Race 7:
SPIETH has so much upside with each start and the step up to this trip is ideal. If he has even luck from the inside gate he’s the one to beat. TERRAVISTA flew late in the Lightning. No worries at the longer trip, he’ll be hard to hold out. ILLUSTRIOUS LAD loves this track and the rise in trip suits. He’ll run well. Many more chances in a deep race with a watch on REDKIRK WARRIOR off a nice jump out.
Race 8:
HUMIDOR has been building and charging home each run. Fit now and out to his right trip, he’ll be hard to hold out. JAMEKA is going to need a perfect ride from the wide gate but if she has any luck she’s a huge danger. THE UNITED STATES has good upside on his fresh run. From the good gate, he goes in everything. ECUADOR could be the value. He’s in flying form in strong races. EXOSPHERIC and REAL LOVE next best.

La Bella Diosa
Race 7:
OMEI SWORD terrific return when a closing second in the Surround resuming. Runner-up in the Golden Rose second-up last preparation and the one to beat here with the first-up run under her belt. GLOBAL GLAMOUR impressive winner of the Light Fingers two runs back and battled on well when placed in the Surround last start. Has the early speed to overcome the gate and a genuine winning chance. ZANBAGH runner-up in the Guy Walter albeit over six-lengths from the winner in the Guy Walter. Fitter here and the likely wet track brings her right into play. LA BELLA DIOSA 1000 Guineas winner in New Zealand last preparation and an impressive winner of the Surround at first Australian start. The step up to the mile can only help her cause and a winning chance again.
