RACE 1 - SNUGGLE BANG YAHOO (6) doesn't win out of turn but has hit the top-four in eight of his past nine starts and strikes a very winnable contest here. Could be his chance to break through. LORD KENNY (5) placed over this track and trip two back and will be rock-hard fit for this. Looms as the main danger. KLONDIKE STRIKE (2) is having his first run for the new stable but gets 3kg weight relief with the claim and any market confidence should be noted. MOGGIE (3) has placed one from one over this six furlong journey and may earn some minor money. Former Victorian BENEVENTO (4) next best from the inside alley.


RACE 2 - THECHAMP (3) loves it here around his home circuit with three victories from just four outings and winning rider McCann reunites. Again gets the benefit of her 2kg claim and should be right there when the whips are cracking. THATFEELSBETTER (2) has a handy record over this distance range with two wins and five placings from 14 starts. Is another to get some weight off and can play a role in the outcome. ONCHAO (5) only narrowly went down at the latest effort and will be at peak fitness for this. In the mix on best form. MOPAR (1) is a three-time winner over this course and distance and will be high on confidence following that last-start victory. Has to be included. FIRE UP BRUCE (4) best of the rest.


RACE 3 - There's a couple of well-related gallopers amongst this lot. FROZEN PRINCE (8) (half to G2 winner Paradee) loves it here around this circuit with three wins and a placing from just five spins and has won three from five when Bayliss is in the saddle. Should be playing a major role in the outcome. METAL BAR (1) (half to G1 winner Mighty Boss and G2 winner Coastwatch) is four from four over this track and trip and is racing with a lot of confidence of late. Rates a serious threat. TEXAS STORM (6) is having his first run for the new stable and any market support must be noted. LE FORCE (2) gets 3kg off with the claim and can make his presence felt. COUNT OF CARFORD (4) next in line from the inside alley.


RACE 4 - DEFINITELY FAMOUS (1) has made a positive start to the career with two wins and three placings from just five starts including a victory over this track and trip three back. Doesn't know how to run a bad race and looks the galloper in the field with the most upside. Rates the testing material against this lot. WHITE RIBBON (10) has hit the top-five in all five runs this preparation and gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claim. Cannot be underestimated. RUSTY ROSE (3) was a touch disappointing last time out but go on the solid win over this course and distance two back. Can bounce back. LET'S GO THEN (7) has placed around this circuit and looks one for the multiples. LOUIE THE LEGEND (8) best of the rest in a race with only a handful of chances.


RACE 5 - EXCITE CHOO (1) has been thereabouts in recent outings hitting the top-four in four of his past five starts and this is not an overly strong contest. Has placed three from five over this distance range and gets some weight off with the claim. Looks the one they all have to run down. DISPUTE (5) saves his best form for this trip with a win and six placings from ten attempts and looks ideally placed here. Cannot be discounted. ALL THAT BLING (8) has placed over this track and trip and is better than recent efforts suggest. Worth another chance. MISHANI EAGLE (10) broke the maiden status here last time and is sure to have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Can go right on with the job now. FAR REACHING (6) rounds out the selections.


RACE 6 - THE BROTHERHOOD (8) absolutely smashed them over this course and distance last time out and will be near his peak now fourth run from the spell. Is yet to miss a drum in ten starts around this circuit and has to be included again. HAN DYNASTY (1) is a very consistent conveyance who doesn't know how to run a bad race. Gets 3kg off with the claim and can play a big role in the finish. EYEWITNESS (6) strips fitter third-up from the spell and is another to get some weight relief. Top-three candidate on best form. THERESABEARINTHERE (4) has a win and three placings from five attempts at the track and trip and looks one for the exotics players. TRINITY MISSILE (9) next best.


RACE 7 - JUST STOP IT (11) has hit a purple patch of form of late with two wins and a second from his past three starts with all coming over this sprint journey. Well placed here and looks very hard to toss. LE WEASEL (2) is an honest commodity who has hit the top-five in eight of his past nine runs. Gets 3kg off and has to be entertained. Former NSW galloper WELLOUTOFREACH (3) is having his first run for the new stable but showed enough down south to warrant consideration in a race like this. Keep safe. RUBY SPARKLES (12) was a touch flat at the latest effort but go on the strong Mackay victory two back. Draws low with the claim and shapes as a top-three hope on best form. RIVER DANZKA (8) next in line.
