4:15am - GUY WALTER PROVEN THOROUGHBREDS STAKES | 1400m | Group 2 | i

The mares over 1400m and usually these races produce close finishes, but SWEET DEAL changed that trend when dominating first-up over 1200m. She's a big strong mare that's probably better suited to the drier track here, an ominous thought for her competitors. Classy gallopers REELEM IN RUBY, NOIRE and POHUTUKAWA (doesn't want too firm) can bounce off their first-up runs and threaten here second-up. CON TE PARTIRO the other winning chance, a mare that really knuckles down in the finish and enjoys an honest tempo. [updated 8:49am]
