Admirals Chance from the Alan Greeff yard takes his place in Race 3. He set the pace in his last start over 1300m on the polytrack, fought hard but found one too good in the form of Chariot Master.
He has cracked a good draw of three and in this line-up, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
Hollywoodbets-sponsored trainer Gavin Smith saddles Maiden’s Cove in Race 6. She caught the eye when finishing her race off well over 2000m on this course last time. Her only victory came under apprentice Kaidan Brewer.
She jumps from a mid-field draw of seven and if repeating her last outing, she can return to winning ways.
