Race 2

Artful Bromac (3) Sound enough fresh and lands another handy draw. Right in the fight here.
Lily’s A Star (6) Bounced back nicely last start and her course stats deserves respect at odds.
Hugo (11) Far from disgraced in stronger company and gets his chance with the right trail through.

Tetrick(AUS) (2) Forget the early mistakes last week. Big motor underneath and clearly one of the major hopes.
He Aint Fakin (3) Brilliant when he gets things right and the reduced handicap helps his chances plenty.

Race 8

Jumal (3) Couldn’t have been more impressive last week and looks perfectly drawn to control things again.
