Race 7: NIKITAS
Race 8: LANKAN RUPEE
Race 9: BLACK SHEEP
Race 6:
O’RACHAEL was forced to go back from the wide gate last start and hit the line hard without a lot of luck. Drawn to race much closer in this she’ll be hard to hold out despite the weight. MYSTIFIED is in peak form and the drop back to fillies grade will suit. If she gets cover she’ll go close. MANDEE will run her usual honest race from the good gate and MOONLOVER is in well with the claim if the young rider has some luck from the bad gate. Respect any betting moves with some lightly raced fillies.
Race 7:
REVOLVING DOOR was luckless last start off the track and still only went down very late. Super fit, he’ll either lead or box seat and be super tough to beat. WAYANKA only needs to jump clean to be a danger with Williams taking over. He’ll charge through the line. HAY BALE falls straight into the box seat. He’s right at his peak for this so has solid claims. NIKITAS is in ok with the claim, he’ll charge home if he can get cover.
Race 8:
SUPIDO showed a sharp turn of foot first-up and he looks even better suited getting onto a track with a touch more give. From the good gate, he should be the one to beat. ABILITY rises in grade again but he is airborne. Held up until straightening he’ll sprint hard. Big betting watch CHOCOLATE HOLIC and the class runners KEEN ARRAY and LANKAN RUPEE can’t be left out.
Race 9:
Deep betting race to finish the day. PORTION CONTROL was dominant last start when the blinkers went on. Drawn for a soft run midfield, he’ll go close again. BLACK SHEEP always lifts 2nd-up. A soft run gives him each-way claims. GALAXY RAIDER always must be included. One day everything will fall into place and he’ll destroy a field like this. LUCKY PADDY and DOMINO VITALE are both ready to improve and others have claims.

Race 9: PHILOSOPHY
Race 6:
ENCOSTA LINE worked home solidly to win at Flemington this trip last start. Has the same weight and a winner at Rosehill. Right in the mix again. ZOURKHAN Flemington winner resuming two runs back and just missed at the same track last start. Has won third-up previously and rates a winning chance. LIFE O’BRIEN won successive races at Canterbury before placing this track and distance last start. Nothing to suggest he won’t be in the finish again. VASSAL hasn’t been far from the winner both runs this time in at Caulfield. Has a good record this trip and worth including in the wider exotics third-up.
Race 7:
GOLD SYMPHONY close-up in the Stradbroke before winning the Civic two runs back. Never saw daylight here last start. The one to beat with even luck in running. CENTRE PIVOT finished on the placegetters heels at Rosehill last start. Has a very good third-up record and twice a winner this track and distance. Ready to win. LIAPARI racing well with two wins and a placing from last three. Is a winner at the track and distance and a winning chance again. CLASSIC UNIFORM hasn’t had much chance from wide gates in two runs this time in. Expecting a sharp improvement third-up launching from the inside gate.
Race 8:
ROCK MYLADY resumes on the back of a Rosehill trial placing. No luck in a similar race here resuming last time in and goes in all the exotics fresh here. HETTY HEIGHTS wasn’t suited racing on the speed at Rosehill last start. Placing here resuming a strong pointer for this and expecting an improved run ridden quieter. EMBLEY never really clear at Warwick Farm resuming. Fitter second-up and has won two races here. Goes in everything. PICK ME UP well backed and a strong winner at Rosehill last start. Runner-up this track and distance three runs back and nothing to suggest he won’t be in the finish again.
Race 9:
PHILOSOPHY has won three from six including a Canterbury win resuming two runs back. Never saw clear running at Warwick Farm last start. Set to bounce back here. AWOKE nice return to racing to get the money at Canterbury last start. Suited stepping up in distance and generally holds her form second-up. LITTLE MISS BROWN Wyong winner two runs back and worked home nicely when runner-up at Warwick Farm last start. Suited by the expected solid tempo here and worth including in the wider exotics. WAHNG WAH won successive races at Newcastle and Warwick Farm earlier in the preparation. Well beaten over shorter journeys last two but a likely improver up in distance here.
