Race 1
10 Artmore

A lot to like about the first up run for the new stable last time and should be improved from that run too. Might need a little luck from the second row but with clear air will prove very hard to beat.
Selections: 10-6-8-7-5

Race 2
1 Jonjondogoosehasgone

Prepared to just put a line through the last start when galloping. Much better when second to a good one the start prior to back up some good trials. Right draw, right race and should really be delivering victory here.
Selections: 1-6-7-10-7

Race 3
2 Bob Barrelit

Looks to have a fair amount of ability but still very much in the learning process of the racing life. Good chance here to get a win on the board though in a wide open field, especially if able to do everything right.
Selections: 2-4-6-8-10

Race 4
5 Montage

Interesting runner in that he looks a really handy horse but fails to show it sometimes on a race day. Great opportunity here though to get into the winning groove in what is a wide open affair. Aggressive drive should get it done.
Selections: 5-8-6-11-3

Race 5
12 Bring On The Muscle

Much more like it last time out with a really impressive victory. Perhaps the penny is finally starting to drop and if he's able to repeat the effort here today then it's going to be very hard to anything else to stop him.
Selections: 12-11-6-2-13

Race 6
3 Captainshavetime

Smart type from a very good stable ready to strike here. Excellent effort for third on debut against a handy field and looks set to have the measure on most of these without too much issue. Hard to stop.
Selections: 3-1-9-12-6

Race 7
10 Sky Rocket

Expecting sharp improvement from the handy run fresh up last time out. Didn't get all the luck in the world on that occasion and does possess a bit of ability. Good enough to be considered a strong winning hope in this.
Selections: 10-9-11-8-2

Race 8
4 Jordy

Escapes the Country Cup make up for this assignment today and continues to race really well. Hasn't been far away behind some really good types and if able to get a little luck in the running could win this at a nice price.
Selections: 4-7-2-8-5

Race 9
4 Snap Shot

A very impressive maiden winner on debut last time out and showed some real speed to get the job done. Doesn't appear as though the next grade up is going to worry too much and if able to be handy turning for home can win again.
Selections: 4-5-8-6-7

Best: 1 Jonjondagoosehasgone (Race 2)
Next: 4 Snap Shot (Race 9)
Value: 5 Montage (Race 4)
