Form Analysis by Rob Auber
Race 1:
OVERVIEW: SNOW HUNTER (4) should be primed fitness wise and draws favourably to take up a forward position and expect a big showing. QUIET STORM (11) one of the class runners but faces a challenging draw. He should be working home strongly in this and is a definite chance. HERNIE (1) going well without winning but draws to get an ideal trip on the pegs along with A ROCKNROLL JET (8) and both have claims. SILVER MYSTIQUE (2) will settle behind the speed and is always a late threat whilst TREACHEROUS REIGN (3) can take up a forward position and must be respected. CAPTAIN BARNATO (9) fitter and should keep improving whilst THE SPORTZ STAR (6) HEZ ALL ROCK (10) IM SHADOW BOXER (12) TIME TO TORQUE (5) and NOSWEETSFORYOU (7) all have good ability but face tricky draws and if the breaks come their way are capable of being in the finish.

Race 2:
OVERVIEW: METRO ASSASSIN (9) is now under the care of trainer Wayne Ross and has impressed at all three runs to date. Smart pacer that will be storming home late. BAKERS BANDIT (5) should appreciate the front-line draw and is a likely improver in this and can figure in the finish. ANGELSHAVTIME (6) has been close to another win in recent times but struggling to nail that victory. Going well and is one of the main chances. EASTBRO KOZZY (10) has been in good form having won two of his past three starts though those victories were from the front-line draw. Must be respected. YANKEE MOJOH (3) lightly raced but has ability. Should find this easier than last start and has claims. MONTANA PRIDE (8) will get a good smother here but will need to find the right openings to be savaging the line late. Definite hope.
