Race 1

Fusion Reactor (3) Goes best in front and better suited here. Big chance in this if he can lead
Bryson Dechambeau (8) Battled last start but could bounce back with a good trip. Place chance
Tabasco (5) Good third last start but hard to catch on his best day. Need the right run but can win

Race 2

Cyclone Zion W (11) Big reputation and freshened here. Will go close here if he trots all the way
Waterloo Station (10) Second row draw but has the motor to threaten here. Chance at longer odds
Habibti Pat (2) Respect the stable and top driver booked. Trials ok and drawn to give some cheek

Race 3

The Bettor Deal (1) Drawn to get a handy run near the front. Master driver hops on so include here
Sacetas (9) Follows the favourite through. No form but could surprise from the draw. One for odds
Five Crowns (4) Might go forward early and stable respect. Hard to run down if he gets his own way

Race 4

Buffy Northstains (8) Good run last start after working midrace. Any luck and she goes close
Ruakaka (9) Getting better with racing. Wide draw but will be running on late here. Needed
The Fox (7) Looks better suited over the sprint. Could fly the gate and stick on ok at longer odds

Teddy The Terror (2) In good form for this. Improver with racing and has winning claims here
Quicker Than Quick (3) Good form and racing well. Can go close to placing here from the draw

Race 6

Adored Dreamer (3) Easy win last start after doing all the work. Very hard to beat. Top selection
Dancing Desire (5) Gate speed and at her best would go close here. One for longer odds in this

Fernetti (6) Good win last start and will be improved. Could head forward early. Winning claims
Mr Kaplan (5) Freshened and has a heap of ability. Top driver booked and hard to beat if fully fit

Paige (6) Running on last start in a similar field. Looks a chance if she races closer to the speed
One Over Da Line (1) Decent reputation and freshened for this. Win chance with a good run
Simone Lindenny (10) Tricky draw but does have good speed. Chance if the pace is on all the way

Race 9

Rosie Richter (9) Better run last start and top three chance in what is a weaker field. Include here
Opo (4) Out of form but weaker field here. Good draw and can run top three again with luck
U R The One (5) Not far away the last couple of starts. Should race near the pace and has claims

Race 10

Major Performer (3) Has been unlucky this time in. Good place chance in this from the draw
