Race 2
(13) She Rex is coming into this race fresh and was contesting stronger maiden races at city level prior to the short break. She likely finds this much easier and can race in an ideal position up on speed. (2) Starcho Libre may have had some excuses last start and sets up much better here today down in distance. He should be an improver. (3) Vamore looks likely to be better suited rising in distance to the 1200m here today after hitting the line solidly first up. (6) No Los There looks the best of the runners making their debut today and sets up well jumping from barrier 1.
Selections:
(13) She Rex
(2) Starcho Libre
(3) Vamore
(6) No Los There
Suggested Bet: (13) She Rex (Win)
Race 5
(2) Ice Symphony has been running well in stronger metro-level races in his last few starts, so sets up well here dropping in grade and getting back to a track he has won at previously. Maps to go forward again and gets the ideal run. (6) Fussy As is fitter second up for this today and capable of improvement, but will have to overcome a wide barrier. (10) Layin Up resumes at her home track. She has a super record when first up, so can fire fresh in a suitable setup. (3) The Big Wheel was a good winner first up before tackling a stronger race next start. He can bounce back to winning form down in grade.
Selections:
(2) Ice Symphony
(6) Fussy As
(10) Layin Up
(3) The Big Wheel
Suggested Bet: (2) Ice Symphony (Win)
