BEST BETS
R3 n1 DOM Forward inside to be on speed from ideal draw. 3rd race start off 28 days (VG quiet jump out since) rises 3kg out to 1523m (+123m). Last start Caulfield G4 led on a fast tempo back onto a G4 track and ran 2nd beaten 1.5L late when smashed in betting in an extremely high rating race. He went out very fast there early (+12L faster to the 600m than debut win) and was vulnerable late. Back off 28 days and leading on a more moderate tempo makes him very hard to run down late today.
R9 n8 EXTRATWO Forward on map early from wider draw but has Blake Shinn riding and should get cover there behind the speed. 2ª up off 14 days rises 3.5kg stays at 1200m. Resumed off short 63-day spell here Slow 6 when drew out and went back to 7th on an even tempo but was wide no cover and ran home strongly for 21ª beaten 1.5L. Had dominant closing figures despite the wide trip, lightly raced mare who loves this track and better suited on the dryer ground this time.

BEST BETS
R5 n3 ELIYASS Maps 3 pairs back outside on slow tempo resuming off 77 days and two trials. Resumed off 265 days here H9 track drew soft and went back 6th early on a fast tempo nut unleashed late to win by 1.8L. The figures from the race were outstanding – he looks like a high-quality stayer. Back onto dryer ground today is the unknown as all wins/runs so far have been on wet or synthetic tracks. He might be even better on dryer tracks-that’s the unknown. Impossible to ignore the quality of his last win though and he is a clear top pick against this class of horse.
R6 n1 MANAAL Maps 3 pairs back outside resuming off 126-day spell and two special trials. High class 3YO filly resuming off a great 2YO campaign in all the best races. 1200m at this track where all 3 of her wins have been is also a plus. Clearly the horse to beat in this race, she will be very strong late today and I expect her to win well.
R8 n6 FANGIRL Maps back near last on an average tempo resuming off 175-day spell off two trials. (J Mac rode in both). Outstanding mare with brilliant fresh record who loves Randwick and dry tracks. Clear top pick despite being back on the map, she will roll home over the top of these late out wider in the straight and win.
R10 n7 SPRING LEE Maps 3 pairs back outside and suited from there late off this tempo. 2nd up off 21 days rises 1kg out to 1200m (+100m). Resumed off short 77-day spell Rosehill G4 drew inside went back 8th (keen) on a fast tempo and charged home late for 2a beaten 0.5L. Overall figures from race were excellent and she closed off very well. Lightly raced well-bred mare better than BM78 class and she does have serious closing speed. M Zahra a huge plus.

R4 n5 BOHEMIAN LAD 5th up off 14 days out to 1300m (+100m). Unbeaten on this track (2/2). Last start drew outside went back on an even tempo (it was an on-speed race) but ran home strongly for 3rd beaten 2.81 by Invincible Shield who is very smart. His last three runs have all been good and will be well suited here late down the middle of the track off this tempo. Softer track suits today.

BEST BETS
R5 n3 EVOLEUS Is a fast mare who was narrowly beaten on debut over this distance in Adelaide two runs back. She resumed and hung badly when 3rd at Ipswich over 800m last start. Has since jumped out at Toowoomba in very good style and can offset the wide gate to lead and win.
