Race 1 No 2 YODA’S CHOICE

A four-time placegetter from 17 starts, he wasn’t disgraced last time out, settling on pace throughout under blistering splits. However, the early exertion took its toll late, as he was beaten by 3.75 lengths, finishing eighth over this track and distance in Class 4.

Dropping back to Class 5, and with a better-timed ride, he should give them something to chase and could finally break through.

Race 7 No 2 LUCKY TOUCH

He couldn’t have drawn better than eight in his last three starts, yet he still performed well on each occasion, beaten by no more than three lengths, including a fast-finishing second over this distance at Happy Valley last time out.

In consistent form, he looks capable of returning to the winner’s list in Class 4 if the race unfolds in his favour.

Race 5 No 5 SERANGOON

In a slowly run race last time out, he was forced to settle at the rear from a wide draw but stormed home to finish third over this track and distance. With his mark approaching the level of his last win, he should run well this week, provided the pace suits his racing style.

Race 11 No 9 GLORIOUS SUCCESS

He comes off a narrow second over this distance on turf two weeks ago, clocking an impressive 22.95 seconds for the second-fastest final 400m. The switch to the All-Weather surface poses no concerns, as he has shown solid form on Synthetic tracks in Australia. He looks one worth following.
