Race 8 There could be a surprise here and an invigorating race not to be missed,a few with good claims Favola,Love Of My Life and Hall Of Fame with the latter the pick save for the draw...peak run though and Bernard stays with her

Wedgewood has been putting in some fair efforts in higher handicaps
Unwanted in the market but is she is better then her last and has a fair place chance

I reckon that the Adam Marcus horse will have this field cold!

could well be seeing she's favoured but also one with a wide draw
interested to know your reasoning though

Race 2 Larry Jack eachway

Moon rock

My fancies for today:

R1: MORE MAGIC (was heavily backed last run) - best bet
R2: POTAWATOMI (horse was not right last time) - value bet
R4: GIANT FLAG (ran on nicely last run) - eachway

I see the pen is 24, thought they had a huge downpour?

Brett’s fancies

Race 3 - Imperious Bride bred well enough and would hope to improve to place here.

Lovely day today, but I think that the going will be softer than the published pen reading.
Race 1: We have Forty Days having his second run and first time around the turn. He has come on from his first run which was a decent debut, has a nice draw and will enjoy the step up in trip. I would expect him to run into the money. More Magic has strong form and I make him the one to beat although a wide draw. Ladder Man looks the other main contender after a fair debut, and Lanza has come out of that race to win. Hidden Influence also should be considered.
Race 2: I like Seattle Force here despite the wide draw- I think his second place last time full of merit. Apollo Ace has good form and a nice draw and must be respected. Look for improvement from Mio Vito and include Larry Jack and The Suit in quartets.
Race 3:Weak maiden. Hither Green looks the one to beat on her last run, and the first timer Let Me Love You does not have to be a star to win.
Race 4:Also quite weak. Brandenburg and Giant Flag have the best form but an upset quite possible.
Race 5:Open handicap. I like Palo Alto ew, but many with chances
Race 6: Harvest Wind needed his last run more than expected and was not ridden out the final furlough. I think he needs a bit further and from a wide draw not expecting much, but could run a place. Moon Rock and Silver Master look the best two in another very open race.
Race 7: It is What it Is looks the best of the bunch but no value at 2/1. Main dangers are Passion Peach and Nanna Anna in a tricky race.
Race 8: Bon Bon carries a big weight in this class and not the best draw, but she always tries hard and is ew value at 14/1. After Glow looks very progressive and would be a strong fancy but for the wide draw. Plenty with chances if After Glow misses out.
