RACE 2 

CATSEYE BEACH (1) burned very hard to lead two starts ago and was beaten just 5.2 metres by the in-form Attachment who is set to go around a short-priced favourite in the open class pace later in the card. He and was just run down by Double Lou in late June. He should lead and take all kinds of running down in this race. 

AIR EXPRESS (8) should get a good run through behind the likely leader in the race. He followed through nicely two starts ago and was able to run fourth behind Rakasandy not beaten too far. He should get the right run and can be running on late. 

SMARTER THAN YOU (9) was left without cover and wasn’t beaten too far by Fate Awaits in a race which didn’t suit runners off the pegs. He should get a good run off the speed and can be running on late. 

EXCLUSIVE HUSTLER (3) couldn’t quite show enough gate speed last time out to hold out Rakasandy who was able to lead all the way. He draws less favourably this time and is set for what looks to be quite a tough run on paper. 

SELECTIONS: CATSEYE BEACH (1), AIR EXPRESS (8), SMARTER THAN YOU (9), EXCLUSIVE HUSTLER (3)

SUGGESTED BET: CATSEYE BEACH (1) to win.
