RACE 1: 16:57pm Ladbrokes Odds Surge Pace 2200m
The first is for the up to 39 pacers. TULLAH GIRL (2) was driven a treat when getting the job done last week and despite this being more depth will figure. YURUGA LASS (3) has been ok at past two without much luck so will get her chance from the draw. LE PIERRE (8), RAGING ON (9) and GOBSMACKED (12) have all been close up and wouldn’t dismiss at odds with same being said for the resuming MIKIYOURSOFINE (6).
RATINGS: 3-2-8-12
LIKELY LEADER: Yuruga Lass will look to work across early.
RACE 2: 17:38pm Ladbrokes Blackbook Pace 1680m
This is another open race over the sprint trip. POWER UP (4) obviously has ability but geez he has issues between the ears but if puts it altogether he is capable of taking this out. MR BONDI (2) has the draw to settle on speed and that is a plus over the trip. NATIONAL NEWS (3), RUBINS PLIGHT (5), THEE OLD BOMB (8) and LETSGOBRO (11) all should be included in the wider exotic placings.

LIKELY LEADER: Knock Out will hold up if they want but more than likely will hand to National News or Power Up.
RACE 3: 18:11pm Ladbrokes Bet Ticker Stakes 1680m
This is a competitive race where Charlie Castles trio of runners holds all the aces. LOU BABY (5) comes off a freshen up but raced through the classes last time in so will take beating on resumption.

STRANDED LOLLIPOP (5) got beat by a good one last time and only needs to run up to that to be in the finish.
