5:30am - AQUIS APOLLO STAKES | 1400m | Group 2 | i

The feature G2 Apollo Stakes over 1400m. DREAMFORCE the likely leader with HUSH WRITER and ANGEL OF TRUTH around the mark. Tempo will be important here, if the track isn't too wet and Nash gets control of a STEADY tempo on DREAMFORCE, he has the acceleration off the turn to put this race away. The first-up win last prep over 1400m very good. HAPPY CLAPPER the big threat trailing near the pace coming off two nice trials, he will be strong through the line as always and handles SOFT just fine. ALIZEE the other winning chance (doesn't want too wet). VERRY ELLEEGANT and DANZDANZDANCE will be chasing hard at the end, they both may have wanted a HEAVY track to win. [updated 9:15am]
