5:40am - QUINCY SELTZER VILLIERS STAKES | 1600m | Group 2 | i

Can QUACKERJACK get redemption in the G2 Villers Stakes after an unlucky run in the $1 million Gong last start. He's a tough on-pacer that should push on to get outside the lead and keep fighting hard in the finish. An extra 4kg means he's no moral though, with threats from Kris Lees' two tough girls INVINCIBLE GEM and EL DORADO DREAMING amongst others. RANIER and LIVE AND FREE had nothing between them over 1500m, with BOBBING unlucky from the back in the same race. GOLD FIELDS (in flying form) may need to handle a bit more pressure this time, GOODFELLA (value chance) the horse that wants some honest tempo on up near the pace. NOBLE BOY in the mix too after an unlucky run if he handles the mile. Interesting race this one. [updated 8:36am]
