Track: FIRM 2     Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with Buckleup Buddy leading from Soul Spirit and Dummy Spit. BUCKLEUP BUDDY (1) loves to find the front and that has proven successful in several recent races. He put a little margin on a small field three weeks back. He is every chance to build on that again. CEE PEE ONE (4) is still yet to break the maiden but the last outing is not one to use as form given the start. Has to be given another hope. DUMMY SPIT (2) has several races which show he is up to this. Should be getting a soft run all the way. COUSIN NICCI (5) does produce her best racing forward. Is coming back even more ground. ROSE OF DENMARK (3) has got a nice record at this course so watch the betting. SUGGESTED PLAY: Buckleup Buddy is going very nicely.
