R2 n6 THINKHARDANDFAST Forward inside behind lead group. 5™H up on 7 day back up rises 2.5kg out to 2020m (220m). Last start BM70 Sun Coast drew outside crossed quickly to sit 2nd on a slow tempo and she controlled race from there winning easily late by 1.5L. Figures from race were only plain but she won with plenty more to give. Map suits today and logical progression for her out to 2020m on the quick back up for the very much in form stable. She is race fit now this prep and this race lacks quality. Keen she wins again and wet track is no issue.
R10 n19 BOSSED UP Back last inside on map. 5TH up off 21 days drops 3.5kg out to 1110m (110m). Last start BM78 E Farm drew inside sat back 4*h 2L off leader on a slow tempo and had a clear run home from there when 2nd to Lyles beaten 2.3L when heavily backed late. Race rated strongly off a huge L600m figure. His was best of the meeting so couldn’t have done anymore off that tempo. Has strong closing speed and 1100m today late off this tempo will suit. Wet track looks ok for him and inside draws are always an advantage at this start even for back markers.

R8 n10 YORKSHIRE Great map 3’d inside on leaders back. 2ND up off 14 days and well suited out to 1500m (200m). Last start resumed off longer 273-day spell was a complete forgive run beaten 11L had post-race issues with cardiac arrhythmia. Proven this track and distance and 2nd up off an ideal map he can bounce back quickly, good horse and better than these.
R9 n14 SHANGRI LA SPRING Map suits forward inside on leaders back or leads. 4™H up off 28 days and easily won 1200m trial Randwick Nov 21. Very forgiving of last start run beaten 7.6L by Autumn Glow in an extremely high rating Golden Eagle. He was wide the trip there on a brutal tempo. Off 28 days today and a great trial out to his preferred 2000m trip, great map and 53kg makes him a clear top pick today.

R3 n6 AWESOME BOY Leads and controls on map on a 7 day back up. Perfect set up back in class today. Last start was beaten narrowly by a decent horse after his rider hesitated early on him. With a positive on speed ride early, he can hold out Fast Harry late and confident he can win.
R5 n8 HOT AND HIGH Harder opposition today at 3’d race start but she is a genuine talent. Last start she sat 5th early on a fast tempo 5L off leader. She then exploded in the straight winning by 3L when smashed late in betting. Race rated dominantly and her L600m figure off that tempo was high quality. Well-bred 3yo Filly with elite closing speed.
R9 n1 OVERPASS Gets total control on speed off a slow tempo here and will be winning. Last start resumed Group 1 Randwick Everest drew outside crossed early to sit 2nd on an even tempo and had winner on his back there. He dug in deep late but tired L100m when 4th to Ka Ying Rising beaten 1.5L and the race rated best of meeting. Fitter and better today back to favourite circuit -1.5L to Ka Ying Rising has dead set panels on these.
