Race 1<\/b><\/p>\n

3. Sir Herridah<\/b> made a solid debut chasing the speed all the way at Scone, and back 100m here, he can break through at his second start. 9. Mic Drop<\/b> is a big market watch first-up for more than 17 months despite drawing wide. Was beaten just over two lengths on debut in group 2 company as a two-year-old before disappointing against midweek opposition. Won the second of two lead-up trials, suggesting she\u2019s well over the setbacks and has ability in this company. 7. Flying Molly<\/b> is over the odds third-up after two runs back at Scone. 14. Shenandoah River <\/b>draws off the track, but can run into the minor money resuming for only her second start behind a forward trial; while 11. Varazze<\/b> is the best of the rest fourth-up.

Race 2<\/b><\/p>\n

4. Xerxes<\/b> is ready to win deep into the prep over a touch further in a race with many chances. Missed by a whisker in heavy ground at Tamworth before coming off a freshen and wilting when ridden too close at Scone. Back to near his best, hitting the line hard behind a smart winner at Tamworth 18 days ago, and he will relish being ridden a little quieter and getting back on a bigger track with a much longer run home. 12. Pinot Nero<\/b> is a home track improver and the immediate threat third-up over more ground. 14. Big Mix<\/b> is another lightly raced improver after a fair debut effort at Tamworth. 9. Luna<\/b> Cruiser<\/b> at big odds deep into the campaign, and 11. Encampment<\/b> improving into his second start; can both figure in the minor money.

Race 3<\/b><\/p>\n

5. Sweet Bubbles<\/b> is a progressive provincial mare well-placed to grab a third career win at only her 10th start. Hit the line impressively two runs back before again doing her best work late in a stronger BM 66 at Scone when backed from $8 into $6.50. Drops in class with a far superior jockey taking over, and on a circuit that suits over a bit further, she only needs clear air from the 400m to destroy this lot. 4. Just On Fire<\/b> dug in hard to lead all the way in a handy CL2 at Wellington, and hard fit at this stage can give another big sight on speed from a low draw. 3. Green Run<\/b> has not missed a place in and around this grade in his last four, and draws the fence. 2. Swexan<\/b> is an improver coming back in trip; while 6. Down The Kooka<\/b> is over the odds with weight relief.

Race 4<\/b><\/p>\n

7. Chamber Of Secrets <\/b>is a talented filly by Written By in the Lyle Chandler stable at Scone on debut behind two winning trials at home. Fitted to make a big statement, and unlike one of her main market rivals who went the other way, was scratched from Bathurst on Sunday to be saved for this. 13. Varuna<\/b> has to overcome a wide draw, but was good late when hitting the line on debut at Scone. 2. Speed Of Gold<\/b> is well over the mark third-up from a handy training draw. 4. Anarchist<\/b> resumes off a six-week break and steady trial with blinkers going on. Gap to the rest.
