Led for a long way when resuming at Hatrick on Friday. New to this track is the only concern in an even field.
Selections: 5-6-4-7
Copped an early bump & then brushed the rail on Friday so can safely ignore her first run in c1. Ran second here on debut to a dog that is unbeaten in three starts.
Selections: 4-7-8-5
Looked a little unsure about this track on debut but was still able to win. Added a maiden bonus victory at Hatrick on Friday. This is harder but should be further improved. 5 Siren Sounds beat 7 Grasscutter Moe when winning here at her last visit. Each way value.
Selections: 4-5-7-6
Many a favourite has been tripped up on this track for the first time but the nature of her win on Friday was so good it's hard to tip against her on ability.
Selections: 2-3-7-8
Aiming for 10 straight wins. Left it late last week but still saluted against virtually the same field.
Selections: 8-2-7-4
Nailed right on the line when fresh. Fitter for that & will have to be to beat the rejuvenated 3 Big Time Phil.
Selections: 4-3-7-6
Ran on well after an awkward start in her downgrade run. 2 Big Time Paris has chased home three promising dogs lately. 7 Big Time Brutal measures up on times last week against the favoured pair.
Selections: 6-2-7-3
Closed off well last week. Can be tardy but the small field helps his cause. All four are required in the quaddie in what could be the tightest race of the day.
Selections: 6-4-3-5
Solid third on Friday came after an easy winner on this track which is her favourite. Up in class but can handle this field.
Selections: 8-3-6-5
Impressive in all three starts but he jumps another class & his slow starts will catch up with him at some point. 8 Our Boy Romeo won the last time he was here & has been good elsewhere since. Each way play.
Best: Big Time Iggy
Value: Our Boy Romeo
