Smashing could follow up on her maiden win off a 65 merit rating (JC Photos)
R1
6 SERRANO 4 YUKON 11 PYRO EDITION 5 SKITTLES SKIES
Preview: 6 SERRANO has done well in all his starts, some of them against decent sorts, and he is the one to beat from a fair draw over a suitable trip. 4 YUKON made a fair debut and will relish the step up in trip. 11 PYRO EDITION made a fair debut and could improve, albeit over a drop in trip. 5 SKITTLES SKIES is always thereabouts but was beaten by Pyro Edition over 1600m. (6-4-11-5)
R2
5 PEARL IN HER CROWN 1 CAT O’CLOCK 2 LINE IN THE SKY 6 BELLA’S CHARM
Preview: 5 PEARL IN HER CROWN is knocking on the door and has a high draw which could be advantageous. 1 CAT O’CLOCK has been k nocking on the door over sprints but is not sure to like the step up in trip on pedigree and the lkow draw might be disadvantageous. 2 LINE IN THE SKY should enjoy the step up in trip and has a middle draw. 6 BELLA’S CHARM ran well over this trip category last time but it remains to be seen whether the number one draw will be disadvantageous or not but it might well be. (5-1-2-6)
R3
1 SNEAK PREVIEW 3 ZOOMBOMBER 7 COUNT YOUR CHANCES 8 GREEN SCEPTRE
Preview: 1 SNEAK PREVIEW ran well over this course and distance last time and having the highest draw might be an advantage. 3 ZOOMBOMBER is off a competitive mark and should be in the shake up. 7 COUNT YOUR CHANCES is distance suited and off a competitive mark. 8 GREEN SCEPTRE has dropped to a competitive mark and could earn. (1-3-7-8)
R4
7 DAMOVA 1 CERULEAN DANCER 6 IDEAL FUTURE 5 TEO TORRIATTE
Preview: 7 DAMOVA has done well over staying trips before and is off a much lower mark now. 1 CERULEAN DANCER is in good form and did well over 1800m recently so a step up to a staying trip is interesting. 6 IDEAL FUTURE has ability and a nice long stride and is only three points higher after winning over this trip last time. 5 TEO TORRIATTE has won over this trip and will be staying on. (7-1-6-5)
R5
4 SMASHING 5 ARILENA 7 INAFIX 2 IN THE ETHER
Preview: 4 SMASHING won well last time with second-time alumites on and could follow up off a 65 merit rating. 5 ARILENA showed ability before a long layoof and can get away with running fresh over this trip. 7 INAFIX is back in form and after a win last time could earn again. 2 IN THE ETHER is capable of a strong finish and is always dangerous. (4-5-7-2)
R6
5 KINSHIN SHA 4 LONGSWORD 3 ROLLWITHTHEPUNCHES 1 KARANGETANG
Preview: 5 KINSHIN SHA won in good style last time and can progress. 4 LONGSWORD should be finishing strongly from off the pace. 3 ROLLWITHTHEPUNCHES has been off form but showed signs of a form return last time. 1 KARANGETANG is consistently thereabouts and should be again. (5-4-3-1)
R7
8 RAINING RUBIES 11 MIX THE MAGIC 4 MICKE’S BOMB 5 CRIMSON CLOUD
Preview: 8 RAINING RUBIES went close last time over this trip category and should be in the shake up in this line up. 11 MIX THE MAGIC could earn if repeating either of her last two starts. 4 MICKE’S BOMB is in consistent form and has a chance in this line up. 5 CRIMSON CLOUD starts off handicapping on a reasonable mark after a narrow maiden win. (8-11-4-5)
