Race 6 No 2 BEAUTY ALLIANCE

His last run was tough to watch as he never found cover, despite jumping from a decent draw, forcing him to race wide throughout. To his credit, he still stuck on well for fourth, beaten just 1.5 lengths.

With a strong turn of foot and a more patient ride, he is well-placed to bounce back this week.

Race 10 No 12 LIFELINE EXPRESS

He was heavily backed in his most recent outing but had no luck, getting badly held up from the 400m to the 100m. By the time he found clear running, the race was over, and he had to settle for a luckless ninth.

Prior to that, he had been a model of consistency in Class 3. With better luck in running this time, he can make amends.

Race 2 No 3 BEAUTY MISSILE

An awkward jump cost him crucial early positioning last time out, forcing him to settle well off the speed. Despite the setback, he unleashed a sharp turn of foot in the straight, charging home to finish fourth, just 0.75 lengths behind over this track and distance.

Race 11 No 6 EMBRACES

In a painfully slow-run race last time out, those settling off the speed had little chance of winning. Despite covering extra ground early, he found the line well to finish fourth. If the tempo picks up this week, he will be a strong contender.
