Nice come into this game following three consecutive defeats: a home and away league game and a home Europa League game. Marseille have won their last two league games and in between those suffered a Champions League defeat at home to Atalanta. If Marseille win tonight, they will be one point clear of PSG, who play Le Havre on Saturday. Nice are ninth in the table, eight points behind Marseille. It was August back in 2022 that Marseille last traveled to Nice and came away with all three points. A chance to be top of the table could well lead to the Marseille players being more determined to get the win.

These two teams met earlier this month, and Hobart Hurricanes Women won by six wickets. Having won their last five matches, back them to make it six in a row.

Since they last met, the WAS Wizards have played sixteen games, which saw them lose fourteen and win two. The TOR Raptors won their last meeting and, having won nine of their last ten games, I am taking them to do so again.

Adelaide Strikers Women have won five of the last six meetings. The only defeat came due to the weather when the DLS rules came into play. Providing the weather doesn't interrupt this game, taking Adelaide to get the win.

The last four times Pic D'Orhy has raced at Ascot, he has won. He has won this race for the last two years with winning margins of sixteen lengths and three and a half lengths. He obviously likes this track and trip, so I'm going for the Paul Nicholls-trained Pic D'Orhy to win this race for a third time.

The last time Lossiemouth was seen in public was when winning the Aintree hurdle at the Grand National meeting. Although she normally runs over a longer trip and has not won on her last two attempts at two miles, this looks a race Lossiemouth can win providing she stays on her feet.

This will be Ma Shantou's first visit to Haydock. He has won three of his last six races. Two of those wins came on a left-handed course, which is the same as Haydock. He reappeared at Cheltenham last month and was a comfortable winner. He won his second race of the season last year, which happened to be in November. Hopefully, history will repeat itself despite the nine-pound rise in the weights.

The Gordon Elliott trained Wodhooh has raced eight times. In those races she has won seven and finished second. The only horse to have beaten her is the Willie Mullins trained Lossiemouth. Nothing of Lossiemouth's caliber appears to be in this race so every chance Wodhooh will get the win.

In each of the last four Ashes series, one of the five matches has finished in a draw. Although England have a very poor record when playing in Perth, this time they are playing in a different stadium. With neither team wanting to lose the opening game, going for a draw.
