7:15am - HEINEKEN 3 HANDICAP | 1000m | | i

Some of the pressure has come out of this race with scratchings, but we should still get a STRONG to FAIR tempo. ROYAL WITNESS (nice trial) will all be up on the pace looking for the right run, a track specialist that always digs in right to the line. Looking for horses that might be suited by a rapid tempo, NOVEMBER MAN (no trial) is an obvious one storming home from the back and RARE EPISODE (well-placed with claim) could be the one to find the ideal spot tagging up behind the pace on the rails. CLEAR THE BEACH and SOPHIELLA in the mix too. [updated 8:58am]
