Race 2: PHELAN LUCKY(4)
Jockey: C Orffer - Trainer: B Crawford
The speedy and promising PHELAN LUCKY enjoyed being equipped with blinkers as he ran on well to beat MASTER'S SPIRIT over this trip at Kenilworth earlier this year. The three-year old chestnut seems to have escaped with just a three pound penalty and he can confirm the formline despite being 2.5kgs worse off with the latter.
Race 3: MISS SMARTY PANTS(1)
Jockey: C Orffer - Trainer: B Crawford
The consistent MISS SMARTY PANTS is the obvious form choice and her recent track experience should serve her well. That said, her latest effort indicated that she may prefer an extra furlong to be at her best. The well-bred STRAWBERRY FIRE had two fair outings in spring and she would have strengthened during her 17 week break. She was heavily supported behind subsequent winner Franking last time and clearly has room for improvement.
Race 4: SEQUINED(1)
Jockey: M Byleveld - Trainer: V Marshall
SEQUINED kept on well to win her comeback effort in a similar line-up over this c & d recently and she can follow-up despite top weight. ABOVE ELEVEN has a decent track record and she returned to form when only tiring late behind the first selection whom she meets on 2kgs better terms today. The best drawn daughter of Captain Al can reduce the 1.75 lengths deficit.
Race 5: BLACK PIMPINEL(3)
Jockey: D Dillon - Trainer: A Sands
BLACK PIMPINEL has shown up well in recent performances and the 5th placed finisher of his last start, Comfortably Numb caught the eye with a winning subsequent effort. This chestnut gelding has a decent record on this track and he is a lively contender.
VALUE BET FOR TODAY
Race 1: YOLTA(10)
Jockey: D Dillon - Trainer: J Ramsden
YOLTA was quietly fancied when she showed pace before tiring on debut behind subsequent winner Carioca over a similar distance and she should make natural progression.
