7:10am - NEXON HANDICAP | 1500m | | i

Finishing off with a tricky BM race. Early speed from SPECIAL MISSILE and not too much else. RE EDIT, SWEET DEAL, MURAAQEB and DARK EYES capable of pushing forward and HALLELUJAH BOY won't be far away from the inside. SWEET DEAL is racing very well, but she has some factors against today, the wide barrier and step up to 1500m will test out her stamina. DEALMAKER ran on OK last start and must be considered despite the wide barrier. Solid each-way chances to SPECIAL MISSILE and ARTICUS in their right grade, but perhaps the best winning hopes are the progressive 4YOs returning from the Queensland winter. SCARLET DREAM and RE EDIT (low weight!) will both like a drying track and should find the line late. DARK EYES the knock-out if he's fit first-up down on a low weight. [updated 8:39am]
