R2 n7 MIDTOWN BOSS 3rd up off 21 days stays at 1100m off last start 2nd to Rey Magnerio here at $1.80 when was ridden forward (too close for him) on the fast tempo beaten 0.4L late by a swooper. That race rated a dominant best of the meeting figure and despite being run down late his closing figures were still excellent off a fast tempo. 3rd up today on a map where he will roll forward early and get nice run behind average lead speed, he will explode late off that in straight and should be winning. Good horse.
R8 n4 COLEMAN 2nd up off 21 days out to 1200m (+200m) drops 2kg off last start win in lead up race when forward on a slow tempo but raced away to win impressively. The closing figures there were excellent and his L600m for the meeting was elite off that tempo. Out to 1200m today should be no issue off that and I expect the fast tempo today to suit him even better. High class colt who maps best in this race behind strong lead speed and should be too strong late and win.

R2 n2 BELVEDERE BOYS 3rd up off 14 days out to 1400m (+200m) and Nash takes over from Adam H which is a major plus as he was given zero chance by that rider last start when 4th in Highway to Atmospheric Rock. Was slow out there and traffic issues at 800m before going back inside in straight on a day where you had to be wide and well off the fence. Very good closing figures to be beaten 1.4L and was well backed $3.90. Maps well MF outside 4P back which is ideal spot this tempo and is an emerging horse proven on soft ground.
R7 n6 LADY LAGUNA 5th up off 21 days and drops 1kg out to 1300m (+100m) Proven out to 1300m and map is VG 3rd behind leaders on average tempo and soft track today is ideal. Last start had EPC in run but was dominant late again winning easily and figures were very good off the slow tempo with a huge L600. Super consistent mare with great racing pattern and is so well placed this weight scale today.
R10 n19 GENTLY ROLLED 3rd up off 14 days and is very well placed in BM78 class today after winning Mares BM78 last start with similar weight. Maps MF inside 3P back and suited running home late again. Last start sat 4th inside (track was off inside) and won brilliantly off a slow tempo she was eased down on the line. Was 2nd up there (off 175-day spell resuming run) so will still be improving and fitter today. Has very good closing figures off any tempo and likes the wet. Clear top pick.

R6 n2 BOOM TORQUE 4th up off 14 days rises 2.5kg off last start 5th here 1350m Open soft track (his form lot better on dry) to Never No More beaten 3.3L at $2.30. Was ridden forward from wide barrier (12) and was quickly beaten in straight off a 28- day break and have to forgive that loss given he was ridden up front on speed first time. Start prior at Gold Coast MM Day was a very impressive winner from the back after a wide run in a good class race and in the meetings best figures. Draws soft inside on map and is very well placed at set weights v these rivals. Should be winning.
R10 n8 SHOPPING ESPIRIT 4th up off 21 days drops 2.5kg off last start 2nd to Jetty (led/controlled) 1600m Eagle Farm beaten 0.8L well backed $2.25. He sat 5th and held up in straight-no clear run until 300m then was very strong to line- closing figures were best for the meeting off the good early tempo. Loses J Orman today as he can’t ride this weight, but he is a horse that seems to run for all jockeys with five different riders having won races on him. Primed to win today off soft draw if he jumps cleanly.

R3 n2 FIERY RING – was racing well without luck prior to last start where he attacked the line for 2nd behind the inform Tattle. Maps nicely behind a solid tempo and can run over the top of these late to score.
R4 n7 DEPTH CHARGE – 1st up for the Currie stable and brings good Victorian form for this race. Was an easy jump out winner in smart time on Tuesday, looks the winner.
R6 n8 ZOU ZOUAMORE – hit the line strongly for 3rd over a mile last start in a stronger race. Her previous form was much better than it reads on paper and will get a nice run just behind the speed, can outsprint these late with the light weight.
