5:45am - T J SMITH HALL OF FAME HANDICAP | 1200m | | i

Another big field, this time over the six furlongs with tempo from NOBLE JOEY (drawn wide) making sure it's FAIR. He's a bold front-runner that did a good job on the hot speed in the Provincial Champs final and will enjoy the SOFT ground. He'll have to be right at his peak to hold off the flying BONNY O'REILLY though, who was good enough first-up and looks well placed here against the boys. She's got plenty of upside, as does MOGADOR first-up after two sharp trials and an important gear change. PAINTE, GUARD OF HONOUR and GIRL SUNDAY (prefers dry?) all around the mark too. MOGADOR Gelded, GUARD OF HONOUR Blinkers OFF FIRST TIME, Winkers FIRST TIME, DREAM LANE Blinkers AGAIN. [updated 8:35am]
