Helioncentric - 8:12 - 7/1

It's a significant step up for the 3 year old fillie from the Meat stable to be running alongside A division horses but she's still capable of doing well in this company. In 23 career runs so far Helioncentric has recorded 4 wins and 14 placed finishes. The last of those four wins came on yielding (the going for tonight's race) in Hong Kong over 7 furlongs back on the 12th of April. In a full field she won by over a length and a similar performance today would be welcome. A win is possible but a place is more likely.


August Sixth - 8:48 - 44/1

Over the past two days this horse from the alice cartier stable has recorded a fine win and a second placed finish. The win came on fast in the USA yesterday when the 5 year old colt was carrying just 105 lbs. Today however he comes in as the heaviest horse in the field at 127 lbs. Often great horses can handle the extra weight but fitness levels can be difficult to deal with. Still at this price August Sixth is great value and if he gets a good start in this sprint he could register a place.

Spaniard (ESP) - 9:24 - 24/1

They'll be dancing in the streets of Madrid if this 2 year old colt can pull off a suprise win in the Lucky text tip and Getminted Monthly qualifier race at 9:24 tonight. Coming in with great form he's won in 1 and been placed in 7 of his 8 races to date. This level of consistency leads me to believe he'll give as good as he gets tonight and I predict another placed finish here for the horse from the Maximas stable.
