Race 1

Princess Lisa (1) Drawn to get every chance and keeps racing honestly in this company. Top three claims.
Party Up Denario (3) Can roll forward early and sit close enough to strike late. Respect from the draw.
Always A Menace (8) In strong winning form and can finish over the top if tempo stays good all the way.

---

Race 2

Seaside Charlie (6) Lightly raced and has upside. Just needs early speed to be competitive in this.
Reimburst (7) Still learning but can improve sharply with cover and a patient drive. Has to be included
Shiver In The Dark (5) Fresh legs and ability there. If he settles well he can feature late in proceedings.

---

Race 3

Why Not Me (1) First starter but has been good at trials. Drawn to land handy and give cheek. Needed
Stranger Things (5) Has shown enough to be a factor and should get a fair run from there. Freshened
Treasure Chest (7) Another with upside. If she follows the right horse she can fill a placing. In the mix

---

Race 4

Blaze Lightening (4) Racing well and maps to get a strong crack at them. Looks the one to beat.
Share A Dream (3) Form reads better than it looks and can improve with a softer trip today. Needed

Race 5

He Aint Fakin (1) Honest trotter who sticks at it. Drawn to be prominent and tough to run down.
Julie Jaccka (4) Reliable enough at this level and should be in the fight if she gets cover in the running

Jaccka Ace (8) Can be competitive with the right trip and has enough speed to be involved late.
Tillaberi (6) Form has been mixed but she’s capable. Top driver on and not the worst at odds.

---

---

Race 9
