BEST BETS
R8 n2 BENZOU Back MF inside from draw. 6t up off 14 days rises 7kg out to 1200m (+200m). Last start at Sunshine Coast drew very wide sat back 8th 6L off leader and was very wide there running home strongly late for 3rª beaten O.3L by Overfull. Race rated plainly but his closing figures were very strong. Has won at Eagle Farm gets a very positive riding change and draws a barrier for first time in his career. Placed twice on Soft, should run over these late and win – decent horse.
R9 n7 CASPERNOVA Positive early from awkward draw to be MF outside. 3a up off 14 days rises 1.5kg and stays at 1200m. Last start Prov Final Sun Coast when 2a up sat back 5th inside 5L off leader/winner on a very fast tempo and ran home late for 2’d beaten 1.4L by King Yoshi who led and controlled. Race rated strongly and he closed off well off that tempo. He will need a good ride early to get over behind lead group with cover but really like him back to Eagle Farm 1200m 3rd up. He is better than these horses and a soft track is a bonus for him.

R3 n2 HIGHWAY STRIP Maps back behind fast lead group inside and suited late this tempo with clear air in straight. Forward early to be on speed. Resumes off 175-day spell with two trials, ran 3rd in most recent 900m Canberra July 4 closing off strongly late. Lot better than Highway class and 1100m here off this map fresh with positive gear changes is perfect. J Parr has first ride.
R5 n5 SPYWIRE Positive early on map 3 pairs back outside and suited there late. 2′ up off 21 days drops 2.5kg out to 1200m (+100m). Resumed GELDED off 154-day spell 3YO BM72 Rosehill sat 4th inside 3L off leader on an even tempo and was then held up in restricted room until the 100m and charged late for 2rd beaten 0.4L by Kings Secret (won well since). Race rated best of meeting and his L200m figure there was excellent off that tempo. Sets up well today out to 1200m of this map.
R9 n1 ROBUSTO Forward early behind leaders and very well placed there. 3rd up off 14 days and well suited out to 1500m (+100m). Last start Listed Rosehill S7 track sat back 6th inside 5L off leader/winner on an even tempo and was then held up most of straight and only got clear late running 21d to Estadio Mestalla. Race rated ok and he closed off strongly L200m. Could argue that he should have won that race with clear run home. Maps great here and like him back onto a dryer track, looks the winner.
R10 n6 KING OF ROSEAU Back off MF on map. 6th up off 35 days and ran 2rd recent 1050m trial Randwick July 11-he was strong late in that trial. Last start BM78 Rosehill S5 track finally found a race with a fast early tempo-sat back 9L off leader with winkers on again and charged home late to win (was held up in straight) impressively by 1.4L. Race rated strongly and his closing figures were outstanding off that tempo. Not a regular winner (2/16) but has had genuine excuses in some of his losses. Gelded now and will need clear air in the straight but has enormous closing speed and sets up very well today.

R3 n4 EM SIXTY MF and inside on map. 6th up off 20 days drops 2.5kg out to 1700m (+100m). Last start BM64 Ballarat S7 track sat in 1/1 2L off leader on a very slow tempo and put them to the sword late winning by 2.8L when heavily backed late. He had a completely dominant meeting best L400m figure from there- he looked super impressive. He did the exact same winning maiden at Swan Hill start prior. Winkers went on last two runs out to 1600m on S7 tracks and looks ready to come to City class today on the big track. Really promising young stayer.
R7 n14 MUKTAMIL Positive early to be behind lead group. Deeper into prep off 28 days and looks suited out to 2800m (+260m). Last start Open Flemington sat back off MF early 8L off leader on a fast tempo and charged late to almost win running 2d beaten 0.5L by Bold Soul. Race rated highly and his L200m figure thee off that tempo was high class. Off 28 days is slight concern but so well suited out to 2800m and gets Craig Williams to ride.
R8 n7 SAYEDATY SADATY Forward early to be in lead group and suited there. 4th up off 21 days rises 4.5kg and stays at 2000m. Last start Open Caulfield S6 track drew inside sat 2d early on a fast tempo and he never ever looked like losing there, winning softly on the line by 1.8L. Race rated highly and the margins were good behind him- he spread that field right out late. Very positive riding change today and rolls forward on speed again and should love Flemington.

R4 n2 DUN WITH THE BLUES 4th up out to 2231m (+631m). Gets Pike and out to preferred distance in a weak class BM66 race on a suitable wet track. She maps to sit behind a slow lead speed and just looks better than these horses. Keen she wins off this set up.

R3 n2 KING OF THE JUNGLE Has improved nicely at each start this prep including last start when a brave 2nd to the promising Paleface Ringo who won well again at Ipswich next start. Was a dominant winner over this course and distance last campaign, maps on speed in a thin race and looks too good for
