RACE 1

3 MALMESBURY MISSILE ran a fair race in the Charles Dickens Stakes on the 4th of January, he is a lovely looking colt, he will enjoy the step up in trip to 1200m, there is absolutely no doubt he will be a massive runner here. 7 NEW WORLD was very green on debut, he was only beaten just over five lengths, he should make the necessary improvement from run one to run two, include him into the play at a decent price. 5 ROCKAROUNDTHECLOCK was gelded on the 9th of December 2024, he ran a decent race on debut when finishing just over six lengths behind Orbit, he looks like the type that will improve with every start, watch him closely. 4 VAPOUR TRAIL will need to improve significantly to win, he was well beaten on debut by Parental Guidance, now that he steps up in trip, he could sneak into the places. (Brandon Bailey: 3 – 7 – 5 – 4)

RACE 2

8 DIAMOND BOMBER has run three very good seconds in succession, her form is undoubtedly good enough to win this race, if she gets some luck in running from a tricky draw in a small field, she will be hard to beat. 1 CATCH A PENNY can be a temperamental sort, the blinkers stay on, and she steps up in trip to 1400m, she will be the biggest danger to Diamond Bomber on her recent form. 3 BEAUTIFUL SIDE showed good improvement in her second start at the races, champion jockey Richard Fourie sticks with this filly from a good draw, she is clearly improving and must be respected. 2 WINTER GAMBLE needs to improve quite a bit to win this race, the step up in trip could help her chances. (Brandon Bailey: 8 – 1 – 3 – 2)

RACE 3

7 TENPENNY was heavily supported in the market last time, he moved up like a winner inside the last 200m of the race and then took an awkward stride close to the finishing line, he finished second behind Red Dawn, if the race works out for him, he will have a big winning chance. 9 DUBBELOSIX has been rested and gelded, he ran on powerfully for second behind Western World on the 19th of November, if he doesn’t need the run badly, he will be a big danger for Tenpenny in the finish. 5 BRIGADIER BILLY improved nicely in his second start at the races, he is well bred and should get stronger with every start, he could be some value in this competitive race. 1 MANIKONGO will love the step up in trip from a good draw, watch for big improvement. (Brandon Bailey: 7 – 9 – 5 – 1)

RACE 4

3 FUTURE FREQUENCY has run two very good seconds in his last two starts, he should love the step up in trip, if he can build on his last performance behind Bombers In The Sky, he will take lots of beating. 5 UMFULA stayed on strongly late from a poor draw in his last start, he was only beaten just over two lengths by the winner, the step up in trip to 2000m should unlock further improvement, he will go very close to winning. 7 WOOD WORLD ran a fair race on the 11th of December behind Ardabil, he made up good ground late, this looks to be a nice race for him to be super competitive. 8 AHEAD OF THE FACTS will need to improve a few lengths to beat a horse like Future Frequency, he has run two decent races of late, he could sneak into the Quartets. (Brandon Bailey: 3 – 5 – 7 – 8)

RACE 5

10 DOUBLE DASH ran a lovely race against the boys last time, she ran third behind Express Yourself, the drop in trip to 1800m should be no problem at all, if she can get some luck in running from a tricky barrier gate, she will have a good winning chance. 4 HUNGA TONGA ran the best race of her career last time when finishing strongly for third, she has taken some time to mature, if she can bring that performance to the races again on Wednesday afternoon, she will be competitive. 9 STRAWBERRY THIEF ran a much better race on the 18th of January, she was drawn wide and stayed on late, the further step up in trip should help her chances, watch for big improvement. 1 BLOSSOMING MIND gets a perfect draw, she has been sparingly raced, there could be more improvement to come from her. (Brandon Bailey: 10 – 4 – 9 – 1)

RACE 6

4 MELA STRENGTH has been really consistent in his last few races, he ran a great race last time with a big weight on his back, he gets a good pull in the weights now with Summer Night City who beat him last time, this looks to be the perfect race for him, he should go very close to winning this Class 5 event. 3 SUMMER NIGHT CITY showed plenty heart to win a good race on the 11th of January, she was only given two points for that victory, again she must have a big winning chance. 1 PAST AND PRESENT finished just under one length behind Summer Night City in a driving finish last time, his last two runs have been excellent, from a good draw here, he must be respected. 5 RED DAWN quickened up well to win a good race on the 15th of January, he is still improving but carries a big weight for his first run out of the maiden ranks, watch him closely. (Brandon Bailey: 4 – 3 – 1 – 5)

RACE 7

1 ENGLEFIELD GREEN put the record straight to win a lovely race on the 18th of January, she settled beautifully in running and then quickened smartly to win comfortably, the yard has always held this filly in high regard, now that she has the confidence, she could easily win again from a good draw. 7 JET TO THE SUN never runs a bad race, she finished her race off well on the 18th of December to beat Kamchatka in convincing fashion, she tries hard and should be involved again. 3 MY ONLY WEAKNESS has been consistent through her career, she ran a cracker last time when finishing second behind Summer Night City, this race will require more from her, but she is honest and should earn some money again. 4 LADY SPRINGFIELD has been rested for 71 days, she quickened up from a long way back to win well last time, she is still improving and must be included into all bets. (Brandon Bailey: 1 – 7 – 3 – 4)

RACE 8

4 BLACK PATH ran a top race on the 15th of January behind the improving December Dawn, Trainer Peter Wrensch has done a great job with this six-year-old mare, on her best form, she will have a good each way chance in this tough looking race. 9 ROYAL LYTHAM is as honest as they come, she was only beaten just over two lengths in her last start, her form is good, and she will have a massive winning chance. 6 WHY NOT JACKIE is much better than her last run, she needs cover early, if the race plans out for her, she could certainly win a race like this. 2 COUNTRY TIME has dropped further in the ratings, her last two runs have been fair, watch for big improvement from this individual. (Brandon Bailey: 4 – 9 – 6 – 2)

RACE 9

5 THE CHARLESTON is much better than her last run on the 18th of December, she is a decent filly on her day, unfortunately life won’t be easy for her with a massive weight on her back, but she is talented and must be respected in a wide-open race. 8 LOVE SHACK quickened exceptionally well to win a good race on the 22nd of December, this race does look far more competitive, but she is consistent, and she has a striking turn of foot, include her into all bets. 9 TANNERON bounced back to form on the 15th of January, she stayed on well to finish third, with a similar performance in this Class 4 race, she could certainly cause the upset. 3 BONNE BOUCHE has dropped further in the ratings, she is very fast and could make the exotics pay. (Brandon Bailey: 5 – 8 – 9 – 3)
