Another great raceday expected for punters with some nice first timers and interesting Merit Rated clashes expected. 

Race 1 Maiden 1000m

Some interesting first timers make for an interesting contest. Long time maiden Red October Sky gets the vote for the first selection of the raced runners. His form is consistent and has placed recently, making him the no. 1 choice. There is a first timer by Captain Al that deserves respect and the betting must be watched for any market moves. He has a top jock onboard in Callan Murray. Irish Priority could be the improver on the pack. Loads of other first timers. Watch the betting.

Race 2 MR 85 1000m

The Greef runners Natural Tan and Oklahoma Sky represent the main protagonists in this event. The formline from Easy Street is reliable and the weights represent a match race between these two with luck in running being the difference. Fresh could be in the money after dropping in the ratings and makes more appeal now at this mark after a better last run. Fly Peg Fly was not string out last time and best ignore that run. Another place chance. Be cautious with this event. The runners are closely handicapped and anything can happen.

Race 3 MR 72 1400m

Gizmo could be the horse they have to beat after a running against better in a feature last time out. Drops into this race at a decent weight and looks to have some ability. Consonance won recently in a novice and placed at the latest in an MR 66. He could be with for a place chance again. Of the top weighed runners Reef of Fortune has good form, drops in class and should be in the shake up. Steps up in trip for the first time in 6 efforts.

Race 4 Novice Plate 1400m

It would pay to follow the chances of Gizmo in the previous race in order to take a liking to this first choice, Coyote Creek. If the formline is franked then the this gelding would be ways to follow. Another whose formline that needs to be followed in Consonance. Buck Eye ran behind him in his latest and could be a place chance. Without Permission is a hard hitting handicapper and another solid effort is expected here.

Race 5 MR 69 1800m

The once highly rated star Rakes Chestnut would have frustrated followers whilst in PE winning just once in the last few years but his merit rating is a low 62 after peaking at 109. This could be the big horses day and he tries to rewind to his best form and win for his loyal followers. He is a solid first selection. Shady World is dropping in trip and could place after a very good win last time out. Hearts 'R Pumping shouldn't get the pulses racing for a win but could get the place cheque and is one to watch for the minor money.

Race 6 MR 95 1600m

Jet Explorer could be the one to burst the treble efforts of Laws of Succession. He is the class of the race along with Dynamic. Laws of Succession is in great winning form and it would take the best of Jet Explorer to win this contest. Nevertheless he is a first selection. Inviting Lily is going for her 4th win in a row and is a progressive type. However she could be in her place at this level. Place chance. She is 2 kg worse off with rival Scent from her previous start.

Race 7 MR 78 1600m

Justin Snaith has been in good recent form in the Western Cape and China Express could fire his stable into action in PE. The top weight is going for his hattrick and is any improver. One to beat. Placido is consistent and never far off. Place chance.  Warrior Poet is always there and there abouts but up in class off a low mark. Place.

Race 8 Maiden 1200m

Love Talk is the one they have to beat after an excellent first attempt. Back over the same course and distance and should take a power of beating. Tara's Gold comes from the same formline and should be near the tail of Love Talk on form. A form reversal is expected due to Love Talks greater improvement. Cherika comes from the same formline but the place chance could be War of Roses. Second last time out and could be in the money again. No Green Stars also a place chance after a good second and an improved run.
 

Bet Opinion is to follow Rakes Chestnut today. Love Talk and Gizmo should make an interesting double. Play the maidens today after watching the betting.
