He should get a lovely run from gate 1 and get every chance to win on debut. NIGHTWATCHMAN was well supported on debut and just missed. Pike retains the mount. RICH RED can lead again and be hard to run down. BURNING MAGIC will appreciate the drop in class. Numbers – 8 – 2 – 1 – 9 Suggested Bet – Something Big and Nightwatchman RACE 2 BERGIO looks very placed to make it consecutive wins.

Numbers – 1 – 2 – 3 – 7 Suggested Bet – Bergio win RACE 3 ANOTHER MAORI BOY has run well at both starts this campaign and the rise to 1200m should suit. Clint Johnston-Porter should give him every chance from a good draw. OUTSTRETCH resumes from a spell and Pike rides. His only start he found the line strongly over 1000m. KING COLE and SIRIUS PROSPECT both have claims. Numbers – 1 – 6 – 7 – 8 Suggested Bet – Another Maori Boy each-way RACE 4 The change in distance has really changed the complexion of this race with some notable scratchings already.

TOMMI TOOCAN ran well first-up.

Numbers – 2 – 4 – 1 -7 Suggested Bet – Main Instigator win RACE 7 MAJINIKA showed plenty of ability in his first preparation winning two of his five starts.
