SILVER WARRIOR was a runner-up in his last two starts over 1400m. The three-year-old bay gelding jumps from a good barrier position today and interesting to note top jockey Vlad Duric jumps aboard.

ALWAYS TOGETHER led all the way to win his penultimate start over this course and distance. The four-year-old bay gelding finished fourth in his last start when jumping from a wide barrier position, he’s much better drawn today and he has a lot of early speed, chance.

JULY from the J Ong stable finished runner-up in his last two starts over this distance. The three-year-old chestnut gelding is well-drawn today and should shed his maiden tag today.

RACE 6 – Time: 08:30 | Class 4 Handicap | 1700m
Selections: 1/7/3
This should be a close run race between the top picks. RODA ROBOT strong in winning last start on this track over 1600m and has shown early speed in races to date, one of the main hopes. TENNET TENTENNET has two wins from 12 attempts this campaign and finished half a length back from the leader last start, in with a chance.

Selections: 1/5/2
KHAO MANEE from the J Tan yard showed good improvement in his latest effort over this course and distance. The six-year-old bay gelding is much better drawn today and must have a say here. TIGAROUS has three placings from five runs this campaign, like the top selection the son of Dragon Pulse is slightly better drawn today and could upset.
RACE 8 – Time: 09:30 | Novice | 1400m
Selections: 2/3/8
The lightly raced BAKEEL from the Steven Burridge yard produced an eye-catching comeback run over 1200m. The three-year-old bay gelding runs well for Manoel Nunes and will strip much fitter today.

Selections: 4/1/3
COMMANDER JONES finished a close-up third over this course and distance in his last start from a wide draw. The three-year-old grey gelding runs well for jockey Ryan Curatolo and if overcoming a wide barrier position today he must have a say. GOLDEN EIGHTYONE from the L Khoo yard, gutsy maiden win over 1200m in latest start. The 3-year-old bay gelding placed in previous start over 1400m and jockey Marc Lerner retains the ride.
Race 10 – Time: 10:30 | Class 4 Handicap | 1400m
Selections: 1/4/5
ENERGY BABY was a winner on his last start over this course and distance. Jockey Ryan Curatolo has had success aboard previously, and the five-year-old grey gelding can follow up here. STAR NORTH from the J Peters stable cruised in last time over this course and distance. The four-year-old bay gelding is drawn slightly wide today but if overcoming his wide barrier he must have a say here.
Race 11 – Time: 11:00 | Class 4 Handicap | 1200m
Selections: 1/6/3
KING ZOUSTAR from the J Ong stable is seldom far off. The son of Zoustar loves this distance having won 10 times over this distance. Top jockey Vlad Duric jumps aboard and if overcoming the wide barrier position he must have a say. GREAT WARRIOR is the stable companion to the top selection and resumes after an 18-week break. He is generally strong first-up, among the chances.
