2 Simek
Unlucky when fifth on debut here last week. Upset win at Cambridge on Thursday. Should gain a bonus maiden win today.
Selections: 2-4-6-3
3 Cliff Top Cutie
Sound second here nine days ago then went close again at Hatrick on Friday. 5 Cliff Top Trixie ran nearly the same time as Cutie in a different race here last start. Quaddie include.
5 Carat Smuggler
Slow starter takes a while to wind up but should reel in most in this field. 2 Sugar Sugar won in this class at Hatrick on Friday. Is gradually building confidence down the straight.
Selections: 5-2-7-1
6 Zero Chill
Smart win in the corresponding race down the straight two starts back is a better guide than Friday's sixth when she didn't show the same pick up. Looks better here these days.
Selections: 6-2-8-5
7 Big Time Martin
Slick time last week suggests that the rise in class won't halt his progress this afternoon.
Selections: 7-6-3-4
8 Our Boy Romeo
Fair fifth last time down the straight & drops another grade. Ran a similar time to what 1 Mystic Luna did when winning in this class.
Selections: 8-1-3-5
7 Big Time Nico
Track specialist has needed the recent racing & last week's fourth was a step up. Might have found the right field this afternoon.
Selections: 7-8-6-5
3 Abby Road
Fast beginner often finds one or two stronger late in the race but has oodles of room to establish a decent break on them. 8 Dapper Jabber made a victorious return to this track nine days ago. The rise in class shouldn't scare him.
Selections: 3-8-6-1
5 Thrilling Aggie
Has been good in her two seconds since resuming after a long layoff. Close to striking gold.
Selections: 5-1-8-7
8 Loveable Rogue
One of the poster boys of the straight track. Never out of the money in 21 starts. Should justify his microscopic odds in this.
Selections: 8-5-2-6
Best: Thrilling Aggie
Next: Big Time Martin
Value: Zero Chill
