CAP FERRAT TO GET BACK TO HIS BEST IN G3 SA SA LADIES' PURSE

3 Perfect Peach is well placed to bounce back to winning form from barrier 4. He chased back-to-back wins last start but could not reel in all-the-way winner Ninja Derby. This set-up looks more suitable, and he should get every chance.

RACE 1 (1,600M)

8 Smashing Express draws perfectly in barrier 1 and the addition of blinkers for the first time could provide the spark he needs.

2 Celestial Harmony has improved since dropping in class and was unlucky last start when hemmed in traffic late. He will need some luck from barrier 12 but has plenty of time to find a position.

5 Smart Beauty maps far better this time from barrier 4 after enduring a tough, wide trip last start. That gives him a chance to lift his form for the first time this prep.

RACE 2 (1,000M)

3 Jumbo Blessing has impressed at the trials, showing both sharp gate speed and the ability to settle before finishing off strongly. He looks well prepared and ready to run a race on debut.

10 Straight To Glory should take good improvement from his first-up third over this track and trip, his first run since finishing behind Bulb General in July. That form reference reads well against this field of newcomers.

5 Run Run Sunrise must be respected if Jumbo Blessing is considered a chance, having had his measure in their past two trial heats.

6 Sight Hermoso ran better than his debut sixth suggests, making late ground after being hemmed and with typical improvement expected from a John Size-trained galloper second-up. He is one to keep safe.

RACE 3 (1,400M)

1 Circuit Fiery has been knocking on the door with four straight placings since the class drop and looks ready to put it all together. He is third-up, trialled nicely between runs and, from barrier 3, should get the perfect run to finally break through.
