3 Romantic Rebel
Smart middle distance performer finds the line well enough to be a threat first time over 660m. The inside pair have similar credentials in a tricky but compelling opener.
Selections: 3-1-2-6
2 It's Okay
Was squeezed up early then worked hard three wide when third in a maiden 525m final at Addington. Back in distance & gets an improved draw. 4 Stormy End has been slow out in trials & on debut but she will eat up all 375m today.
Selections: 2-4-8-7
3 Fergie's Girl
Has won four straight & already beaten stronger fields than this. Quaddie anchor & run through all multis.
Selections: 3-2-8-6
6 Twisted Truth
Game third in a restricted age feature at Addington beating home 8 Opawa Postman. Has won three of his prior four visits here.
Selections: 6-8-7-4
7 Opawa April
Exceptional youngster running fast times in the south. First visit here won't halt her winning run. Another anchor & multi-filler.
Selections: 7-2-4-6
2 Big Time Paris
Is generally vulnerable here late in the race but she only has to beat today's rivals & on recent form she probably should.
Selections: 2-3-4-8
4 Big Time Tricky
Won in this class at Hatrick on Friday. Good enough record here including a tidy second fresh-up last month.
Selections: 4-3-5-8
7 Everest Sky
Group one winner here for the first time. Huge effort to win the Dunedin Cup last start on a similar track at Ascot Park. 3 Big Time Lauren is resuming & should sprint sharply in a fresh state.
Selections: 7-3-4-8
1 Big Time Theo
Continues to race well wherever he goes especially from low draws. Running out nominations in c4.
Selections: 1-8-9-7
7 Big Time Aly
Was surprisingly well supported on Friday at Hatrick where she struggles. Much better here so she can atone in an even field. 6 Big Time Dixie won that race & is at generous odds again. 2 Thrilling Carlos is dangerous from a handy draw but he can fluff his lines early. Quaddie cover.
Selections: 7-6-2-5
1 Stuck Throttle
Won well from a squeeze draw here before a fighting fourth in a group two race at Ascot. 6 Boldly Go was second in that southern feature. Here for the first time but seems to thrive anywhere.
Selections: 1-6-5-7
2 King Harvest
Demon railer just lasted to win a c4 here at the last meeting. Has won in the top grade before.
Selections: 2-3-6-9
Best: Big Time Tricky
Next: Twisted Truth
Value: Big Time Dixie (r10)
