REDDY TO FLY (4) is racing well and shouldn’t be too far away. HOT ROD (8) and CHALKY WHITE (7) will run on with even luck. Tips: 9 5 3 4 Suggested Bet: KOPPER KOTE (9) each way. Race 5 LORD TITANIUM (9) drops in grade and is a work horse, can watch things unfold early and be put into it, suited in this.

Race 6 DEE JAYS BIG BOY (2) looks a big chance to work to the top and was playing a big part in the finish last time out before breaking, his run at Northam was full of merit and looks hard to beat.

Race 7 SHESA ENCHANTRESS (4) looks better suited off the front row as she had to make ground wide last time out, looks the potential leader here and can get the job done. LOWLANDS BEACH BOY (1) has a lovely draw and can feature in the money. DEVIL MAN (6) must overcome a wide draw but was a better run last time out. PURELY PANDEMIC (7) caught the eye last time out and likely be three back the pegs and will be running on.
