You have picked one of the most open races on the card. Category 4 was beaten by the formless Olofberg last time and is now 1.5kg better off for that 1.5L, so he should just about turn the tables on that one but little between them. They are both well exposed moderate 4yos. There are many others in the race with similar credentials, but more importantly 2 up and coming 3yos in Capt Flynt and Atomic Blonde which both have much more scope for improvement.
Best of Luck.

Race 1 We have Secret Dream having her second start after a pleasing debut. She showed more early pace than expected over the quick 1160m, and that run bound to have brought her on. I was hoping that there would be no scratchings, which would have brought her in to draw 5, but she remains at 7, which is not the worst draw but can be tricky at this track. She has a competent workrider who rides her regularly at home. Hoping that she can improve enough to win and that she handles the turn. Although I think she is the one they have to beat, I was amazed to see her open at 11/10- price is far too skinny. Kisumu, The Great Queen and Exultant all have fair form and although they have all have had plenty of chances and are no stars, they have the experience and the ability to win a maiden. Urban Oasis had top 2yo form with places in feature races, and if she is well then could win this despite the draw, but presumably she has her issues. There are also a few unknown quantities making their debuts.

thank you i did have a look at the race every horse you back is a risk its gambling 1450 is to short for the horse 72 merit rated 1600m last run in a 68 carrying 61.5 and got beat only 0.25l to so long spring who carried 54 so gave the winner 7.5kg ..atomic blonde before its last win had 4 and 5kg on the winners goes from a maiden to a 72 and drops half a kg captain flynt well just won a weak maide at level weights has to give CATEGORY 4 half a kilo who is a 2 time winner mever far off them and if you think captain flynt is an up and coming 3 yr old then one has to hope r2-15 runs today at 25 - 1 should be a cert in your book then just won a maiden giveing 2 time winners and even an 8 time winner weight ill take my chances with Category Four

I'll add my 2 cents - I agree with PeterD in that this one of the more open races on the card; this track not ideal for Category Four imo as he takes some time to unwind - must have a chance though along with Sleepinseattle; Captain Flynt I agree with bopp26 - not the strongest maiden form; I have gone for The Makwakkers twice and he ran unplaced both times, but imo has run some good races - especially that 2 lengths behind Promise giving her 2 kgs - inconsistent, but at his best will be right there imo; the biggest outsider Victoria Young tries blinkers and gets 3.5 kgs allowance courtesy of Mr Syster - one to make the trifecta and quartets pay

Tripod - at the weight and one of the hottest apprentices in the saddle for me is the best bet on the card; main danger Alex the Great
