    Race Analysis

    APULIA (2) settled well back then came home powerfully to score by 0. 7 lengths over 1m2 1/2f in the G2 Ted Van Heemst Stakes at this track last time out. Ideally placed to feature again. BUCKETS RIDGE (5) is coming off a determined win last start over 1m3f in the LR G. A. Towton Cup at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Down in the weights this time so he is a leading contender again. FILTHY HABITS (9) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was a head from the winner in second over 1m3f in the LR A T A Stakes at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. One of the main contenders. STORMAGEDDON (15) finished 2. 25 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1m3f in the LR A T A Stakes at this track. Drops in weight. Settles back early but winds up late. Can feature in the finish.
