1 Brit Beach, trained by Lemax Farms
Won a little maiden at BTP but couldnt follow up in the mud at FL. He looks a little outclassed in this but she will appreciate the extra furlong and isnt without a place chance.

2 Unforgiving, trained by Mb Stables
Took an early season maiden and followed up in  CD allowance looking like one of the best early seasons types at the time. She confirmed that promise with a decent third in the Debutante and then a close second in the FL Sire stakes – vixen. She was just behind Komodo Freestyle that day but came from a little further back and this trip may suit her. A win chance.

3 Gunpowder And Lead, trained by Aer Stables
Bought for forty dollars from Downwind Stable after winning a maiden on a slow track she showed what a bargain she was when running home strongly from a wide gate in the My Dear. Clearly bought very cheaply i would imagine the trainer will be sending some vouchers t Downwind if she gets home today.

4 Komodo Freestyle, trained by Australia Wide
Ran home well to win the Vixen and renews her rivalry with the runner up today. It will be close again between them and the result may come down to who gets the best trip.

5 Wildly Cheap, trained by Tcl Barn
Still a maiden but has placed in all her four races. She is clearly better than a maiden and i liked the way she ran on to be third in the listed CTHS Mare Futurity last time. Nice enough works to make her an outside threat.

SUMMARY
On paper this looks a rematch between the top two stables in the game. I am favouring Unforgiving to turn the tables but i doubt there will be more than a half length between them so it will all come down to the trip rather than who is superior. I rather like Wildly Cheap for an outside bet in the Trifecta.
