Race 3 No 5 DAZZLING FIT
He had no luck on debut 22 days ago, traveling smoothly off the speed before running into trouble in the straight. Between the 200m and 100m, he struggled for clear galloping room, and by the time he found daylight in the concluding stages, the race was already beyond reach.
Despite this setback, his sixth-place finish was creditable, and with better luck in running, he has every chance to make amends second-up.
Race 8 No 7 SHAMUS STORM
The change of tactics didn’t work in his favour last time out, as he settled closer to the speed but weakened in the straight, finishing eighth over this track and distance. Before that, he showed promise on debut, finishing a strong second after running on well.
His impressive recent trial suggests he will revert to a more conservative racing style, and with that adjustment, improvement is expected.

Race 4 No 2 BEATO
Well-rated in Class 4, he flashed home late to grab third over this track and distance last time out, despite encountering minor traffic issues in the straight. With his sharp turn of foot, he will be a major threat late—provided the race unfolds in his favour.
Race 7 No 4 C P BRAVE
It’s worth overlooking his last start, where he showed little after settling off the speed from a wide draw. Instead, focus on his eye-catching effort two starts ago, when he finished strongly into third in a slowly run race. Notably, the winner, MOMENTS IN TIME, has since franked the form with a solid third in a subsequent Group 2 feature.
