\n

Good runs in behind Mama\u2019s Wish and Wat Next in the last two performances from Another Collect (4) and if either of those runners was here they\u2019d be $1.10 and shortening. Doesn\u2019t win them out of turn but never far away from the action and looks incredibly well placed here.

\n

First up for a new campaign after just one run earlier in the season Field Of Gold (1) looks to have benefited from some time to the side judging by the recent workout victory. Was really buzzed up and ran a good last 800m. Inside draw here is golden and with a nice run should be hard to beat.

2 Cyclone Miki\u00a0<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

A lovely price on offer for the lightly raced but clearly very talented Cyclone Miki (2) here tonight. Was excellent advancing from the strong second on debut to winning last time out and while there\u2019s so much more season and experienced runners here, his natural talent should take him a long way.

Sliding back down the grades, Manchester\u2019s Moment (12) is going to find a race soon that\u2019s simply too good of an opportunity not to win and it might even be this week. Has more ability than most going around in this and with a good beginning should land close to the front half of the field and be a major player.

\n

Everyone\u2019s first choice for bet of the night at The Park tonight is Nazare (2). Excellent in all three of his runs back from a spell and in fields better than this one tonight too. Nice draw to use and he might land the trail for the entire which will make him even harder to beat up the straight.

\n

A really strong start to the campaign from Maro Mackendon (14) and should really be a horse still on the way up since resuming from the spell. Good beginning who will eat up the 20m handicap here and with a bit of luck in running should be charging at them late and going close.

Gets a key draw advantage over his key rivals tonight and if able to make the most of it he looks a very sharp each way chance.

Really hard to ignore the form of Shez Bella (7) in a couple of the open class trotting features here over the past month. Has found the line well in behind Higher Power on both occasions. This should technically be a lot easier and if she can get herself into a nice spot then she\u2019s a major player tonight.
