A\u00a0<\/span>short priced<\/span>\u00a0favourite to start the day and\u00a0<\/span>perhaps a<\/span>\u00a0stack load of multis on Diamonds Day, Princess Lisa (1) really should be winning.

The ace draw is perfect and with a run on the markers near the speed looks set to win.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Still on the way up after a long time away from the track, you get the feeling this is the race Fiery\u00a0<\/span>Bandito<\/span>\u00a0(7) has been aiming towards.

This has been the target for a wee while now for Roger That (2) and after a good blow out of the cobwebs a couple of weeks ago, should be primed and ready to rock and roll today. Nice draw to use and a few options for Dalgety to ponder but\u00a0<\/span>he\u2019ll<\/span>\u00a0be fighting out the finish.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

The real version of Dreams Are Free (3) stepped out last time and showed his quality with a brilliant win.

No fault in anything Dame West (7) has done to date and chased home hard behind a smart one last time.
