Fortaleza should be able to slide over comfortably and lead. CARSON RIVER has to cope with a tricky draw but is clearly the one to beat. Has been heavily-backed both runs and finds easier than last time. ABACUS debuts for Baker off a nice trial win. He draws inside and is sure to race boldly. OUR ROSE ROYAL will get back again from the wide gate but finished it off well at to place Matamata and looks a hope.
This maiden event looks to have the bet of the day in CARSON RIVER that should despite a wide gate beat them senseless anyway. This is easier by a margin than the last time seen out when wide and not shirking the run home at all. FORTALEZA a trifecta and first four chance. ABACUS on debut is drawn to be a chance. Trial winner and the tote price will add up to make him an include. Dr Hank and Dear Douglas the next best duo for your multiples. Princess Dillon runs for a new yard and might be a sly one at double figures. SUGGESTED PLAY: Carson River makes strong appeal. Abacus is an obvious market watch.
