Race by race overview

Race 6

(1) Choir Point resumes here. She was a first up winner last prep before holding her own in stronger races later in the campaign. This looks a much easier assignment and she has trialled well leading in.

(6) Meisho has a strong fresh record and draws barrier 1 which should see her land in a favourable position.

(2) Endless Forevers was solid first up and has a good record second up, suggesting improvement to come.

(5) Maya’s Ace broke through for her maiden at this track and trip last start. Confidence will be high and she can measure up again.

Selections:
(1) Choir Point
(6) Meisho
(2) Endless Forevers
(5) Maya’s Ace

Suggested Bet: (1) Choir Point WIN

Race 8

(2) Lady Sadler was dominant winning here last start and this race does not look any harder. Maps to go forward again and control the race.

(6) Beautifully was midfield last start but drops into a slightly easier race. Has the speed to take up a handy position.

(4) Thunder Hawk drops in grade and looks better suited here. Expect improvement.

(11) Written Story is a last start winner building a strong record at the track. Needs to step up but comes in with confidence.

Selections:
(2) Lady Sadler
(6) Beautifully
(4) Thunder Hawk
(11) Written Story

Suggested Bet: (2) Lady Sadler WIN
