Race 1 (1,000m)
(7) EASY TIGER catches the eye and must be respected in this.

(4) TENJIKU cannot be taken lightly either.
(1) NYAKA NYAKA should be ready for this.
Race 2 (1,000m)

Race 3 (1,000m)
(7) DESERT CLOUD was beaten by a very good filly on debut. She returns from a lengthy break but can win if fit.

(1) ENDIZAYO seems better than her last run would suggest.
Race 4 (1,000m)
(5) CATCH A PENNY ran a great second behind Sohot Sowhat last time. Nicely weighted, she should love the drop to 1,000m.

Race 7 (1,600m)

Race 10 (1,600m)

(3) GREATERIX tried to do it the hard way again last time. He must not be taken lightly.
(1) COSMIC SPEED made a promising comeback performance.

(3) PRINCE OF TIBET ran a nice second last time behind True Horizon. He will be running on late.
(2) TRUE HORIZON finally got it right up the Kenilworth straight on Dec 18. She could easily give them all a fight in the finish.
(5) TRES CHIC can be quite tough to ride, but she has a good winning chance on her best form.
Race 15 (2,000m)
(5) RED MAPLE fought on best last time and can follow up if in the same mood.
(2) NONE OTHER was not disgraced last time and is weighted to win if at her best.
(8) EXPLOSIVE BOND flopped last time but can do much better and does have a winning chance.
(1) CRIMSON KING needed his last run, so expect a much better performance this time around.
Race 16 (1,200m)

(2) SILVER TUDOR was not disgraced last time and can earn some more money.
Race 18 (1,200m)
(6) KELP FOREST finished like a train to win a super race at Kenilworth on Dec 11. Blinkers stay on. With a similar run of his last start, he will be very hard to beat.
(8) MEANT TO BE has been rested for 105 days and has been lightly raced. His form is excellent, if he does not need the run, he will be a big danger in the finish.
(14) HEAL AND SOUL could be anything, he showed plenty of speed on debut and fought hard to win a good race, he looks the type that will get better and stronger with every start, include him into the play.
(11) SUN DAZED absolutely took off in the closing stages to run sixth in his last start. He gets a further rating drop and the blinkers go on, he could be the value.
Race 19 (1,160m)
(5) ZANTHAR only lacked extra very late and can be a threat this shorter distance.
(6) BIG BOY BRUCE is unbeaten in two starts this track and distance and can win again under a penalty.
(3) SECRET CHORD won full of running last month and could follow up.
(4) SEA WOLF is better than the last run would suggest and has blinkers carded for this run, so could surprise.
