Selections: 8-4-7-3

6 Lulu’s Dream ran down her promising brother on debut on Friday from the same draw. Gets a crack at a maiden bonus win. 4 Save Time hasn’t raced for six weeks after an encouraging third over 457m. 9 Big Time Kimetto is better than he has shown so far & a recent 17.72s trial at Hatrick suggests better is to come.
Selections: 6-4-9-3
| 6. Lulu’s Dream (6) 1T: Lisa Cole |
4 Tapu Girl steps up in class after another smart win on this track. Looks up to the challenge. 6 My Mini Me ran faster than her kennelmate 4 Tapu Girl when winning in this grade on Friday although she had the better of the conditions on the day.
Selections: 4-6-5-2

2 Hanoi beat a small field to win a maiden here then doubled up at Hatrick. Up in class but it’s not a strong field. 4 Goldstar Olivia struck on the downgrade on Friday so is a Quaddie include.
Selections: 2-4-7-3
8 Big Time Grande was run down late after crossing to the lead on Friday. Was well clear of third. 3 Old Pal ran a decent time when beating a lesser field a fortnight ago. Not known for back-to-back wins but he’s at tempting odds.
