Track: Soft 6 Weather: Fine

Schwarz looks well placed here from the wide barrier. Knocked up last run but showed plenty the run prior and will take beating in this. Semillion should land on speed and prove hard to hold back. Should be hard to run down. ArcticGlamour maps well from barrier 4 and looks suited to this field. Shezanalister should get a good run in transit and looks a solid hope. Ka Bling won nicely last start and can go on with things.

1. Loch Eagle (7)

Needs to lift on form.

2. Semillion (9)

Has been racing honestly this prep. Should be up on the speed and hard to hold out against this lot.

3. Schwarz (11)

Barrier makes things hard but racing in good fashion prior to the last start flop. J-Mac steers from the wide draw and this race looks within reach.

4. Banju (3)

Can’t have.

5. Ka Bling (5)

Barrier 5 is ideal. Comes off the back of a strong last start effort and can go on with things here. This race suits.

6. Much Much Better (8)

Hasn’t won in a long time but does find the right race. This looks achievable and loves racing on this track. Doesn’t win out of turn.

7. The Face (1)

Can’t have.

8. Steel City (6)

Needs to lift on form.

9. Arctic Glamour (4)

Has 2 wins and 4 placings to date from 11 goes and this race looks suitable. Has form amongst some likely types and looks the right price.

10. Shezanalister (2)

Racing well and should land up on speed and prove hard to run down. Loves racing on this track and handles all conditions. This suits.

11. Junqueira (10)
