|---|---|---|---|---|

Good tempo expected with Runninwiththedevil, Jaffira and Rosina rolling forward. LADY OF COURT (8) has raced super in five of her last six starts. Obvious top tier threat in this. Win chance here at home on dry or wet ground. ROSINA (9) was a good placing fresh up. Has paid a dividend second up before. Include the mare everywhere in this. JAFFIRA (2) is a local and suited here in this Highweight field. He is a course winner. Big chance in this field drawn the ace. GIN GIN (11) was a fair effort fresh up for a new stable. Won her Maiden second up it should be noted. Not the worst in this line up. RAAJOICES (1) is a class dropper resuming in this. Wet tracker. He is a chance with conditions to suit. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lady Of Court and Jaffira are win wagers.
