GINGER SIOUX found a good finish late last time despite a slow start. EASTSIDE is consistent but needs a better finish. ANGEL'S SMILE ran a vastly improved race last time. Can win this today. PRIDE IN BATTLE also needs a better finish. Penultimate start was her best thus far. Returns to the track after an eleven month break. May return fresh.

RACE 2:

CAPTAIN'S CUP did not kick on when making her sand debut last time. Is a distance winner and could improve on this surface this afternoon. ALL I WANT is unbeaten this C & D (2 from 2). Finishes well this C & D. The nine year old stable companion, WHERE'S MY CHOP, is also C & D suited. Still running well. FLEETWOOD MAC ran on last time. Could be improving. Yard in very good form. DREAMY FOREST runs for the first time on sand.

RACE 4:

LIZZIE'S LEGS may have finished closer last time were it not for a bump at the start. SLICK DEPUTY has had some issues at the start. Can finish close up. SEVEN KINGDOMS tends to hang but did show fairly well in her latest. A P's LILY was not disgraced in her post maiden last time. DANIELLE has more to find but finishes with respiratory noises.

RACE 5:

THRUST won his maiden at the second attempt last time. That followed a good debut run. Looks promising and expect another good run. RETURN TO THE SUN needs to find a better finish but is never too far behind. BATTLE OF ALMA is never far back but needs a better finish. Both wins at this track. CUMBERLAND ran an improved race last time. First run on sand. PAULUS can place, only if repeating best form thus far.

RACE 6:

BIG SHOT won three of his last four runs at this track. He has won well over the distance and looks to be a main contender. AFRICAIN has yet to run a bad race and should finish close up and well in the money. MIRAGE DRIVE won well on his return from an eight month break last time. A nine year old who obviously still has the zest for racing. ROYAL MASTER was not disgraced in his post maiden last time. Takes on stronger. ALL THE BIDS has raced well against stronger.

RACE 8:

KIDMAMBO ran on the sand, over this C & D, for the first time last time and duly taught the field that day a lesson. That was his sixth run. Could be one to follow again. WINDY EXPRESS was a surprise winner last time. Would need to repeat this afternoon. PERFECT END is inconsistent. Only win was this C & D. AQUA BLUE drops in class. Form against stronger has been decent. PERFECT TRIP has been improving and ran on his last two. Add
