R8 n8 VIA SISTINA Maps closer today inside behind leaders from inside draw. 2nd up off 21 days and well suited out to 1600m. Really like the fact that she is 2nd up off 21 days today compared to rivals off 14 days. Resumed off 133-day spell Randwick G4 drew wider went back gth on a very slow tempo and charged home late to win narrowly. Her closing speed there was elite, and she had the fastest L200m of meeting. Outstanding imported mare now in 2nd prep for Waller stable and her returning win was huge. Suited out to 1600m and reports from UK are that she is a lot better mare on wet tracks so looks the winner today.

R3 n7 UNUSUAL LEGACY Back last on map 2d up off 14 days drops 2kg and well suited out to 1800m (+300m). Resumed off 105 days here, drew outside went back near last but stormed home late for 2nd beaten 2L (winner was on speed). He had dominant late closing figures from that race and out to 1800m 2a up is ideal. Unbeaten 2/2 2nd up but maps back near last and will be very strong late again today off this tempo. Destined for much better races than this one.
R8 n2 STORM BOY Leads and controls on map on fast tempo 2’d up off 14 days out to 1200m (+100m). Resumed off 147 days led and controlled on an even tempo before a powerful L600m sprint put his rivals to the sword winning by 2.9L. The overall figures from the race were the best of the meeting and he finished off with 6th fastest L200m of meeting. It was a very impressive win and a clear career peak performance figure. Big gross colt who will be fitter 2nd up and very hard to beat again and he really runs for this jockey.
R10 n14 BLANC DE BLANC Maps 3P back inside. 2d up off 14 days drops 5kg stays at 1100m. Resumed off 161-day spell Rosehill drew outside went back 6th on an even tempo and ran home powerfully late for 2nd beaten 2L by Briasa (smart) and gave him 2.5kg in weight. Gets a lot better map today from inside draw and will be fitter. Will be very hard to beat.

R5 n5 BATTLEFIELD Maps back MF and inside from this draw at 1000m. 5th up off 45 days and impressively won trial Deagon Sept 3rd. His form this prep has been excellent at 1200-1350m and back to 10000m today looks some concern. Flying for new stable in Brisbane (ex M Vella) with blinkers off and unbeaten this track 2/2 but has never been a 1000m horse previously. Has huge closing speed and will be storming home late off this tempo.
R6 n8 TRIBECA STAR Gets back on map early from wide draw. 2a up off 17 days drops 3kg stays at 1200m. Resumed off 144-day spell weak Class 3 Sun Coast G4 drew inside went back 7th on a slow tempo (unsuited) but was way too strong late winning easily 1.3L when smashed late in betting. His closing speed there was outstanding off the slow tempo with completely meeting dominant L400/200m figures. Tougher class race here and will have to come from the back again off this map but is a lightly raced 5YO in top stable and he has top end closing speed in his races.
R8 n4 HIDDEN WEALTH Maps forward inside from draw and should have leaders back there. Resumes off short 77-day spell and won trial Doomben Aug 27. Lightly raced horse with good overall record and loves Eagle Farm. Up to Open Class today for first time but well suited off this map to strike in the straight with 53.5kg. Clear top pick and should be winning.

R4 n1 PRIVATE BANKER Hasn’t had much luck his past two runs and finds a suitable race today 3ª up from a spell. There isn’t a lot of speed on paper so he should find the front today back on his home track where he has a good record and will take plenty of running down.
