Form Analysis by Rob Auber
Race 1:
OVERVIEW: IMA TERMINATOR (5) is a lightly raced pacer that has endured his share of setbacks throughout his career but has shown to possess plenty of ability. Not far away last start against some smart types and strips fitter being third up from a spell. Can fight out the finish. BIZZNESS CLASS (1) drawn to sit behind the speed and can threaten from the pole position draw along with SHADES OF MIKI (8) that will follow through nicely and enjoy a soft trip and must be respected. ROYAL APPOINTMENT (12) ROCKELLA (10) CLASSIC LINE (3) and STEEL RULER (9) are going well and are amongst the place and first four hopes.

Race 2:
OVERVIEW: MISTER BLINDSIDE (6) resumes here since April and has been a quirky trotter throughout his early career possessing his share of vices however there is no denying his natural talent. Strikes a very suitable race and the sprint trip should suit. Hard to hold out on his best manners. CALL ME JACK (5) is racing very well and bursting to win for trainer Matt Purcell. Not blessed with early speed however there is a lack of speed from the front line and if he can find a spot early, he’s a major player again. ROCKY VALLEY (8) has the class to figure in the finish and will need some luck from inside the second-row draw. NAKEDTRUTH (10) good effort to win from the front line draw last start and will be running on along with PREFERRED LOVE (12) and both must be respected. CENTURION DREAM (3) OX KNOX (4) and MAESTRO (1) have front line draws to be in this for a long way whilst DEEJAY DEX (13) strips fitter and does have loads of talent and could be a blowout chance.

OVERVIEW: FINAL BOW (4) was very brave holding off the challengers last start and looks well poised again to be settle on the speed and should prove hard to beat. Both ANYWHEREIGOHUGO (11) and G B BRAVE (10) ran very well last start and will be running on late and can pose as threats again. CARUSO STAR (9) good effort when first up and wasn’t far away. Fitter, gets a nice trailing draw and will be closing late. GUARANTEED TROUBLE (8) in very good form faces an awkward inside second row draw but if the breaks come his way he can figure in the finish.

Race 4:
OVERVIEW: COLORADO GIRL (5) showed early speed to work to the lead last start and was just run down in slick times. Might give a sight again.
