Race by race overview
Race 4
(6) Magnabelle Royale resumes for her second preparation having remained unbeaten so far in her career. She looks fit after winning two recent trials and, importantly, maps as the leader, which is a big asset on this track.
(8) Caffettiera ran second when resuming and may find this a slightly easier race, so there is scope for improvement.
(3) Volatile has filled the placings at his past two starts and maps well again from the inside barrier.
(2) Croatian Art drops back in grade after finishing second last start in a stronger race.
Selections:
(6) Magnabelle Royale
(8) Caffettiera
(3) Volatile
(2) Croatian Art
Suggested Bet: (6) Magnabelle Royale (Win)
Race 5
(3) Eco Force has been consistent without winning this preparation, but this looks potentially the easiest race she has seen this campaign. The slight drop in grade sets her up well in a small field.
(6) Lady Sadler resumes and has shown good form in previous first-up runs. She looks likely to settle in a positive position.
(9) Snappy Pierro looks the likely leader, which could prove a significant advantage if the pattern again favours those on speed.
(8) Big Star was midfield last start in a stronger race and looks capable of improving with the class drop here.
Selections:
(3) Eco Force
(6) Lady Sadler
(9) Snappy Pierro
(8) Big Star
Suggested Bet: (3) Eco Force (Win)
