BEAUTY ALLIANCE CAN WIN AGAIN

Beauty Alliance was ultra impressive two starts ago when he won from barrier 1 under Zac Purton.

- 

RACE 1 (1,000M)

7 Plentiful was held up for running until after the 150m mark last start. He looks a better chance back at this distance and course, where he won his maiden three starts ago.

3 Speedy Fortune led and faded late last start, but he can sit off the pace too. A jockey switch to Matthew Poon is a positive.

5 Strive For Glory has been ridden on pace in two runs since the class drop, but his past success suggests a quieter ride could be the preferred approach. He cannot be overlooked.

6 Timestorm was well supported first-up last start but needed the run. He has since trialled well and looks primed to improve.

RACE 2 (1,200M)

3 Beauty Thunder showed improvement first-up, finishing fourth over 1,000m at his first run in Class 4 despite not having a clear run in the straight. The rise in trip is an advantage.

4 Judy's Great scored at big odds last start after racing wide throughout. He can repeat the dose from barrier 1.

11 Draco will need plenty to go his way from barrier 11. His last-start fourth was better than it looked, as he over-raced and lost momentum after being steadied at the 700m.

1 Golden Empire returns to Class 4, where he has a good record of two wins from four runs. Some of his recent close finishes in Class 3 also read well for this contest.

RACE 3 (1,200M)

10 Spirit Of Peace struck traffic and could not let down fully last start. He gets another chance.

7 Fortune Whiskey has made strides since joining David Eustace's stable. He broke his maiden last start and looks poised to continue his upward trajectory.
