Race 1

 

3 BLOOD OF EDEN 5 CHICKASAW  1 CODEWORD 4 HUBERTUS HUNT

 

Preview:  3 BLOOD OF EDEN should be distance suited and has good form and a fair draw. 5 CHICKASAW can win if she reproduces her penultimate start over this trip but she does have a wide draw. 1 CODEWORD has pole position and has struck as a middle distance to staying type so should start improving now. 4 HUBERTUS HUNT has improved in her last two starts but has to prove she stays this trip, although it is just 200m further than last time. (David Thiselton 3-5-1-4)

 

Race 2

 

13 THE REASON 6 BRIGITTE ANNE 1 FALCONFLY

 

Preview: 13 THE REASON has also been showing promise and was also due to have run. 6 BRIGITTE ANNE should enjoy the step up in trip and this well bred sort can improve. 1 FALCONFLY improved last time over 1600m and can earn again with a repeat. (David Thiselton 13-6-1)

 

Race 3

 

5 ROYALE JACKET 3 LANCE A LOT GO 9 JOHNNY GO 10 HIGHWAYMAN HARRY

 

Preview: 5 ROYALE JACKET went close last time over 1500m with second time blinkers on and has a fair draw. 3 LANCE A LOT went close last time over 1600m after a good performance before that and is a big runner if able to overcome a tricky draw. 9 GO JOHNNY GO just failed last time over this trip and should be right there if able to overcome a tricky draw. 10 HIGHWAYMAN HARRY can be involved if bouncing back to the form of his first run and he should relish the step up in trip. (David Thiselton 5-3-9-10)

 

Race 4

 

15 WAR TALK 1 NARETOI 8 EMERALD CITY

 

Preview: 15 WAR TALK ran a cracker when stepped up to this trip last time and has a plum draw. 1 NARETOI is in good form and should earn again. 8 EMERALD CITY has been in good form over further and could earn here. (David Thiselton 15-1-8)

 

Race 5

 

5 GERBERA 7 COPPER EAGLE 6 READ ALL ABOUT IT 3 CHESTNUT BOMBER

 

Preview: 5 GERBERA has some class and can convert her fine recent form into a win. 7 COPPER EAGLE has not been disgraced in some top fields and has a chance in this easier race. 6 READ ALL ABOUT IT is a progressive sort who should start coming into his own and will be dangerous. 3 CHESTNUT BOMBER is threatening to return to his best form and has a chance. (David Thiselton 5-7-6-3)

 

Race 6

 

9 LITTLEMISSMILLION 3 ACCEPT COOKIES 4 BAKWENA 6 ACROSS THE POND

 

Preview: 9 LITTLEMISSMILLION is a tiny filly with a big stride and this represents an easier task than last time where she was not disgraced in a Gr 3 after a five month layoff. 3 ACCEPT COOKIES is in fine form and should be right there again. 4 BAKWENA is knocking on the door and is distance suited. 6 ACROSS THE POND is a capable sort and can bounce back over a suitable trip from a good draw. (David Thiselton 9-3-4-6)

 

Race 7

 

4 SPECIAL STAR 6 AMAZON QUEEN 7 PRETTY ANALIA

 

Preview: 4 SPECIAL STAR won her maiden well over 1800m and from pole position off a reasonable 82 merit rating she could follow up over this suitable 1600m trip. 6 AMAZON QUEEN has 3,20 lengths to make up on Special Star and is half-a-kilogram better off. 7 PRETTY ANALIA is capable of a strong finish so could overcome a tough draw. (David Thiselton 4-6-7)

 

Race 8

 

3 PRINCESS ILARIA 4 CAPE SAFFRON 5 PRINCESS KEIRA 7 VAMANOS

 

Preview: 3 PRINCESS ILARIA went close over this trip last time and has a plum draw again. 4 CAPE SAFFRON is in fine form and should go close if able to overcome a wide draw. 5 PRINCESS KEIRA ran a cracker last time over course and distance and now has a better draw. 7 VAMANOS looks to have plenty of ability and should go close if able to overcome a wide draw. (David Thiselton 3-4-5-7)

 

Race 9

 

2 INSPIRATION 7 PALACE REVOLT 8 PROPHET 3 NEVER NEVER LAND

 

Preview: 2 INSPIRATION won her maiden in fine style and can follow up off a reasonable 81 merit rating. 7 PALACE REVOLT ran a cracker last time with blinkers on and will go close with a repeat. 8 PROPHET is a former top class Gr 3-winning performer and he showed signs of a form return last time having dropped to a 73 merit rating and he is now a further point down to 72. 3 NEVER NEVER LAND has shown ability and might well enjoy the step down in trip so has a chance from pole position. (David Thiselton 2-7-8-3)
