect. QUE CEU AZUL, SUPERSKITT, FEELING GROOVY, SECRET RECIPE and TIME TO THE MOON are all looking for money.
Selections:
#3 Miss Hannigan, #5 Northern Kitten, #12 Empress Game, #9 Feeling Groovy
Race 8
Race Summary: DARING ACT is having his third run after a rest and gelding - be there. KINSHIN SHA was backed in his last race and showed improvement - he could make amends. AMBER ROCK disappointed last time but should be ripe and ready to show best form. IN THE ETHER and SAMOA cannot be ignored for money. INVENTRIX and TRE AMICI (bled last time) could make the frame.
Selections:
#2 Daring Act, #1 Amber Rock, #4 Kinshin Sha, #9 Samoa
Race 9
Race Summary: COPPER JOHN claims 4kg and should be the one to beat. EIGER SANCTION (a bit unpredictable) and GILDA GRAY (4-time winner) could mount challenges. GREEN SCEPTRE (claims 4kg) races before this where he meets up with FLAG BEARER - update the form. JP TWO THOUSAND could now be looking for the extra.
Selections:
#1 Copper John, #8 Gilda Gray, #12 Green Sceptre, #2 Eiger Sanction
Best Win: #1 COPPER JOHN
Best Value Bet: #2 DARING ACT
Best Longshot: #2 DARING ACT
