R2) Safe Return X (R6) Kitty Cat Chat X (R8) Warrior
Feeling brave, add R4, Forgetful Girl.
Safe Return (7/10), was a comfortable 3.75 lengths second on Met Day, with the fourth a further 5.75 lengths behind Safe Return. The juveniles races, always watch for money on the first timers, although i feel the racing experience will benefit Safe Return.
Forgetful Girl (17/10), another who should have won last time out, looked a winner everywhere but at the finish. From a good draw, should be the one they all have to beat.
Kitty Cat Chat (15/20), this looks to be something special, will follow until beaten, don't think that will be on Wednesday.
Warrior (18/10), based on times on the day, Warrior's finishing time would have place him 3.63 lengths behind Jet Dark, winner of the Queens Plate, no horse of that calibre here, and that's good enough for me.
Guessing has never been widely acclaimed as a good gambling strategy.

Race 1 Voice Notes two decent runs and is the one to beat.Chelsea River next best of the raced runners and expect improvement from Golden Trip after fair debut. Watch out for the unraced runners.
Race 2 Safe Return close up to a top juvenile on debut and it would need an exceptional first timer to bother him.
Race 3 Europeana decent debut and has been entered in the Nursery. Watch betting on first timers.
Race 4 This looks a strong maiden. Our filly, Pretty Betty, good debut and has come on a lot from that. Top jockey, but a horrible draw, so will need luck in running. If she had drawn well I would be confident of a top 3 finish.
Forgetful Girl close last two and should again be in the firing line. Gate Sixty Nine good earlier form but comes back from a break after some below par runs. Adderbury Lake two good sprints and I think she’s the one to beat as she should improve with the extra, and a top jockey booking. Our World is exposed but is capable of finishing in the money.
Race 5 Blingking took on much stronger in the sales race, and is the one to beat if fit after the break. Dirty Martini poor last two but capable if regaining best form- good draw and jockey. Superior Leader good form but wide draw. Mr Frostie also bad draw but could surprise. Hikaru and Dollar Brand have chances.
Race 6 Kitty Cat Chat looks special, and I think still ahead of the handicapper, looks very hard to beat. Open race if she fails. Fiftyshadesdarker may be next best, and Gayleactic Star and Caribbean Sunset are very consistent.
Race 7 A strong fillies handicap. Marina was badly hampered last time and is the one to beat. Our filly, Fynbos, also did not get a clear run in that race, and with a bit of luck in running from the wide draw, will challenge. Scented Mistress must be respected from draw 1 and not disgraced in feature company.
Race 8. Warrior is an up and coming 3yo, and a facile winner last time. He is the logical favourite, but it’s very open if he fails. I will take one pick 6 with him a banker, and another with the field.

Very green which resulted in him not getting a vigorous ride 1st time out, but he is a half brother to Vardy and definitely expect improvement around the turn today.
