RACE 2:

BARCELONA BABE made a very good debut over 1600m last time. Ran on strongly late and the extra 350m will suit. Looks to be the best one of the better bets on the card today. ROY'S GOLD showed very good improvement last time. Should also be suited to the extra distance. FLY AWAY WITH ME SOON has finished third in her last three starts. Has a shout. BLACK CHOCOLATE has been improving while RAVISHING ROMANCE will need to repeat penultimate start.

1st - BARCELONA BABE (11); 2nd - ROY'S GOLD (1); 3rd - FLY AWAY WITH ME (3); 4th - BLACK CHOCOLATE (5); 5th - RAVISHING ROMANCE (6)

RACE 3:

MAMASITA ran in the Woolavington two runs back. Will be finishing well and looks to have a very good chance in this field. INJAAZAAT stays on well and she has won and placed this C & D. NATIONAL CHIMES takes on stronger but ran an improved race last time. EVA TIBBS can make the frame if finding a sustained finish. MY LOVELY showed very good improvement over her penultimate run last time. Should earn something.

1st - MAMASITA (1); 2nd - INJAAZAAT (4); 3rd - NATIONAL CHIMES (8); 4th - EVA TIBBS (2); 5th - MY LOVELY (7)

RACE 4:

NISHAC is a consistent maiden and even though this is his fifteenth run he should be respected. His form has been such that he looks to be a contender this afternoon. DE LA RIO is improving and his last two runs were vastly improved. DELLAVERA stayed on last time in an improved effort. May still have more to find. YEAROFTHEDRAGON is not too consistent. At best should have a place shout. AMANGA has shown little in recent times.

1st - NISHAC (2); 2nd - DE LA RIO (1); 3rd - DELLAVERA (8); 4th - YEAROFTHEDRAGON (5); 5th - AMANGA (3)

RACE 5:

FLYING FELLOW won well at this track over slightly shorter last time. Can follow up. DISCOURSE is inconsistent but can score if repeating his latest effort. BATTLE HAMMER is never far back and has a few good runs this C & D. Should be running on. Don't ignore. YOUR WORSHIP weakened badly at Greyville last time. Runs better this track. JAMAL may be improving again.

1st - FLYING FELLOW (1); 2nd - DISCOURSE (3); 3rd - BATTLE HAMMER (8); 4th - YOUR WORSHIP (7); 5th - JAMAL (2)

RACE 6:

COSMIC FLIGHT is unbeaten after two starts. Looks to be set to win quite a few more. Will be running on. Debut win was this C & D. Stable companion, SUREFIRE, should also be contesting the finish as she also finishes well. Has also won this C & D. FLY PEG FLY has excuses last time in an improved run. JUST LUCKY could also be improving. Stable companions look to be the ones to follow. LITTLEBLACKNUMBER did not show last time. Money chance on previous.

RACE 7:

UMOYANA hasn't run for three months but had good form before that rest winning last time. Returns to shorter distance where she has won this C & D. ROCKET LADY may benefit from a slight drop in class. Battling for that second win. Last won two years ago! LADY PENRHYN showed very good improvement to win her maiden by three lengths at the second attempt last time. May need to confirm. BAREGA failed to run on last time. Will need to repeat penultimate run. ELEPHANT MATRIARCH won her maiden at the third attempt last time. May need to confirm that win.

1st - UMOYANA (3); 2nd - ROCKET LADY (2); 3rd - LADY PENRHYN (6); 4th - BAREGA (1); 5th - ELEPHANT MATRIARCH (5)

RACE 8:

SON OF ORIMANDES won well against slightly stronger last time. Started at 50/1 that day. Has won twice this C & D. ROY'S MARCIANO has fair post maiden form. Could challenge. A P STRIKE is never far back and should be running on. RAINIER has been running well against quite a bit stronger. Weakens but is C & D suited. BURRA BOY showed very good improvement last time and has run well this C & D. Must have a money chance.

1st - SON OF ORIMANDES (1); 2nd - ROY'S MARCIANO (6); 3rd - A P STRIKE (7); 4th - RAINIER (2); 5th - BURRA BOY (3)
