Whilst there has been support for Master Archie (5/2 into 2/1), i have my doubts about the collateral form of it's last run, three runners and no winners.It's About Time debuted against winners and was just 3 lengths off at the finish. Should be involved in the finish.
Razzle Dazzle Em raced fairly handy from a relatively wide draw on debut and had nothing to come in the closing stages. From an okay draw, and if adopting similar racing handy tactics, the drop back in distance may suit her style of running and she could pull this off.
Guessing has never been widely acclaimed as a good gambling strategy.

A bit overcast, and expecting a moderate headwind, course hard and fast.
Race 1 Quite a few first timers, the main one could be Night Ruler assuming Fourie has picked correctly. Master Archie two nice runs over 1000m, and now steps up to 1200m Fifty Fiver and It's About Time both good debuts and should improve.
Race 2 Our filly Treasure Hunt just touched off last time by a decent sort. I'm expecting her to win today, although at cramped odds. Area Fifty One should come on from her debut and is our main danger and I think the right one for exacta's. The two unraced runners both bred for further- its interesting that both Marina and Marinaresco won at their second starts (1600m and 1200m respectively) so Costa Smeralda can't be ignored.
Race 3 Razzle Dazzle Em was heavily punted last time when not showing much improvement on her good debut, and is again favourite. She has an obvious chance, but no value at the price. Arendelle has a tricky draw again but has the ability to win, as does Imperial Ballet. Princess of Winter and Fly to Rio are also well tried maidens but have a chance. Real Joy should appreciate the step up in trip, as should Soul Control.
Race 4 A competitive handicap. Winter Flight is first pick from Spring Awakening, Captain Dizzy and Speed of Night, all very effective this trip and in good form. Fort Red drops back in trip, and could pop up as he shows fair early speed.
Race 5 Fighter, Camps Bay, Rostropovich and Line of Power the shortlist.
Race 6 Our filly Pretty Betty won a nice race over 1600m last time, and I am slightly concerned that she drops back in trip, and doesn't get the best of draws. However, we have a top jockey and she is still improving, so I think she has a decent ew chance. Its an open race, but I think the main dangers are Celtic Night, Royal Blue, Rose Princess and Miss Millstream.
race 7 I have a preference for Major Attraction which I bred, but again quite an open race. Dad's Catch showed a glimmer of her earlier form last time and could be in the fray. Oscar's Winner is lightly raced and should enjoy this trip. Larentina is now on a very competitive rating.. The two Bass runners are consistent.
Race 8 Jaimala is improving every run and looks ready to win his maiden. Bey Suyay and Tara Iti were close together last time but the draw reversal favours the latter. Royal Grove gets the worst draw, but the 4 scratchings will help, and he and Master Striker (2yo so out at the weights) can improve on fair debuts. Lord Marmite and legitimise are not too consistent but could pop up.
