Race 1 (1,650m)

1 Double Bingo gets a welcome map upgrade on the quick back-up after wide draws forced negative tactics at his first two starts this campaign. Nichola Yuen should be able to make full use of barrier 3 and have him handy again, just as he was three starts ago when winning well. 12 Oriental Surprise keeps knocking on the door but finding one better, most recently going down by a neck. Zac Purton sticks with him and he gets another chance to finally convert. 13 Go Go Go has barrier 11 to overcome, but there is little speed on paper and he could feasibly slide across to lead, just as he did when winning a similar race four starts ago. 2 Hailtothevictors will appreciate getting back to the all-weather after racing on turf.

Race 2 (1,200m)

12 E Hopeful has little form on the board, but there have been excuses. He finished a close-up fourth three starts ago despite being held up, then had wide trips from poor draws in two subsequent runs. He resumes from barrier 3 and, at odds, might finally get things to fall his way. 13 Kol gets a meaningful jockey upgrade with Purton taking over after a first-up fourth that carried merit in a fast-run race. Barrier 2 should give him every chance to capitalise. 6 Happy Special has barrier 12 to navigate, but the lack of obvious speed could allow him to slide across, especially given what he has shown at the trials. 5 Lean Era also draws wide, but there was promise in his debut fourth last season when running on well. His return trials were quiet, yet he moved particularly well.

Race 3 (1,650m)

2 Talents Ambition has a strong record fresh and has trialled well for his return. He should be close enough to strike when it matters and looks the one they will have to hold out late. 3 Sing Dragon, a former stablemate, beat Talents Ambition by more than a length last season when allowed to dictate a slow tempo from the front. He sprang a massive upset on turf last start and now returns to the all-weather, where he will look to repeat those front-running tactics. 8 Loch Tay is another pace influence who gets in li...
