R1: Tammany Hall a stand out on form, but the de Kock debutante could make her run, many of her siblings have proven effective over 1400, so all things considered, TH should have the edge; Quinine and Hallucination to fight out 3rd on form - possible improver to include in the quartet is Orinoco Rock with Mosia up

R2: Tough little field, but Jameson Girl stands out imo - fluffed her lines last time out, but she comfortably beat both Spring Wonder and Lady Starlett previously and is now much better off at the weights; La Roquette a bit of an unknown quantity, but if she runs according to her price tag, should beat these easily

R3: Kitty Pride comes out of a strong formline behind Rockin Russian, but even if not needing the run (as per the stable comments), I think Ninjara will have her measure - ran on really well in her debut over 1200 (22.1 secs for the last 400 if the Computaform is to be believed) and the stable always very competitive at this track; Wrap it Up could be a bit of a lurker from an in-form stable but needs improvement with Wind of Charne; Boudica has been bleeding, so Queen Anne and Kick Butt best of the rest imo

R4: Competitive handicap, complicated by many of the runners probably gearing up for the Grand Heritage, so all the runners in the betting need inclusion imo, as well as Morpheus who can upset at best

R5: Interesting fillies and mares handicap, where I prefer the 2 younger fillies Strawberry Pavlova and Only to Win; SP has shown in her last run that her rating is spot on, while OtW beat a weak maiden field in a canter and has run close to Desert Rhythm and was pipped by Neptune's Rain - she gets a kg from SP, so that could give her the edge; Goodytwoshoes has gone up from a 50 to 67 in her last 4 runs - imo will have her work cut out to beat the two younger fillies and could fight out third with At a Glance

R6: I fancy Open Road - 3rd run after a rest and has come down to a very competitive rating imo, also should hold Bally Swiss and Last Girl Standing on form; biggest danger is Martha's Vineyard, who should also hold LGS easily on their runs behind Ponchielli

R7: Jubilee Line the obvious one, the worry is that he is drifting in the betting If he needs the run too much, any of Dawn Assault, Stunned or Hieronymous can take advantage; Hot Curry imo needs improvement on exposed form to feature

R8: Competitive staying handicap to close; many runners closely matched and shortlist include both the Azzie runners, Arabian World, Gentleman Only and Eastern Pearl; next best for me is Polar Vortex and the roughie Sebastian, who on my ratings ran about 6 points above his official rating last time

Enjoy
