Race 9 4:50pm 1100m (3yo handicap)
4. KNOWABLE from 7, 2, 11
Race 6:
RUETTIGER should be right at his top now and he gets in well with the claim. Drawn to get to what’s usually the best part of the track, he gets his chance. DIVINE MR ARTIE is fitter for a good fresh run. If he finds his best he’ll take a lot of stopping. MIGHTY LIKE has claims at odds if he can get to the right part of the track. ROUGH JUSTICE goes in any exotics as he never runs a bad race.
Race 7:
KILIMANJARO probably should’ve won when resuming off nearly a two-year spell. If he can stay in touch from the good gate he will prove hard to hold out. KILLARNEY KID is crying out for this trip. Any luck from the wider gate will have him in the finish. EXTRA ZERO flashes home again and PACODALI gets a perfect run once again so can go back to back.
Race 8:
Deep betting race with not a lot between a few of these. WHYOUASK looks to have returned in outstanding form and she’ll only keep improving out to this trip. If she can be in touch she’ll be hard to hold out. PRINCESS OF QUEENS wins in one more stride first-up. Fitter again, she’ll go close from the good gate. FACTS could be the knockout at odds if she can get into the three wide line. SPECIAL DIVA has claims at a bit of odds. MOONLITES CHOICE, INVICTUM DOMINA and SWAMPLAND can all win without surprising.
Race 9:
HIGHLAND BEAT was no fluke winning last start as he’d had little luck all prep. Ridden off pace with the slight drop in trip, he will charge home. KNOWABLE raced through to top grade last prep. He did win fresh so will run a big race here. HAY BALE is suited back in trip. He’ll go forward and be there a long way. INVINCIBLE AL can bounce back with the drop in trip and there is others that can win without surprising.

3. INVINCIBLE KNIGHT from 16, 11, 15
Race 6:
LOOPHOLE two duck-eggs next to his name but a distinct spike in his ratings third-up. Shouldn’t be under-estimated at the same stage of his preparation. LIAPARI racing well winning two of last three. Hasn’t won beyond 1600m but still one of the key players. SO WILLIE consistent four-year-old coming off a Warwick Farm second last start. The 1800m at the outer edge of his distance range but goes in everything on the basis of consistency. MARENOSTRO placed at Rosehill resuming four runs back but has struggled in three subsequent outings. Recent trial placing an indication that he is ready to improve and chances enhanced if any rain about.
Race 7:
HIGHLY GEARED run down late when third at Rosehill last start. Nothing on his back and finds the front comfortably. Will take plenty of running down. THAT’S A GOOD IDEA resumes on the back of a Randwick trial win. Runner-up at Hawkesbury resuming last time in and looks ready to go fresh here. MAGIC ALIBI arrived on the line to win over 1200m at Rosehill last start. Back in distance but in on the minimum and will be hitting the line hard. RELDAS runner-up in successive races at Moonee Valley and Morphettville before covering plenty of ground in the run at the Valley last start. Goes in the exotics with a soft run from the gate.
Race 8:
YOUR WAY won four from five last preparation and a total forget run at Warwick Farm resuming. Unbeaten in two runs this track and distance and expected to bounce back. BOLERO KING Gosford winner resuming two runs back and wore down late at Canterbury last start. Peaks third up and will be right on speed in a race where the leaders are likely to get an easy time. KINGS OF LEON putting together a good record with three wins three placings from six starts and chasing back to back wins after a Wyong victory last start. The extra 100m shouldn’t be an issue and a winning chance again. TORPENHOW chasing back to back wins after arriving on the line to win at Canterbury last start. Similar weight here and a winning chance again.
Race 9:
STEYNE showing plenty of promise and chasing five straight wins including victories at Newcastle and Canterbury both runs this time in. Toughest test to date but in on the minimum and still on the up. BRAZEN never saw daylight at Warwick Farm resuming. Has won two from three second-up and no surprise to see him right in the finish here. IMANUI charged home late to just miss at Warwick Farm resuming. Finished a close third at Randwick second-up last preparation. Just needs even luck from the gate to be right in the finish. PELETHRONIUS unbeaten in three runs this preparation including a Randwick 1400m win last start. 28-days between runs but has won a trial in the interim and a winning chance again.
