R2 n8 VODKA MARTINI Maps well leading inside from ideal draw 3rd up off 14 days out to 1200m (+90m). Last start 2nd up off 28-day break began awkwardly and then forward on an even tempo when 3rd Doomben beaten 1.4L. Overall figures from race were ok for the meeting and he held on bravely late. Looks to get a soft run leading today and if he can return to his best figures 3rd up today, he should be winning.
R5 n8 WATEGOS Great map forward inside on leaders back 4th up off 14 days drops 5.5kg (up from BM85 to Listed) out to 1500m (+150m). Last start in weaker class Doomben BM85 drew soft enjoyed good run and far too strong late winning by 2.4L well backed late at $3.90. That was the perfect race for him, this is tougher but gets the weight drop, gun map for Orman and out to 1500m which suits. His best figures are more than competitive today and clear top pick with weight pull on Yellow Brick.
R9 n3 VILANA Maps well forward inside behind leaders 3rd up off 14 days, drops 3kg back to 1200m (-150m). Last start Doomben 1350m Slow 6 went back on a slow tempo ran home late beaten 1.8L well backed $5. Closing figures there were very good. Back to 1200m today off a 14-day break is not normally ideal but this stable can do that with their horses. Needs another win badly but gelded this prep and both runs since that have been good and like the tongue tie going on him today.

R4 n3 CAPRICORN MAN – 2nd up today, surprisingly settled back when resuming before closing off nicely for 3rd at this track over 1000m. Is better when leading and gets that chance from the inside draw in an easier race today and looks the winner.

R4 n3 QUANTUM CAT – Maps closer today inside behind the lead group 4th up off 14 days drops 2kg (Bm78 to BM84) out to 2520m (+120m). Last start went right back from outside draw on a very slow tempo Randwick Slow 5 and charged late with an outstanding L600m. Well suited back to Flemington 4th up and out to 2520m off that effort. D Lane has first ride and proven this distance in UK. All three Aust runs have been very good and sets up well to be winning this late.
R6 n12 SILENT SURRENTE – Maps very well forward inside this draw 4th up off 28 days drops 2.5kg stays at 2000m. Last start was 1600-2000m drew wide went forward on an even tempo and was keen in the run beaten 0.6L by Sea What I See- that’s a good form reference for here and seems well weighted this class. Really genuine mare suited out to 2000m today off an ideal map.
R8 n20 ELOUYOU – Positive early this map from wider draw 3rd up off 24 days drops 5.5kg (BM70 to BM84) out to 1400m (+100m). Last start 2ª Sandown went forward on a fast tempo just run down late beaten 0.3L. (Winner there has won impressively since). Figures from Sandown race were outstanding and their closing speed off a fast tempo was excellent. Has won at 1400m last run before a spell when led/controlled on a fast tempo winning by 3L in good overall figures at a very strong meeting at Geelong. Lightly raced emerging 4YO horse with real upside and he will keep running here in front today for D Lane.

R6 n13 THE BLACK CLOUD – Map suits today on Heavy track forward early with cover behind the speed. 2a up off 14 days rises 3kg (stays in BM78 class and at 1000m) Resumed off 112-day spell began awkwardly and over raced off an even tempo but was too strong late winning here in strong overall figures. That was career best win so far so she has returned in great shape-good quality filly to be still in a BM78 class race. Unbeaten all 3 runs on Soft but no starts on Heavy yet. Should be too good for these again today.
R9 n11 SEMILLION – Map suits today on Heavy forward early wide with cover behind the speed 5th up off 28 days back to 1100m (-100m). Last start drew inside led/controlled in front on a very fast tempo and won by 0.9L heavily backed late at $3.75. There was genuine merit in that win off that tempo. Back to 1100m today but gets a very fast tempo up front and he can be very strong late with 53.5kg this track today. Unbeaten on Heavy tracks and all runs this prep have been very good.

R4 n1 RUSSIAN SUB has always shown plenty of talent and is starting to put it all together now. Ran 2nd to Oughton last start who placed in a much stronger race at Eagle Farm last weekend and maps for the right run here, looks the winner.
R5 n2 SPRAY GUN ex SA horse resuming for the Currie stable. Had strong form down south and has jumped out well for his return, can race on pace and very hard to beat.
