Jazzy Styx (5) Should improve after debut third. Looks hard to beat in this lineup. Needed
No Mercy (4) Ok last start and will go forward early. Can run top three again in this
Demi Darling (6) Didn’t get all favours last start and looks an improver here. Winning claims

 

Race 2

Cristiano Buccini (2) Running on late last start and drawn much better here. Top selection
Clymenus (5) No room here on the first day. Could surprise with better draw. Include
Hampton (1) Coming in fresh and should get a cosy run on the pegs. One for longer odds
