Today we can make our money early and sit back and watch the Group 1 races knowing it will be another Sat night lobster feast. Mail is good today.

Race 1 n9 Shannara I’m told this neddy can reel off some smart sectionals and did win with a lot in hand last start. Up in grade but also continues improving

Race 2 n1 Al Dhafra This lovely beast won for us last start after looking a mess in the mounting yard. Our ratings man tells me this is the pick of the day while a pro punter tells me the 2000M suits ideally and he agrees this is the pick of the day. Hence all I can say is this is the pick of the day – get on!

Race 3 n3 Gold Water Gai has this neddy ready to control the tempo up front. Its form has been franked by some sweet performances in the Doncaster.

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
