Green Team Station was a 34,000gns purchase for Charles Hills and was seen once in England under him at Newbury when fifth of nine runners over seven furlongs in a cracking contest.
The first and second that day have gone on to win again more than once in superb contests and following that form line he could have a big chance now with Doug Watson.

Next is the Charlie Appleby trained Silent Film who looks tough to beat in this seven furlong event having two wins from five in England, most recently landing a decent handicap at Sandow over today's trip.
He is 5lb higher today but gets his perfect conditions and the yard and rider are in flying form.

The feature race of the day is the Al Safa Library Conditions race over a mile and we are going with Charlie Appleby's second string La Barrosa.
Fast ground loving Group Three winner that lost his way slightly last term but was a narrow second in the Craven Stakes on debut and getting back to that form makes him a player.

Ex Charlie Appleby trained runner now with Doug Watson who has a superb pedigree and although needing to bounce back to form could improve to the change to dirt.
He has been running in much better races than this in England and stepping up to a mile could be the making of him.

The final selection is the Doug Watson trained Jadwal who was a smart runner for Charles Hills in England placing in some value sprint handicaps and now being tried at the minimum trip on quick ground, he could go well.
One to watch.
