Race 2
Confidence: 3/5
2.Marchand 1st $2.70 he looked very good hitting the line for third here fresh and ran the fastest last 400m all day of 22.1 and lost a plate doing it. He won second up last campaign and based on that could easily do it again. Small field and 1600m suits. RP $2.20, $2.50 FF
Race 9
Confidence: 3/5
6.Contagious 4th and stiff did very well to run second to a very good horse on debut. She began well but soon eased out of a speed duel but was caught 3 wide in the open. But she still closed off strongly for second in strong sectionals. The good draw and step to 1200m looks ideal now. RP $2.00, $2.40 FF
Race 10
Confidence: 2/5
3.All Business 1st $3 ran a very good third on debut in a good speed rating. Closing sectionals were strong after getting an interrupted passage. Drawn to get a good run and looks hard to beat. RP $3.20, $4 FF
Race 11
Confidence: 3/5
1.Deceptive looked very good in his trial run for second when never let go in the straight. Ready to win from the right stable on debut with Opie up. RP $1.70, $2.00 FF
