Magic Control Holds Key

RACE 1 (1,200M) 5 Savvy Twinkle has shown enough in trials to suggest he can make a winning debut. 1 Fun Elite looks primed to deliver. The rise to 1,200m looks timely. 10 Spicy Spangle has the potential to dictate terms if left unpressured. 2 Riding High is gradually finding his form in this class.

RACE 2 (1,800M) 2 Smashing Express produced a strong third over the mile on his first attempt in the cellar grade last time. Rising to 1,800m and drawing barrier 1, he gets conditions to suit and looks well-placed for his maiden win. 12 Turtle Again has been catching the eye with late finishes. A solid trial in between runs suggests he is ready to figure prominently from a favourable low draw. 1 Go Go Go faces a wide barrier. With limited early speed, he may opt to take the initiative to secure a forward position. 3 Gluck Racer steps into unknown territory at this distance but maps to enjoy a soft run from his inside gate.

RACE 3 (1,200M) 12 Invincible Lucky looks poised for marked improvement after settling too far back in a slowly run race last time, where the tempo worked against him. 1 The Boom Box won impressively on debut. A sharp trial between runs suggests he can continue his winning streak. 9 Island Breezes has several positives going for him, including barrier 1. That should see him well positioned near the pace with every chance. 2 Thriving Brothers returned to form with a closing third last time despite a tough run. Well-drawn, he looks ready to capitalise.
