Race 4:
NEW TIPPERARY won three on the trot last preparation. Tough effort going down narrowly in the Ajax last start. Peaks third-up and ready to win. SPECTROSCOPE import who was an impressive Rosehill winner at first Australian start. His European form suggests he will only get better stepping up in distance and a winning chance again. MARENOSTRO resumes and has trialled nicely on two occasions leading into this. Has a solid first-up record and relishes wet tracks. Goes in all the exotics. RUDY resumes from a let-up when placed at Doomben last start. Loves the wet tracks and right in play with likely conditions to suit.
Race 5:
RISING RED two wins five seconds from last seven and runner-up in the NZ Derby last start behind Gingernuts. That looks a strong form line for this. JON SNOW placed in the New Zealand Derby last start and the winner Gingernuts made that form look good last week. The trainer knows what is needed to win in Australia so has to be respected. ACATOUR well beaten in the Randwick Guineas last start but was solid in the Hobartville resuming. The trip a query but has always raced like he will be suited at a middle distance. WINE BUSH rarely far away in his races but just the one win. Should be at his peak and worth including in the wider exotics.
Race 6:
EXOSPHERIC hit the line strongly when third in the Australian Cup at Flemington last start. Caulfield Cup placegetter in the Spring and ready to win third-up here. OUR IVANHOWE chasing back to back wins after relishing the heavy conditions to win the Ranvet. Has a very good 2400m record and a winning chance again. JAMEKA worked in the run and the effort told when run down late in the Australian Cup. The Caulfield Cup winner in the Spring and should be right at her peak here. TAVAGO impressive winner of the Sky High last start. Easy winner of the Australian Derby at Randwick this trip last year. Still scope for improvement third-up and a winning chance again.
Race 7:
DAWN WALL on the up winning last three culminating in a strong finishing win in the Kembla Grange Classic last start. Still scope for improvement and a winning chance again. FOXPLAY charged late to win the Phar Lap at Rosehill last start. The step up to 2000m looks a genuine query but can’t condemn them till they have tried. LA BELLA DIOSA impressive winner of the Surround resuming two runs back then had excuses in the Coolmore. First go at the trip but races like the journey will suit. HARLOW GOLD placed at Flemington resuming before finishing on the placegetters heels in the Australian Guineas last start. The Oaks runner-up in the Spring so the step up in distance isn’t an issue.
Race 8:
ZENALICIOUS showed a return to form when a close second-in the Phar Lap last start. Should be right at her peak fourth-up and ready to win. ROCKET COMMANDER came again to win the Wenona Girl at Randwick last start. Makes her own luck on speed and nothing to suggest she won’t be in the finish again. ZANBAGH wasn’t far away in the Coolmore after chasing home DIXIE BLOSSOMS in the Guy Walter resuming. Has a very good third-up record and the likely wet track helps her cause. DIXIE BLOSSOMS struggled in the Coolmore after enduring a wide run in transit. Controlled the speed in front for an easy win in the Guy Walter two runs back and can bounce back.
Race 9:
ANCIENT HISTORY import who was placed at Kembla at first Australian start. Twice a winner in France and can only improve here with the first-up run under his belt. HANDFAST placed last two at Rosehill and Canberra. Should be right at his peak and bright place prospects again. ROARING TO WIN Well beaten in the National Sprint at Canberra last start but previous form solid enough to rate a place chance here. BE LIKE DAD Warwick Farm winner resuming. Harder here but the 5.5kg weight drop keeps him in play.
