Race 2 – 10 FIGHT TIME
From an awkward draw last start, he was urged early to settle just off the pace before sticking on fairly well to finish sixth over this distance in Class 4, beaten only half a length by the winner.
Boasting an impressive record of one win and two seconds from three starts in Class 5, he should relish the drop in grade and be right in the mix.
Race 4 – 4 NATURAL HIGH
Although he failed to place first-up, the run was a pass mark given the circumstances. Caught wide throughout in a strongly run race, he was beaten just 2.75 lengths into seventh over this course and distance.
Stripping fitter second-up, he is expected to improve and could feature in the finish with better luck in running.

Race 8 – 3 MASTEROFMYUNIVERSE
He was forced to settle off the pace from an awkward draw last start before finishing off strongly to run seventh over this distance, recording the third-fastest final 400m of 21.75 seconds. Having caught the eye when running on well in a recent trial, he could make his presence felt under a more favourable race shape.
Race 11 – 8 SUNNY DA BEST
It pays to overlook his last start, as the slow tempo placed those settling off the pace at a significant disadvantage. Instead, focus on his eye-catching effort the run prior, when he let down sharply to finish third over this distance. Against more fancied rivals this week, he could represent good value.
