Race 1 summary - TIME ROGUE has been good since resuming but he has been on wet tracks both times which looks to have suited him. He will be up on the speed and if he finds the rails first he will be hard to run down. SUNNY SCENE should be improved off a tough fresh run, must be respected from this yard. BARSHONTI will get back and run on ok. HE'S A VALLEYBOY next best.
Race 1 tips - 1st: TIME ROGUE (6), 2nd: SUNNY SCENE (9), 3rd: BARSHONTI (1), 4th: HE'S A VALLEYBOY (2).

Race 2 summary - SO BELAFONTE was good resuming, he was heavily backed and ran on hard. Looks to benefit with the extra trip and getting back on a good racing surface. DON'T RETREAT may still need further but should be able to run into a place if there is a genuine tempo. BELZELADY Was big odds last start against the girls but attacked the line well from a mile back. DANCING JOURNEY fitter second-up.
Race 2 tips - 1st: SO BELAFONTE (4), 2nd: DON'T RETREAT (2), 3rd: BELZELADY (6), 4th: DANCING JOURNEY (7).

Race 3 summary - LA LA LUCHIE was another that was blackbooked on debut, she got well back in the run before charging late. Looks to have a future and if she doesn't win here, it will be next time over a little further again. A big watch on the first starter SOUND MONEY. For third, LITTLEBITFUNNY has speed, should be on the pace for a long way. MYRIADS the other main chance.

Race 6 summary - BEST FORTUNE has the good claim and looks we in after taking the 3kg. drops a stack in class for this, should be running through the line hard from mid-field. MAZUREK will find this tougher but gets a good claim and was super in defeat after sitting very wide last time. MIKAELA has been consistent this time in, she will get back but look for her late. NIGHT QUEEN looks well suited off the inside, if she takes a sit she should finish hard with a good run in transit.

Race 7 summary - HILLUMIERE has to step out of maiden grade but will have all the options with her tactical speed, can lead or take a sit.

Race 8 summary - COMPLETE CLASS will probably be giving them a start, all her form has been on good tracks which she should appreciate getting back to here. GRONKY and RED MEANCE will also likely be mid-field or worse settling. BALLISTIC MISSILE may add some value to the exotics, there doesn't appear to be a lot of speed and he may get the front cheaply.
Race 8 tips - 1st: COMPLETE CLASS (3), 2nd: GRONKY (1), 3rd: RED MENACE (2), 4th: BALLISTIC MISSILE (9).
