Track Soft 5 and rail out 3m

4. Queen Tavane is an improving and honest mare who can go right on with the job after breaking through third-up at Taree, sweeping clear to win by nearly six lengths. This is naturally tougher, but on the up, and drawn to get nice cover just behind the speed. 5. Up And Comer is another improver behind a fair first-up effort in weaker country grade. 1. Casino Bear is a tough performer who rarely runs a bad one, and comes off two reasonable efforts in country cups. Up sharply in weight, although scratched from Rosehill on Wednesday to run here. 2. Mega Fight is hard fit and trained on the track; while 7. Vieste is another one deep into the current campaign, and goes in all trifecta and first four plays.

4. Sir Loyne is very progressive in this company, and banging on the door at his third start after closing off okay behind two smart winners. Will find this more to his liking staying over the mile, and drawn to get a lovely run tucked in behind the speed. 5. Super Scotch is another emerging metro visitor who ran home late into a place on debut at Kembla. 7. Avenue Montaigne was $3.30 into $3.00 when leading for a fair way fresh first-up on the Kensington track. Keep safe 8. Made In Italy who has hit the line hard from well back in two runs to start his career, although the inside draw here does him no favours. Gap to the rest.

4. Confidentiality was rock solid in the market when leading and fighting on for a long way on debut at Hawkesbury. Was swamped by a well backed winner that day who ran a slick time in what should prove a strong form maiden. Fitter now, and drawn to get the right run on speed. Big watch on 3. Artgirl, a filly by Flying Artie on debut with gear additions for the Chris Waller stable behind two spaced trials, the latest winning comfortably. 8. Sword Of Legacy is a progressive filly and having her first outing for the Waller yard after some promising efforts in Victoria as a two-year-old, including missing by a whisker in Group 3 company over the autumn. Given an easy time in a recent trial and key gear changes have been made. 7. Precious Girl stuck on okay behind a smart winner first-up at Newcastle 12 days ago.

3. Koios is a sparingly-raced five-year-old trained on the course, and well placed to pounce second-up from the inside draw. Showed enough early in his first prep, and looks a stronger galloper this time in. 2. Sociable is ready to break through after closing off well in two runs at Kembla coming off a long break. 5. Vin Santo is a big market watch returning off a six week freshen-up and quiet open class trial. 4. Ride The River can improve over further after two flat efforts this prep.

2. Rose Of Dubai is a talented mare who hasn’t started since a dominant and front-running debut win at Newcastle in April. Given two easy trials over 1000m, and settling back in the field with cover, she can run this out strong. 6. Triple Play made a big statement on debut at Hawkesbury, sweeping home to beat a handy field convincingly after being backed from $3.50 into $2.50. Naturally right up to this next class, and has reportedly done well since, although wouldn’t be diving into too short a price from a trickier draw. 8. My Bella Vista was dominant from midfield on debut at Goulburn, and draws to get an economical run, although shapes under the odds in a much smarter provincial field. 1. Mother Goose resumes from the inside draw behind two progressive trials. 7. Miss Fleetwood is each-way value well into her prep, and slipping back from a tough on speed effort at BM 64 fillies and mares level. 5. Spiritualistic is an improving mare who can figure in the minor money third-up.

2. Formal is a progressive four-year-old primed to strike fresh off two improving trials. Made good progress through autumn, capping the prep with back-to-back BM 64 wins on heavy ground, and gets back in at the weights here after the jockey’s 3kg claim. 3. Hydrometer is locally-trained, and with more than enough ability first-up behind two deliberate and spaced trials. 1. Hellish is an ex-Qld five-year-old drawn the fence, and having his first outing for the new Kembla stable behind a trial win and with blinkers back on. 5. Stratafy fourth-up from a sound barrier is the best of the rest ahead of 6. Oceans One who finished right behind the former when resuming.

6. Kissavos is a city three-year-old yet to fill a place from four starts, but still emerges as the one to beat four weeks between runs in a moderate maiden. Failed to find the line from on-speed after a poor start at Newcastle when coming off a break, but has trialled well since, and this is weaker. 9. Pombia hits peak fitness fourth-up and coming back a shade in distance. Big watch on 11. Zou Royal, a filly by Zousain on debut for the Jarrod Austin yard at Warwick Farm behind two progressive trials. 1. Dear My Friend is a natural improver from a softer draw after a solid debut in the country.

1. Sarrismo is a talented metro four-year-old who can bounce back to winning ways third-up, and four weeks between runs. Bolted in from the front in a CL1 at Hawkesbury when resuming before doing his best work late in deeper company at Rosehill as a short-priced favourite. 6. Inception is the clear threat coming off a tough all-the-way CL1 win at Scone fourth-up. 10. Green Spaces is a lightly raced improver second-up over more ground. 3. Wal’s Angels looked home for all money at Bathurst third-up as a well backed favourite before being edged out late. Gets good weight relief rising to provincial level, but has to overcome a wide and tough gate. 5. Super Sugoi draws inside, and can add value into trifecta and first fours.
