Race 1

Jack’s Eyre (4)
Didn’t have much luck from a tough trip last start. Better draw this time and can bounce back into the finish.

Logan Rock (2)
Gets every chance from the inside draw and should enjoy a soft run throughout. Major player.

Putere Boy (11)
Racing in excellent form and was only narrowly beaten here last start. Has to be respected despite the second line.

Race 2

Bettabe Lou (1)
Well supported on debut and only just missed. Draws perfectly to go one better.

Silent Witness (3)
Has impressed at the trials and looks more than capable of making an impact first-up.

Ultimatum (6)
Fast beginner who should land close to the speed and give a strong sight.

Beachbreak (8)
Drops into a slightly easier assignment and can overcome the draw with the right trip.

Tabasco (10)
Freshened since his last run and capable of running into the money with genuine tempo.

Ridge (10)
Luckless last start and only needs even breaks to be right in the finish.

Forgive the latest run after breaking. Her best form measures up nicely here.

One of the more consistent trotters in this grade and rarely runs a poor race.

Forget his last run where nothing went right. Gets his chance to bounce back.
