Went close after a slow start here a fortnight ago. Further improvement likely.
Selections: 6-7-2-3
Qualified way back in May when finishing just behind 4 Who's A Saint at Cambridge. Trialled well enough here last week to take this on debut.
Selections: 5-8-4-6
Peaked on his run when second resuming. Fitter for that so should take this.
Selections: 8-2-3-5
Put out of the contest when handy at the first bend on Friday. Has a solid record down the straight without winning. Can break through in this. Difficult quadrella leg.
Selections: 5-6-7-3
Has won six straight & is expected to deliver again but was only a fraction faster than his brother 7 Star Boy Express when they both scored here on July 29.
Selections: 8-7-3-2
Has won both his starts here at short odds. Only threat appears to be 4 My Mini Me who has undoubted ability but is yet to be tested here on raceday.
Selections: 3-4-2-7
Easy winner despite an awkward start in this class a fortnight back. At microscopic results to remain unbeaten.
Selections: 6-2-5-3
Big effort to get fourth here two weeks ago in a higher grade after squatting at the start. His Friday fourth had merit too. One of only two c3s in this field.
Selections: 6-3-8-2
Track specialist that ran faster than the hot pot 2 Big Time Ashton when they contested different events here on July 29. Generous opening odds.
Selections: 7-2-4-5
Slow starts have hindered his winning chances at Hatrick lately. Gets the opportunity to recover down the straight so should add to his good record here.
Selections: 2-4-6-7
Unbeaten in four starts here & is running swift times at Hatrick too. Should nail the bonus win in the grade but it is a decent field. 8 Bow Belle Beth was only one length off the favourite here a fortnight ago. Exotics booster.
Selections: 6-8-5-1
Best: Drive Angry
Next: Big Time Muster
Value: Big Time Nico
