Race 1: Fenwick Handicap
11 Joyful Champion is drawn to save ground on the fence. He gets his chance here, especially under no weight and over a suitable distance. One to beat. #3 Ai One can return to form after being withdrawn recently. He’s a solid operator, especially in this grade. Mid-race move is on the cards. #12 Golden Fairy could easily lead. He slots in light and should be giving this group something to reel in. #8 Diamond Winner continues to fly late and this test shouldn’t be an exception. He can make his presence felt once again.
Race 2: Fleming Handicap
4 Timestorm should already be a winner and he gets another chance to finally get on the board here, especially as he dips to Class 5 with the 10-pound claiming apprentice engaged. #3 Colonel makes the step down to Class 5. He’s been competitive in the grade above but this should seriously see him become a winning chance. #2 Hercules has the gate to overcome, however, is suited in this grade. He’s gone close several times already this term. #11 Double Show has the right gate and he should do next no work throughout.
Race 3: Jaffe Handicap (2nd Section)
