5:00am - SMITHFIELD RSL CLUB SAN DOMENICO STAKES | 1100m | Group 3 | i

The feature race of the day, an intriguing Group 3 San Domenico Stakes for 3yos. All eyes will be on Gai Waterhouse's unbeaten colt VANCOUVER. He's a star in the making and will enjoy a likely STRONG TEMPO, with a group of speedy on-pacers engaged in the race. Those speedsters include the out-of-form Hawkes stable's HEADWATER, Waller's charger JAPONISME and the nippy KING'S TROOP, who all have a hope of hanging on for a place with the right run. Better winning chances come from HAPTIC (now Gelded) and REDZEL, the Godolphin and Snowden contenders both trialled well enough to suggest it won't be a walk in the park for the favourite.
