Race 5
(7) Broadway Lane ran well to finish a close second up in grade last start. He remains at the same track and distance which suits and again maps for a favourable run. With the same setup and a drop in grade he should figure strongly.
(5) Equine Headline looks one of the main dangers and should be competitive if able to settle close enough in the run.
(10) Hayzee Fantayzee is capable on her day and could be running on late if the tempo is strong.
(11) Boomsong rounds out the main hopes and has the ability to feature with the right run.
Selections:
(7) Broadway Lane
(5) Equine Headline
(10) Hayzee Fantayzee
(11) Boomsong
Suggested Bet: (7) Broadway Lane Win
Race 6
(6) Strawberry Swing has run into the placings in her last four starts including a win and is in strong form. She is again in well at the weights and goes well at this track and trip setup. With favourable conditions expected and likely to race prominently, she looks the one to beat.
(7) Spiritual Gal looks the main danger and has the ability to figure if she runs up to her best.
(2) Prescient can be competitive and should get a reasonable run in transit.
(1) Game Over has the class to be around the mark in this company.
Selections:
(6) Strawberry Swing
(7) Spiritual Gal
(2) Prescient
(1) Game Over
Suggested Bet: (6) Strawberry Swing Win
Race 8
(5) I Need A Drink has a superb record at this track and distance with two wins and three placings from six attempts. He ran a strong race in the Port Lincoln Cup last start finishing fourth in a quality field. This looks a slightly easier assignment and the setup suits. Expect him to roll forward and run a solid race.
(6) Super Valentine looks the main danger and should be competitive if able to settle in a good position.
(3) I’m A Dexstar is capable of running well and could be finishing off late.
(2) Ichibansan has the ability to be in the mix with the right run.
Selections:
(5) I Need A Drink
(6) Super Valentine
(3) I’m A Dexstar
(2) Ichibansan
Suggested Bet: (5) I Need A Drink Win
