EGERTON was a stake bet on debut and had chance to pick up the winner but just needed an extra stride roughly, would have on top again. MIDNIGHT HUSTLE will save on, was jumping out okay before debut and was given a tough run on debut sitting wide no cover. Jay Bee Ell exotics. Aqueduct was a stake bet on debut but with hindsight probably just got sucked into that stable trialling and jumping out better than they actually are, goes in exotics. Too Darn Cold couldn’t have but big respect for trainer, will include for 3rd and 4th in First 4. Zorro’s Flight again couldn’t find but stable get them to run often better than they look at the trials or j/o’s on debut, so will include for 3rd and 4th, fitness will not be an issue because had about 30. Was surprised Nouveau was so short didn’t think had shown much although the recent bit of work was an improvement. Rambling is interesting, had shown f all to me but then recent was with Refusetobeenglish who came out and won like a stakes horse at the least imo but then Passing Through was able to look better then both of them and subs ran last in a maiden, if you can work that one out please let me, so depends what way you want to look at it, going to pull out the Refuse form or the Passing form. I would be thinking Refuse has somehow just improved about 20L race day. Rambling will go in as 3rd and 4th place chance in F4. Reluctantlycharmed is an old black book horse but isn’t showing much so just goes in for 3rd and 4th. I’ve backed EGERTON and then MIDNIGHT HUSTLE for a small win

BELCONY is one I’ve thought went alright, run out of excuses though, if ever going to win a race this would be it after the scratchings. STAR ANGEL was a bet first up but was very plain, goes in exotics with Cilacap who looks like might have some upside
