RACE 1

1 CHARMING CHEETAH 3 TRAJANUS 4 VICTORY IN ORLEANS 2 ZALATORIS

Preview: CHARMING CHEETAH has some class and looks the one to beat here. TRAJANUS is speedy and should make a cold bid. VICTORY IN ORLEANS has run a couple of good races and can be in the shake up. ZALATORIS is a Gr 2 winner who has overall been a touch disappointing this term and he has to bounce back from a below par run last time. (David Thiselton 1-3-4-2)

RACE 2

1 KAVADY 5 OCEAN MISTRESS 6 RUBY WHISPER 2 QUEEN LEILA

Preview: 1 KAVADY is a talented speedster whose form has been franked and he can win despite having to carry a penalty for being a wimner of one race. 5 OCEAN MISTRESS  made  a good debut and with expect improvement could go close. 6 RUBY WHISPER has run some good races against good fields and has a chance. 2 QUEEN LEILA carries a penalty for being a winner but could earn. (David Thiselton 1-5-6-2)

RACE 3

3 TURN IT UP 2 STATUS SYMBOL 4 GONE COLD 1 SPIRIT OF GABZ

Preview: 3 TURN IT UP is a half-brother to Gr 1 Gold Medallion winner Proceed and looks to be following in his footsteps. 2 GONE COLD made a fine debut and should be in the shake up. 4 STATUS SYMBOL was not far behind Turn It Up over 800m and could be a threat. 1 SPIRIT OF GABZ was just a length behind Status Symbol over 800m back in early December but disappointed last time. (David Thiselton 3-2-4-1)

RACE 4

1 UTSAAH 3 MADE TO MEASURE 5 BE MY FATE 2 NICOLSON LANDING

1 UTSAAH ran a fine race last time over this trip and is drawn in pole. 3 MADE TO MEASURE is well drawn and can go close if repeating her last start. 5 BE MY FATE made a fair debut and the form has been franked. 2 NICHOLSON LANDING is improving but has a wide draw to overcome. (David Thiselton 1-3-5-2)

RACE 5

1 GIMMETHESPOTLIGHT 5 POMPEII SHIELD 4 MILLENNIUM WARRIOR 6 SNOW MOON

1 GIMMETHESPOTLIGHT has some fine form and should go close from a plum draw with Lerena up. 5 POMPEI SHIELD has some good form and enjoys this trip but does have a tricky draw. 4 MILENNIUM WARRIOR will be in the hunt if repeating his last start. 6 SNOW MOON has shown enough to earn again in this line up, despite having a wide draw. (David Thiselton 1-5-4-6)

RACE 6

4 ONE MORE STAR 8 COPPER PLATE 1 JORDAN 7 CARTAGENA

Preview: 4 ONE MORE STAR ran a cracker over 200m last time against a fair sort and from pole position this One World half-brother to Malmoos should relish the trip. 8 COPPER PLATE won well last time and should be in the shake up again. 1 JORDAN will enjoy the course and distance and is well drawn. 7 CARTAGENA disappointed last time but is better than that and can do well if it pans out well from a middle draw. (David Thiselton 4–1-7)

RACE 7

6 SONG OF MYSELF 12 VANAKKAM 11 PERFECT MIRACLE 5 POBLANO

Preview: 6 SONG OF MYSELF has fine form in the East Cape and if repeating her last run can go close. 12 VANAKKAM looks to be talented and can bounce back from her disappointing last run. 11 PERFECT MIRACLE sneaks into the handicap with the minimum weight, like Vanakkam, and looks ready to start coming into his own. 5 POBLANO has been in fine form but would probably prefer 1000m. (David Thiselton 6-12-11-5)

RACE 8

4 BACK FROM WAR 1 TEO TORRIATTE 2 STREISAND 3 ART NOUVEAU

Preview: 4 BACK FROM WAR ran well against a good sort last time and can go close. 1 TEO TORRIATTE was not far behind Back From War last time and can never be ignored. 2 STREISAND should start coming into her own and is a contender. 3 ART NOUVEAU has the form to earn here. (David Thiselton 4-1-2-3)

RACE 9

1 WILLIAM ROBERTSON 3 BUSSTOPINHOUNSLOW 4 RODEO DRIVE 5 MINOGUE

Preview: 1 WILLIAM ROBERTSON is top class and evergreen, so can go in again even though this is a preparation outing for the Computaform Sprint. 3 BUSSTOPINHOUNSLOW is a versatile sort who should be finishing strongly as usual. 4 RODEO DRIVE has a lot of pace and has a chance with a weight advantage. 5 MINOGUE has class and speed and is only half-a-kilogram under sufferance with Rodeo Drive. (David Thiselton 1-3-4-5)
