R6 n15 THE BLADE Forward early to be behind the lead group with cover. Resumes off 175-day spell and brilliantly won recent 900m trial Rosehill July 29. Obviously the X Factor here-last prep resuming BM72 Rosehill was beaten 4.6L by Private Harry which is clearly a strong form reference. Gelded this prep and resuming at 1200m suits -he has powerful closing speed and trial as a gelding was outstanding. Very well placed in Class 3 class race today.
R8 n2 FLEETWOOD MF on map but capable of being closer to speed this tempo. 5th up off 42 days rises 5kg back to 1110m (-90m). won recent strong class trial Doomben July 29 having first outing for Gollan stable (ex-Godolphin). He was ridden positively there by B Thompson and looked great late but it was on his preferred S6 surface. Has a big weight here but gets the inform Ben Thompson. Trial was great, map suits and should be winning.

R8 n1 PRIVATE EYE Positive early on map to be behind leader. Resumes off short 63 day spell and two trials. Won most recent Warwick Farm 1000m Aug 8th. High class horse and clearly best credentialled runner in this race with a residual fitness edge on his rivals off a shorter 63 day spell. His last start effort resuming when 3rd to War Machine in the Group 1 Stradbroke conceding him 7kg in weight and race fitness is the benchmark for here today. Keen he wins and Nash knows him so well – S7 track no issue for him.

R5 n5 PALLATON T Berry (1) 54.5kg BM68 $2.30 Maps 3rd inside on leaders back. Resumes off 161 day spell and two trials. Won most recent 1044m Randwick August 8. Both trials very good with last one against older horses outstanding late with T Berry riding. Looks really forward in condition for his return and gets map favours for T Berry, keen he wins this race.
R7 n7 WAR ETERNAL Maps 3P back outside. 3a up off 14 days drops 4kg and well suited out to 1400m (+100m). Last start BM94 Rosehill H10 track sat 4th early 2L off leader on a slow tempo (winner led) and closed off well late for 2nd beaten 0.7L by The Novelist. Race rated well and he had gth fastest L200m of meeting which was a great effort at that time of the meeting on an awful track. J Collett gets back on with 54kg at his best distance and now race fit against these rivals – he is very well suited.
R9 n7 POLYGLOT Maps 4P back outside. Resumes off 175 day spell and two trials. Won most recent Rosehill 1030m July 29. Sat 3rd inside in trial locked away until late then exploded through on fence to win impressively. Loves the wet tracks and has excellent fresh form. J Mac sticks and map suits ideally late this tempo.
R10 n12 PERFUMIST Positive early on map to be on speed. Resumes off 161 day spell and two trials. Won most recent Rosehill 1000m July 29 -it was a Group class trial so most of the runners sat back off her early and let her lead by a big margin under no riding. She let rip from there in straight and won by 11L and was never really under any pressure. Resumes here in BM94 class, which won’t be easy for her but loves the wet, races on speed and simply could not have trialled any better.

R2 n1 FOUR ACE Is an ex Victorian horse resuming for the Geran stable. He brings solid form up here and his recent trials have been impressive. Maps for the right run behind the speed and will take a power of holding out

R2 n3 SENSESSIONAL Resumed off 132 days Pinjarra 1400m H8 track- drew inside sat MF inside 4L off leader on a fast tempo. Weaved through late to win well by 1.4L when well backed. Had right run there but race rated best of meeting and he closed off strongly late. 2nd up stats are excellent (3/4) and loves 1600m on soft. Keen it wins again.
R3 n3 MADHI GIRL On the 7 day back up stays at 1000m drops 1kg up to Bm72 class. Last start sat back 3L off leader on a very fast tempo in a race that suited run on horses. Exploded late along inside there to win by 1.2L. Race rated ok and she had a strong L600m figure there off that tempo but did have all the favours on the map. Look for a rinse and repeat today.
R4 n8 SNOW GOD 3rd up here off 21 days and both runs back have been good. Last start when 2nd up out to 1200m (on a 7 day back up-not ideal) worked hard outside leader on a very fast tempo and was only run down late by Yorga Priode who is a very smart filly. That was a high rating 3YO race and the margins back behind them were very good. Gets 21 days today off that back to 1000m and a great map behind the leader on a hot speed, keen he can win this race.
