SONG OF THE CLOUDS (2) Fresh today after a break. Shot clear to win by 3 1/4L last run at Redcar and taking on easier opposition. Has a good draw. Go well. WOOTZ (1) Gave them a lesson when winning by a margin of close to 7L last start at Ffos Las and fitter for debut run. Drops back to a suitable class. Ready to win. JOURNALISM (3) Night Of Thunder 3yo having first race start for Hamad Al Jehani. Respect the betting. REGATTA (7) First up after a break. Finished 6th last start at Wolverhampton but lining up against easier rivals. Coming to a new trainer. Could find a place.

Kicked clear when winning by nearly 7L last start at Ffos Las and having second race start. Should muster plenty of early toe. Facing weaker opposition. Expected to be competitive.

First up from a spell. Dominant winner by 3 1/4L last run at Redcar and will find this grade more suitable. Will try to take advantage of the draw. Should go well.

Resuming after a spell. At $29.00 weakened to finish 10th last run at this track but having second career run. Likely to get back in the field. Won't find this easy.

Started $41.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 11th last start at Kempton but having second career run. Expected to settle towards the rear. Will appreciate the drop in class. Prefer in something weaker.

First run back from a 53 week spell. Odds of $81.00 and struggled with the pace when 11th last start at Southwell but was on debut last time. Will need to lift.

Back from a break. Started $12.00 and ran 6th last start at Wolverhampton but facing less formidable opponents. Change in trainer. This is a tough race.
