4th

Trials looked good (3rd and running on for 7th). Had some very strong form last prep, including 2.6L 7th over 1300m at G1 level last prep when stuck wide. Leading chance back to G3 level for first time since February 2022.

10th

Has improved since changing stables, producing a strong win over 1400m at Listed level last start. This is harder again. Place or each-way.

12th

G3 winner two preps ago before not up to best last time in. Trials looked fine (6th and 3rd), but barrier is a risk.

T.  James Cummings
6yo bay or brown Gelding
5th

Won at BM 100 level last prep and trials looked good on-pace (2nd and 2nd). Should get across on-pace. Right in this.

6th

Form has dipped in last few starts and trials were (2nd and 2nd behind lower grade horses). Prefer to see improvement.


Gear Change: Blinkers OFF AGAIN, Tongue Tie OFF FIRST TIME

7th

Enjoyed the tempo and ran on hard late to win over 1500m at Listed level last start. Risky runner from the back.

8th

Wide when 5th to PERICLES over 1400m second-up following impressive first-up win. Rates in the mix with more luck.

T.  Michael, John & Wayne Hawkes

3rd

Veteran 8YO that has produced some tough on-pace runs in recent preps. One trial looked OK (2nd). Check the yard first-up.

14. Cuban Royale (barrier 1)

J.  Brock Ryan Brock Ryan
53.0kg
T.  Robert & Luke Price
9yo bay Gelding
2nd

No much luck second-up last week when 6th to Golden Mile in the G2 Theo Marks. Maps well near pace. Each-way at odds.

15. The Fortune Teller (barrier 13)

J.  Dylan Gibbons Dylan Gibbons
53.0kg
T.  Ciaron Maher
4yo brown Gelding
11th

First trial plain (5th) before on-pace and not far off when 4th over 1200m in recent trial. Gelded into this prep. One to watch in yard and late betting.


Gear Change: Gelded

1st

One quiet trial (9th) before nice trial win over 1030m. Improved to win at G3 last prep. In the mix from nice barrier.

17e. Political Debate (barrier 3)

9th

Better last start when 2nd to VRENELLI over 1400m. Stepping up in grade now, but drawn well. Each-way.

2 - Skyman (barrier 14)

On-pace and kicked on well for 2nd to PERICLES first-up over 1400m. Had a nice run there and drawn wide this time. Risky.

3 - No Compromise (barrier 7)

One quiet trial was OK (9th of 10). He does have some fresh form, but a firm track 1400m may be a touch too sharp.

4 - Kukeracha (barrier 4)

Scored a G3 win over 2400m in Queensland last prep. Held ground when 6th in recent trial. Has a poor record at this track.

7 - Times Square (barrier 16)

Made some ground midfield when 7th at G1 level over 1600m on SOFT before a break. Trials were fair (7th and 3rd). Drawn very wide.

12 - Democracy Manifest (barrier 17)

Swooper that ran on midfield behind some of these last start. Very wide barrier makes it tough.
