    Race Analysis

    CRUISE TO RIO (2) wound up strongly in the run home last start to register an impressive win over 6f32yards at this track. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring two times and placing on three occasions from seven starts. Sure to go very well. NICCY'S AFFAIR (9) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on April 5 over 5f when she scored by a neck. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating again. TOP OF THE POPS (11) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 5f at this track. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form again. BRAVE APACHE (10) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 1. 2 lengths over 6f32yards at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
