Race 4 No2 LESLIE
It’s worth overlooking his unplaced effort last start, where he was caught wide throughout, leaving him with little left for the straight. Additionally, the slow tempo, evident in the blanket finish, didn’t align with his preferred racing style.
Now dropping to Class 4, where he boasts a solid 54 percent Top 3 strike rate, he looks well-placed to make amends.
Race 9 No 4 BUNDLE AWARD
Despite being overlooked in the market, he delivered a strong third-place finish last time out, charging home powerfully in the closing stages. With a clearer run, he might well have won, finishing just 1.25 lengths off the winner.
While this week’s field is competitive, he could offer good value against some of the more fancied contenders.

Race 3 No 13 SUNDAY’S SERENADE
His fifth-place finish last start carried hidden merit, as he was forced to settle off the pace from a wide draw before making a strong late run in a race dominated by on-pace runners. Adding to the strength of the form, both the winner and runner-up have since performed impressively.
Race 7 No 2 GRACIOUS EXPRESS
He likely found the extended mile too testing last time out, fading late in a slowly run race despite showing early speed. Dropping back to 1400m—a distance where he performed well in his previous starts—works in his favour, making him a genuine knockout chance.
