Race 1
Race Summary: MME HUNTRESS has run well in both her starts so far and could take out this opening event. UNDERDOG has shown some improvement of late and should fight out the finish once again. ECHOES OF WAR showed improvement in his second start and could have more to follow. WINTER WEDDING is improving and can get involved with the finish yet again. Watch the betting on newcomers SAMUEL SHARPE, OVER SENSIBLE and SEVEN TIMES RED.
Selections:
#13 Mme Huntress, #2 Underdog, #12 Winter Wedding, #7 Echoes Of War
Race 2
Race Summary: VAMANOS has improved with each start and could go one better over this course and distance. RENDEVOUS IN RIO is knocking hard at the door and can get involved with the finish yet again. DONDOYAKI has not been reliable but does have a winning chance. PLEIADES STAR showed improvement last time out and has a place chance. GIRL IN VERDITE was not beaten far on her debut and should be a threat to these rivals. RED SECRET did not appear to like the soft track last time out but ran well on debut and is not out of it.
Selections:
#4 Vamanos, #18 Red Secret, #5 Dondoyaki, #14 Girl In Verdite
Race 3
Race Summary: A quality field and an interesting race. Most of these runners will be using this race as a preparation run for the feature races next month. RACHEL WALL is clearly very talented and does look the one to beat. FROZEN FANTASY has run some good races this year and was not disgraced and is best weighted so must be respected for that. RIFLE QUEEN is unbeaten in two starts and could be anything. ARASHI seems better than what she showed last time out. MISS NOVAX won nicely on debut but did not really repeat it second time out.
Selections:
#3 Rachel Wall, #5 Arashi, #2 Rifle Queen, #1 Frozen Fantasy
Race 4
Race Summary: WAR SUMMIT seems better than his last run. The step up in distance could suit him. TEXAS MISSILE showed improvement second time out. This longer distance should suit him but he is not well drawn. EUPHRATES and CUZZIE have improved of late but might need to do a bit more to actually win this race. They, could, however, earn some minor money. TRIP TO PEACE is in good shape and can get involved with the finish yet again. THOONSIL could like this longer distance and has a place chance. FUTURE SUCCESS and ASIAH'S TIARA are also capable of winning some money.
Selections:
#4 War Summit, #5 Trip To Peace, #8 Texas Missile, #9 Thoonsil
Race 5
Race Summary: Some improving sprinters and a competitive handicap. TOP DIVISION is clearly better than his last run would suggest and he could bounce back to score. RAFA BAY has improved of late and has more wins in him. TWENTYTWENTYVISION is consistent and would not be a surprise winner. FIFTY WAYS was a disappointment last time after a solid enough win in his penultimate start. INAFIX is in good shape and is not out of it. VANAKKAM showed improvement when scoring a maiden victory but tackles stronger. NOU PRAAT JY was a well backed debut winner and could be anything.
Selections:
#3 Top Division, #1 Rafa Bay, #8 Nou Praat Jy, #2 Twentytwentyvision
Race 6
Race Summary: Some improving sprinters go to post for this. CONSTELLATION has done little wrong of late and can complete a hat-trick. WAR OF KINGDOMS probably just needed his last run. It was a good performance and he may well go one better this time. GIMMETHEGOODLIFE is improving and won a good race last time out but he does give weight away to his rivals. DONTSHOOTTHEBARMAN is usually competitive so should be respected for that. KING OF VENUS is consistent and has a place chance in this line-up.
Selections:
#11 Constellation, #10 War Of Kingdoms, #1 Gimmethegoodlife, #4 Dontshootthebarman
Race 7
Race Summary: SHADOWFAX returns from a break but he is talented and can score over this track and trip. KING HARALD is weighted to beat him based on some good performances this year and deserves the utmost respect. THE LAST DUKE has not done much wrong so far and can be competitive yet again. GOLDEN OPERATOR returned from a break for a good maiden win and could be well better than his rating. YIPPEE KIYAY and BLIZZARD QUEST have struggled of late but are capable of improvement and cannot be completely written off from winning.
Selections:
#3 Shadowfax, #6 King Harald, #1 The Last Duke, #5 Golden Operator
Race 8
Race Summary: A weak and very competitive last race and a wide spread of runners may be needed for this leg of the Pick 6. MAVERICK QUEEN was a well-backed winner of her latest start and may have another win in her tank. PEREGRINE FALCON is consistent and that could be rewarded with a victory soon enough. FALCON STRIKE has improved this year and is not out of it. PHALA MILLIONS is in good shape and could contest the finish again. GOLDEN ASPEN likes this track and could earn some more money. JET CAT seems better than a modest last run. DARING ACT won his last start but is not consistent. SAHARA DAWN is another to consider.
Selections:
#2 Maverick Queen, #3 Peregrine Falcon, #5 Falcon Strike, #6 Phala Millions
Best Win: #13 MME HUNTRESS
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #4 WAR SUMMIT
