10 Nothing But You <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Wanted to lock on a rein and run out a bit around the last bend last week, but an encouraging start to the new campaign for Nothing\u00a0<\/span>But<\/span>\u00a0You (10) all the same. Drops into this race beautifully and as the class horse of the field deserves the short quote. Should deliver too, even from the second row.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

\n

After looking all at sea in a trial prior to last week\u2019s debut, Easton Doll (3) did everything right and turned in a creditable effort for second. Should be a quick maiden winner from there and with a good draw to use tonight and a bit more experience, might not have to wait long for that win.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

\n

Really strong return to racing seven days ago from Nikolai Ray (2) when finishing fourth behind\u00a0<\/span>Mynameisjack<\/span>. Will have taken considerable benefit from that run and lands much better draw to use here tonight. Should have the measure of most here with the right kind of run.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Got back from a tricky draw and was steaming home once again and beaten by only a small margin in a blanket finish.\u00a0<\/span>Has to<\/span>\u00a0be driven cold, but a few spots closer tonight and he can steamroll to victory.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

A wee slide back in grade for Mystery Beach (8) here tonight and he should be primed to make the most of it. Can really ping the stands and it would be no surprise to see him land in front here and look to control things. Going good enough to win and has the right man in the bike to make it happen.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Mathematically it was impossible for Midnight Diamond (14) to win last time out and a late gallop showed\u00a0<\/span>she\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0still got a few kinks to iron out.
