Vulnerable favourite on the card:
Race 4 Midnite Promise (2-1): Was a very disappointing favourite in his last running 8th beaten 3 lengths, he was never asked and after watching the race again I couldn’t find an excuse for the bad run. After winning only once in 33 tries I will hope he runs another race like he did in his last at 2-1 and try and beat him.

Horses coming out of key races (races where multiple winners have come back next time out and won):
Race *792 (Winners: 2nd & 10th, second: 11th)
Race 2 Gracious Ryder (7-1)

Race 022 (Winners: 6th, 7th & 10th)
Race 3 Striking Star (32-1)

Race 173 (Winners: 4th & 12th, second: 5th)
Race 1 Le Pegase (9-1)


In the event of rain these horses have shown an appreciation for soft footing. (Good to Yielding or Yielding):
Race 3 Trendiful (16-1)
Race 6 Right Call (16-1)
Race 8 Energetic Class (22-1)

Last race watch list horses:
Race 8 Diamond Master: Was lucky to draw the rail after drawing outside post lately, broke well and sat right off the leaders and was more full of run than what he’s been normally showing lately. Was making a move to the front at the 250 mark when Berry on Storm Signal came out and forced Lai to severely take up on him, he put the stick away and just let him gallop out afterwards. (My luck he draws the outside post again.)
