RACE 1
The Aussie-bred NITRO
EXPRESS is drawn pole and he was only beaten by 1.6 lengths last time out
behind Curling Luxury at Happy Valley. He was beaten in his penultimate run by
Lightning Steed and the form of that run has been franked. KELMIMI WINS set the fractions last time out when outrun late by
Red Brick Fighter on this track and he may adopt similar tactics this
afternoon. SHANGAI DRAGON has placed
in his last two starts. He may not let the second selection have his own way in
front and must be considered in this opening contest.

RACE 2
MIGHTY VALOR set
the pace last time out and was only collared late when beaten a length by Angel
Of My Eyes on this track. He gets top jockey Purton in the saddle and he should
take a power of beating in this contest. REGENCY
POET is drawn wide but he was only beaten by 1.8 lengths in his last outing
and this race looks well within his reach. MONKEY
JEWELLERY has some consistent form under Moreira and should run into the
places again.

RACE 3
CIRCUIT HASSLER has
finished runner-up in his last two starts and looks fairly-handicapped in this
contest. He was only pipped by a nose in his penultimate effort on this track
and if overcoming his wide draw he should find himself in the winner’s
enclosure. LEADING FORTUNE was
courageous in his latest victory when he fought with Triple Triple in the dying
stages. He jumps from an inside barrier and it would be no surprise to see him
make it back-to-back triumphs this afternoon. MY WINNER is drawn wide but he found a form return in his last
outing and with Hamelin in the irons, he can run into the places of this
contest.

RACE 4
GENERAL’S DELIGHT
was only beaten by a half a length in a Group 3 contest last time out and has
the added advantage of shouldering bottom weight in this contest. HELENE LEADINGSTAR finished runner-up
in a Group 3 contest last time out when second best behind top sort Dances With
Dragon. A repeat of that effort should be good enough to win a contest of this
nature. FAST MOST FURIOUS found a
form return in his last outing and from pole position he has the ability to run
into places.

RACE 5
MISTER MONTE
carries a low weight in this contest and he was only beaten a length on this
track last time out by Bullish Glory. It is encouraging that Chadwick has kept
faith in the ride and he can earn his fourth career victory today. CIRCUIT NUMBER ONE was only beaten by
half a length last time out and the penny may have just dropped. GOOD DAYS hasn’t finished far off the
winner in recent outings and he can run into the places if overcoming his wide
barrier position.

RACE 6
SKY FIELD came on
from his debut effort when only beaten by half a length last time out and he
looks a progressive sort in the making. Moreira jumps in the saddle and he may
be able to coax a little bit more out of this chestnut where it matters most. HERO STAR has finished runner-up in his
last two starts and represents decent each way value for punters. He is another
who finished just behind Yee Cheong Pegasus and should put in another bold
effort this afternoon. REWARDING
TOGETHER is still fairly unexposed and he needs to be respected in this contest,
jumping from pole position.

RACE 7
SUPER RED DRAGON
was only beaten a nose last time out by Superb Daddy and he shoulders a handy
galloping weight this afternoon. This striking grey has been a bit costly to
follow but he looks well treated in this Class 4 handicap. DESTIN made a decent comeback when beaten 1.6 lengths by Chevalier
and he should strip much fitter for this contest. Chadwick jumps in the saddle
and if coming on from that effort then he will be able to pose a threat to the
top selection. SUMSTREETSUMWHERE was
only beaten by 1.3 lengths last time out and it is encouraging that Shinn has
kept faith in the ride.

RACE 8
The ultra-consistent FANTASTIC
SHOW was only beaten by two lengths last time out on this track. He goes
very well for Moreira and from his mid-field draw, he may be difficult to peg back
in the closing stages of this contest. SUPER
ELEGANCE is drawn wide but he made a fair return to the races when only
beaten 1.3 lengths by God Of Dragon. He will strip much fitter for this contest
and must be respected with French jockey Hamelin in the saddle. EVER LAUGH set the pace last time out
and may adopt similar tactics this afternoon. He gets a 2.5kgs apprentice
allowance which will definitely assist his cause and he can run into the
places.

RACE 9
MONGOLIAN KING
jumps from an inside barrier and he was absolutely charging at them last time
out when beaten just under a length by WATER
DIVINER. He is now 3kgs better off at the weights with his recent conqueror
and that should be enough to reverse that form line. AMAZING CHOCOLATE is in search of a hat-trick of wins this
afternoon. He has his third run after a rest and should be cherry-ripe for this
contest. YOUNG LEGEND has placed in
his last two outings and looks well-weighted in this contest. He has been
somewhat underestimated recently and shouldn’t be ignored.

RACE 10
The South African-bred LOBO’S
LEGEND has improved in this class having placed in his last two outings and
despite shouldering top weight in this contest he looks fairly-handicapped in
this contest. He was only beaten by 1.5 lengths in his last start and if
overcoming his wide barrier then he should be right there at the business end
of affairs. FLYING SWORD has
performed admirably in his last two starts under Teetan and looks a serious
threat to the top selection. He renews his rivalry with HEZA BEAUTY and either one of them could pick up the pieces should
the top selection fluff his lines.

RACE 11
GOOD LUCK FRIEND
has backed up his favourite status in his last two starts and he will be
looking to pull off the hat-trick of wins in the lucky last race. It is
encouraging that Magic Moreira has kept faith in the ride and the pair should
take a power of beating. WINNING BREW
is fairly unexposed and ahead of his rating. He defeated Golden Mission last
time out in impressive fashion and with a handy galloping weight, he should be
able to pose a threat to the top selection. Karis Teetan has interestingly
opted to ride SMART LEADER over PRESIDENT’S CHOICE and this Cruz
trained inmate could upset in this contest.
