Early thoughts and selections :

Race 1, Hold Fast and Digitalis
Race 2, Indigo Land to continue Indigo Magic's progress as a sire, albeit at 8/10. Will do doubles and trebles with this one.
Race 3, Welo to finally crack his maiden
Race 4, Alumunium the class horse but debuts on sand after a short break. Will include the 2 Hero'(s), Hailie's and Dependent in the pick 6..
Race 5, Running Fortune could excite all Portrush fans. Will ignore Hambile's last run and include him as well.
Race 6, If Art of War takes to this surface he might justify his short price. But they dont call the Captain, Courageous for nothing. Both in my pot.
Race 7, As the betting suggests, the bookies cant decide here. If Fair Brutus re-captures his early form, will give them a run for their money. American Emblem looks classy while Fuzzy Cuzzy is on the up on his favourite course and distance.
Race 8, Ouzo gajima and Pericles but Eighth Army looks the one here.

Happy punting.
