Easy winner of the corresponding race last week & the same result looks likely unless 6 Reckless Eric can make a cleaner beginning.
Selections: 5-6-7-4
Returns to the straight track which he has excelled on. Each way value in a competitive field. 1 Big Time Brutal is also at juicy odds given his close third six days ago.
Selections: 4-1-2-8
Wanted away from the inside last week & finished attractively once he was balanced in just his second start down the straight. Tempting each way odds.
Selections: 3-2-1-8
Ordinary record here but he was ok last week & he won't get a better chance to win than this. 2 Sugar Sugar finished just behind Cortez. 8 Diamond Frankie is lacking confidence in a field so the straight might help. Worth a dollar at long odds.
Selections: 4-2-8-6
Surprisingly never looked like winning last Tuesday but picked up late to snatch third & the pair that beat him are absent today. Still the benchmark on this track.
Selections: 7-2-5-3
Downgrades after a close fourth in c5. Should bounce straight back.
Selections: 5-6-4-7
Beaten at short odds last time so it's hard to jump on again but is the dog to beat in this line-up. 2 Swift Shadow ran boldly when downgrading. Will lead this field early.
Selections: 4-2-7-3
Resuming in the right field on a track she enjoys. 6 Ludlow Lad ran faster than 5 Cebu Blue last week despite only finishing sixth.
Selections: 7-6-5-3
Best: Hey Driver
Next: Bora Bora
Value: Diamond Frankie
