Race 1

10 AQUAE CALIDAE ran a cracker on debut and will be hard to beat. 3 COPPER HEAD also has good debut form and should be right there. 4 ANOTHER HERO has run two good races and has a chance. 6 GODRIC GRYFFINDOR should be there or thereabouts. (David Thiselton 10-3-4-6)

 

Race 2

7 MADE IN CHELSEA should be hard to beat considering his good formlines. 4 SPINNAKER made a good debut and with improvement could go close. 3 CAPTAIN’S ANGEL should be in the shake up. 1 HERO’S JOURNEY should earn again in this line up. (David Thiselton 7-4-3-1)

 

Race 3

5 SIGNOR DANTE can bounce back as he has some fine form overall. 4 PACIFIC WATERS enjoyed the course and distance last time and has been given a reasonable merit rating. 1 FORT YUKON has a form chance. 3 RED DAWN could be in the shake up in this line up. (David Thiselton 5-4-1-3)

 

Race 4

3 LAVA STRIKE has some fine formlines and is the one to beat. 5 COFFEE CRUNCH has 3,60 lengths to make up on Lava Strike. 2 THE MUFFIN MAN comes from that same race and has 3,8 lengths to make up on Lava Strike. 10 LOVE FROM AFAR has the ability to earn. (David Thiselton 3-5-2-10)

 

Race 5

5 KELP FOREST has plenty of ability and is back to his last winning mark. 2 LOVING PRAGUE has some fine form and should go close. 1 WINTER PEARL is knocking on the door and should be right there. 8 OCTOBER STORM has the ability but is none too consistent and needs to bounce back. (David Thiselton 5-2-1-8)

 

Race 6

3 SCOTTISH LINKS is 2,5kg better off with Eric Liddell for a 2,25 length beating and there is a reversal in draw fortunes in his favour. 1 TUNGUSKA was well beaten by Eric Liddell last time when widely drawn but he is now drawn in pole. 9 ERIC LIDDELL is progressive and would not be a surprise winner because he is a grinder who will relish the heavy winter conditions but he does have a tough draw. 10 TOTHEMOONANDBACK is capable of earning in this line up. (David Thiselton 3-1-9-10)

 

Race 7

6 FUTURE FREE is a talented son of Futura and his progressive profile plus a step up in trip he will relish makes him the one to beat. 1 PAY THE PALACE has mixed it with some of the best and not been disgraced and he should be in the shake up over a trip he should get considering his fair run in the Lucky Fish Cape Derby. 5 PRAIRIE DAWN is a consistent sort who is on the up and he should enjoy the step up in trip. 7 MAGIC VERSE has a touch of class and is distance suited and he should be in the shake up despite having the widest draw in the seven horse field. (David Thiselton 6-1-5-7)

 

Race 8

5 FREQUENT TRAVELLER ran a good race over course and distance last time and is now two point lower in another maiden handicap. 2 CHARLIE BUCKET has been knocking on the door and from a good draw has a chance although he has to prove he stays this trip. 7 FATE OF PACE has a tricky draw but has the form and distance suitability to be a contender. 11 QUIET PLACE has earned a cheque in the last three maiden handicaps he has run in. (David Thiselton 5-2-7-1)
