Race 1
Race Summary:
EASTERN HIGHLANDS is not well drawn but he did show good improvement last time out and can go one better. PLACE OF PRACTICE was not beaten too far on debut and is capable of vast improvement. BLAZING FURY was not disgraced on debut and has a place chance in this line-up. SUN IN MY POCKET is very consistent and should be right there at the finish once again. AMBER ALERT has improved of late and is not out of it. CAPTAIN VENTURA is improving and could also get involved with the finish.

Selections:

TRAIL RUNNER has a tricky draw for her jockey but is improving and does look the one to be with. BLUE POPPY has run well in both her starts and should fight out the finish once again. SOVEREIGN GEM is improving and is clearly not out of it. KALI BWANA needs to do more to win a race but might play a minor role.

Selections:

A weak race and anything is possible. MAGIC MAVERICK has improved of late and could be ready for a winning turn. MOHANDAS and GLOBAL MOVEMENT have both improved to win their latest starts and can follow up.

Selections:

#4 Magic Maverick, #3 Global Movement, #8 King Bavarian, #6 Galaxy Explorer

Race 5
Race Summary:
TURBO TWENTY was not disgraced over this course and distance last month and should go a lot better this time around but it is a competitive handicap.

DOWN BY THE RIVER is better than his last run and could surprise. JAZZ FESTIVAL, RAGNAR THE KING and EL DANTE are all in good form and are not out of it.

Selections:

#7 Turbo Twenty, #1 Ombudsman, #2 French Trip, #4 Pied Piper

Race 6
Race Summary:
REGENERATION reminded us what she is capable of with a very easy win last time out. She is not reliable but she is talented and is also weighted to win this race as well. BRISTOL HERCULES is well drawn and very consistent so can get involved with the finish again. AMOR FATI is in good form and can earn some money. WINTER GAMES is not reliable but can earn some money. TREATY OF PARIS is in good form and should be competitive once again. GOLDEN RULE is clearly better than his last run and can earn some more money.

Selections:

#9 Regeneration, #6 Treaty Of Paris, #7 Golden Rule, #1 Bristol Hercules

Race 7
Race Summary:
QUEEN BRAGANZA is unbeaten in two starts and there is no real reason to think she cannot complete a hat-trick. SPINMYANGELSSPIN has shown promise and could be a threat to these rivals. BELLA VALENTINA did all that was asked of her when winning on debut and could have more to offer. RAHHABBA, MRSGLITTERSPARKLES and PROM QUEEN are others that can contest the finish.

Selections:

#2 Queen Braganza, #1 Spinmyangelsspin, #4 Bella Valentina, #7 Rahhabba

Race 8

A very competitive last race and it may pay to go wide in the Pick 6 in this leg. LITTLEBLACKGEM is knocking hard at the door and can go one better this time. MYSTIQUE ROUGE is well drawn and consistent so should be included in all bets. FASCINATION showed improvement last time out and has a place chance. THINGAMABOB let her supporters down last time out but should be a serious threat to these rivals. GREENLIGHT QUEEN, AMAFORT and GETOFFOFMYCLOUD are also capable of scoring.
