RACE 6 

CAPTAIN SHUFFLES (5) was terrific in a trial prior to resuming when rating fast time and appearing to do it with relative ease. He then was able to lead on return showing brilliant gate speed and ran an excellent race leading when finishing second to the superstar Leap To Fame. He should be able to work across to the lead again and should be winning if he can repeat his first up effort. 

TIGER BAND WAGON (2) trialled well prior to resuming finishing second behind Dashing who has come out and won before running second to Leap To Fame since the trial. He secured a good run on return and was running on fairly late into fourth. He is likely to have derived benefit from the outing and should be suited by a step back to the shorter 1660 trip. 

DISTRICT ATTORNEY (1) has a good draw in this race and should get a soft run just behind the speed. He raced without luck last time out when attempting to cross early before being shuffled back and had to settle for sixth there. He should get a lot more favours this time. 

TIMS A TROOPER (6) didn’t seem to possess his usual dash when struggling to go with the runner up behind his champion stablemate Leap To Fame in Dashing. He draws poorly in this race and will likely need the race run to suit to bring him into the race. 

SELECTIONS: CAPTAIN SHUFFLES (5), TIGER BAND WAGON (2), DISTRICT ATTORNEY (1), TIMS A TROOPER (6)
