5:20am - THE $1M PAGES EVENT HIRE HUNTER | 1300m | | i

The feature of the day brings together a capacity field of high class sprinters. Early speed from MANICURE, LE ROMAIN and perhaps INVINCIBLE GEM from out wide will make sure it's a FAIR tempo, with JONKER and BON AMIS kicking up on the inside. GRAFF is the class runner here coming off a nice trial win, but his form is just fair the last couple of starts and he's a big boy that will need to keep his rhythm in the big field. Threats come from FIESTA (too wide on turn last start), BRAVE SONG, JONKER and LE ROMAIN. MANICURE was flying in Melbourne and should be hard to beat too. RENEWAL right in this on best Sydney ratings, but he'll need to hit the line harder than his last couple. SANDBAR not hopeless if he gets a run, a horse that wasn't far off GRAFF as a 3YO in the G1 Golden Rose. [updated 9:05am]
