No. 4 Mindblower exits our HTW list off a big win first time out of the gate for trainer Puype. No. 3 Hawaiian Springs ran big in his first try around two turns and may be the one to fear most late. No. 5 Close To The Edge has run good in all four of his lifetime starts. ALL
Race 6
No. 1 Bitt A Heat looks live at first asking for trainer Paddy Gallagher as her Dam has dropped three winners from three starters including a turf winner and her Unusual Heat/Nuareyev breeding screams grass.
