RACE 1 

ROCK HAMMER (1) has good gate speed and should be able to drive through and lead which is a position he loves to race in. He sat without cover two starts ago applying pressure to the leader and was able to battle on well for a good third behind John Wayne. 

MY ULTIMATE CARTER (7) should get a good run through behind the likely leader in the race. He finished close up behind STORMTIDE (2) recently when getting a similar run to what he is likely to get in this race. 

BUDDY PERFECT (5) didn’t have a lot of luck last time out when drawing awkwardly inside the back row in a race there was some early trouble for a few of the runners in front of him. He should find this easier and can figure in the right run. 

STORMTIDE (2) has returned to form in recent outings and was particularly impressive last time out when running second to Sporty Zara after sitting without cover. He draws well in this race and should run well again. 

SELECTIONS: ROCK HAMMER (1), MY ULTIMATE CARTER (7), BUDDY PERFECT (5), STORMTIDE (2)

SUGGESTED BET: ROCK HAMMER (1) to win.
