AU - Forbes - Race 1

REGALADE (1) came from last at one stage to get up for second in an impressive form reversal over 6f at Warren last start. Nicely placed over the extra ½f and in a race of questionable quality he gets his chance to break through. BAULKHAM HILLS (7) had the first run back from a six-month spell for a new stable last time out and was just fair in finishing sixth over 6f. Lightly raced mare who will take a lot from that run and can play a bigger role this afternoon. DISTANT STRIPES (5) placed on three consecutive occasions before failing on a heavy track at Wagga most recently. Deserves another chance. BANGELZ (2) appreciated the drop in grade when a closing third over 6f at Cowra last start. That was her first run in a month so there is more improvement to come. BLOOMIN' HELL (8) returned from a spell with an eye-catching second at Narromine six weeks ago. Nicely drawn and should be competitive again.
