Hitotsu @ Arrowfield BM 78
Loving the look of this race, especially if they give us $4.40 about SOUL CHOICE. She is a solid mare, just short of stakes grade, and in fact when fit probably is stakes level. Should go forward here while fresh, take up the running and handle these comfortably for mine. BLACKCOMB will finish well for 2nd.
John Ramsey BM 68 Hcp
Beautiful race for the top weight SOVEREIGN FUND. He resumed from a spell last start, wore blinkers in a BM 72 and ran 5th but should have won the race. Got caught up behind traffic all the way around the home turn and into the straight. Should settle back and come with a powerful burst.
All Too Hard BM 72 Hcp
The battle of the Europeans here. I like FOR VICTORY to handle the trip and heat better than the fav MR BUSTER. Both won their last races in Europe and look a cut above these. Quinella them all day.
Two Bays Farm BM 64 Hcp
I like the look of this lightly raced galloper from the in form Phillip Stokes yard called PRANCING SPIRIT. Beaten this trip when resuming last start but did run gamely when 5th. Similar here. Fitter though and there has been considerable wagering on him overnight.

Loved the way this Kiwi 3YO SALTCOATS charged home when 5th on Aussie debut last start. This is easier and longer and he is fitter. Joao Moreira has been booked for the ride. Should win from the in form SILVANITO.
