R2) Xaardavid is backable at 3.3 and the claim helps. Bizet(probable leader) a danger.

R3) Mekong Miss to lead from King Kool Kat. MM has been well backed but 1.9 looking too skinny now. Spirited One freshened up and in weakest field its been in for a while would win this at best. Brava Fortune back to shorter distance and drawn well is worth throwing in multiples.

R4) Glen Erin Lad at 5.25 is ok and should be thereabouts, so should Follow the Road. The favorite Almighty Runner might not lead like last time but is very promising so can't knock it.

R5) Lay Stratazoa at 6.5, can't have it. The hot favorite Ma Ma Machine was outstanding last week, and the only niggling concern is all wins have been over 1000m.

R6) An ordinary stayers race, AirForce at 4.2 could be the one. Probably won't lead this time(Esroh should) and will try to replicate its win over the c/d 2 starts ago.

R7) It seems Golden Heart will race closer than last time(settled last and whooshed home) so from barrier 8 will need just a dash of luck to get cover. Should win. Delta Bay for multiples.
