Richard Farrell might not get things his own way up front with a few debutants lining up. SCHMOOZE (1) has produced two good runs so far this time in. He is well drawn in this. Win chance for certain. THINK I GOT CHA (3) has been twice placed but he is better than that overall. He has run fourth three times so far. Ace gate here. Include everywhere in this you possibly can. RICHARD FARRELL (6) was a trial third last month so is certainly forward enough to resume. Has not run badly at his last two starts. Wide draw. Can cope for certain. MATAKANA GIRL (15) ran quite okay fresh up. Trial fourth since. Wide draw. Chance here for sure in this. KINTARO (10) he has gone okay a couple of times so far. Sly one here at home. SUGGESTED PLAY: Schmooze is a win wager.
