Race 1
Race Summary: GOT THE LOOK and improving VIXENS WAR have shown enough to play leading roles but well-related newcomer REET PETITE won't need to be special to make a winning introduction, especially if the market speaks in her favour. WITHOUT REMORSE, GIN PALACE and first-timer SOUTHAMPTON complete the shortlist.
Selections:
#9 Reet Petite, #1 Got The Look, #6 Vixens War, #5 Southampton
Race 2
Race Summary: KISSES and QUEEN REGENT have finished 2nd in back-to-back recent starts so neither would be winning out of turn. SOUTH OF FRANCE and EISTEDDFOD also have the form and experience to play leading roles. Watch the betting on newcomers RED BERYL and ONSSILVERJET.
Selections:
#2 Kisses, #5 Queen Regent, #6 South Of France, #8 Eisteddfod
Race 3
Race Summary: Newcomers WATERFRONT, PRIMAL INSTINCT and PEACE ON YOU are bred to be useful so any market support would speak volumes for their chances on debut. MAN OF CONSEQUENCE, PRINCE OF EGYPT, ETERNAL DIAMOND and DAY IN DAY OUT have shown enough to acquit themselves competitively. TYPICALLY FRENCH is drawn wide but benefits from his rider's 4kg claim so could get into the mix.
Selections:
#2 Primal Instinct, #7 Peace On You, #1 Waterfront, #5 Prince Of Egypt
Race 4
Race Summary: NANNIE GOLD didn't go unnoticed on debut despite a slow start and with natural improvement she could fight for victory. MORFELIHA and ALESSIA ASHEVILLE have the form and experience to make their presence felt too. However, well-bred newcomer XTINES PRINCESS won't need to be special to play a leading role on debut against this opposition. Watch the betting!
Selections:
#9 Nannie Gold, #7 Xtines Princess, #5 Alessia Asheville, #4 Morfeliha
Race 5
Race Summary: Competitive maiden. UNITED FRONT and GOLD GIBOSKI are closely matched on a 2yo meeting over this trip last season so there shouldn't be much separating the pair on identical weight terms. DIAMOND DAYS has a bit to find on the form of that race but is open to improvement after a subsequent gelding operation. BUGLE BOY fits a similar profile with blinkers and a tongue-tie fitted. Regally bred ZANFAN MORIS is worth a market check on debut and must be respected, even before any betting clues. SPANISH VERSE and DANCE TO THE SUN aren't taken lightly either.
Selections:
#5 Gold Giboski, #1 United Front, #8 Zanfan Moris, #3 Diamond Days
Race 6
Race Summary: ROCKANROLLIN was slightly disappointing last time over 1200m after a promising debut over that trip. However, this extended trip will be more to his liking and should unlock sufficient improvement for him to open his account. JOUEUR DE FLUTE and GALLIC FORGE are closely matched on the form of a recent meeting over this trip but the latter should have the edge on better weight terms. SUNSHINE SUPERMAN, BALZI ROSSI and KLEIN KAROO have the means to play a role in the outcome too. Look for improvement from well-bred SMARTEN UP.
Selections:
#3 Rockanrollin, #5 Gallic Forge, #1 Joueur De Flute, #9 Sunshine Superman
Race 7
Race Summary: Consistent MAJOR MASTER returns from a layoff but is distance suited and remains open to improvement. Progressive SPIRIT could have more to offer stretching out to this trip for the first time but a bigger threat will likely come from INDUSTRIALSTRENGTH who won on his reappearance after a gelding operation and should have more to give. Fellow last-start winner IT IS MY TIME is respected but worse off at the weights with stablemate DEVIL A SAINT.
Selections:
#2 Major Master, #8 Industrialstrength, #4 Spirit, #7 Devil A Saint
Race 8
Race Summary: James Crawford has a strong hand with 4 strings to his bow and his runners could dominate the outcome. Stablemates RARE EARTH and SIGNOR DANTE are lightly raced and expected to improve for the step up to this distance, though preference is for the former who receives 3.5kg and neatly drawn in gate No 2. NARETOI and TORI'S GIRL aren't making up the numbers and have genuine earning potential. FORT IMPREZA, BEAUTIFUL SIDE and MARINE MERCHANT can also make their presence felt.
Selections:
#2 Rare Earth, #11 Signor Dante, #3 Beautiful Side, #5 Naretoi
Best Win: #2 RARE EARTH
Best Value Bet: #2 PRIMAL INSTINCT
Best Longshot: #2 PRIMAL INSTINCT
