RACE 3:

MATER FAMILIAS was well supported on debut last time but failed to deliver. Should be worth following tonight. OVERLY IMPRESSED has run on in bothy starts. Likely to trouble the judged in this one. PAIX EMBLEME is a consistent earner. Should earn again tonight. ROY'S DOLLAR stayed on well last time. Place chance again.

RACE 4:

ROYAL ZULU GUARD has improved in his last three starts. Stayed on well last time. Should feature. MASTER ARCHER loves the distance but has yet to run a place in his three starts at the track. Top trainer and jockey combination. SOVEREIGN REIGN finished impressively last time. Did have an excuse last time though. BIZJET will win at this track yet. Has hardly done anything wrong since last winning. DO BE SNAPPY is holding form well. Also has top yard and jockey combination.

Still has the ability to win tonight. PEACE AGAIN ran on well in her last two and won well this C & D last time. Can repeat. BELLA MIESQUE runs her best races over this C & D with her only win.

RACE 6:

JET INTOMBI has good form. Drops in class from last time. Will be finishing well and has an apprentice claiming for this race. TOPAZ RAIN is never far back and is one that could cause an upset. ROY'S EMBLEM ran three very good runs before she won her maiden last time. Is one to consider. MAYBE has steady form but could prefer the turf track.

ROY'S LIONESS has fair post maiden form. Inclined to be slow to go. SILVER INSPIRATION has been finishing well amid must be given a chance in a field such as this.
