Race 1:
#1 Monkey Jewellery lost in photos in his last two starts last season. Tough trip first off the layoff this time and should get a great trip in a pretty weak race. Price won’t be great, however.
#3 Helaku Knight clipped heels and stumbled on the far turn last time out. Closed well to be third in his last start over the course and distance.
#6 Sure Win Win didn’t put in the worst performance when taking some money on debut and had a tough trip last time out. A price to include underneath.
Race 3:
#1 California Levee was not disgraced at all in his Class 3 runs and now finds himself in a pretty average Class 4 event.
Race 4:
#9 Golden General just missed in his last try over the course and distance and has had some excuses then (wet track, HV, tough trip). Shouldn’t get any excuses in the trip from gate 6.
Race 5:
#8 Apex Top: Blew the start two starts ago so can ignore that, and his two runs before that weren’t bad. Faded last time but can be fitter from that here second off the layoff. Looks to get either an easy time on the lead or the perfect stalking trip here.
#1 Golden Four is very consistent, with his only poor recent run coming when he had a tough trip. Weight allowance with the apprentice can only help.
Race 6:
#4 Super Fast: Winner over 2000m in IRE finally showed something last time…trainer change and time off over the summer seemed to spark him up. That was over 1400m, so this distance should be more suitable.
The speed map has #5 Full Power potentially sitting three wide no cover, but there is very little speed in here so I think the apprentice will try to get him on the lead. Could be tough to run down from that position at a good price.
Race 10:
#7 California Rad took quite a few steps forward when the blinkers went on towards the end of last season. Has been racing exclusively at HV lately but should be suited by the expanses of ST and the price looks good.
