(3) EMERALD FORGE looks well placed and could win on debut.

(1) CRYSTAL GROVE should be prominent. Watch her.

(6) OPERA FAN and (11) VEGAS GIRL showed potential on debut and should run better second-up.

 

Race 3 (1,160m)

Race 3 (1,160m)

(1) KALEESH CYBORG is bred for more ground but has sprinted well and could turn in a better run.

(2) MIZZEN SWORD is holding form.

(6) CRONUS and (7) FUTURENAIRE have both shown potential and need to be taken seriously.

 

Race 4 (1,160m)

Race 4 (1,160m)

(1) DUPONT EMERALD has drawn towards the inside but should run another good race.

(3) TIPPERARY has shown she can win.

 

Race 5 (1,600m)

(6) PAGE BOY is lightly raced. He is well bred and has a say in this line-up.

(1) MYSTIC VISION has been staying on over shorter. He could relish the step-up in distance.

Race 6 (1,000m)

(2) ONE FELL SWOOP was ousted late last time when her rider lost the irons, which was unlucky.

(1) TROPPO VELOCE could be prominent.

(6) JUST THE TWO OF US won easily last time but did finish behind (4) NIGHT VIGIL the last time they met. Both are useful and should be right there carrying light weights.

 

Race 7 (1,100m)

(1) CHOCOLATE SOLDIER is in top form and should run another big race in the Grade 3 National Currency Sprint.

(3) TRUTH did well in a sprint early and must not be taken lightly.

(8) RONDEBOSCH is talented. He appears handily weighted.

 

Race 8 (1,600m)

Race 8 (1,600m)

(3) MASTER CHRISTMAS finished ahead of (1) STORM BRASCO in a listed race last time and the form line has worked out well.

Race 9 (2,400m)

(6) LITTLEMARYSUNSHINE impressed over the 2,400m last time. She is weighted to follow up.

(5) VESUVIO would not mind being up in distance as he is versatile.

(4) HAWKBILL is capable of a good finish and is better over the extra distance.
