R8 n5 THANKYOU HENRY Map suits forward inside behind leaders this tempo. 4th up off 11 days drops 2.5kg and out to 1350m (+150m). Last start Doomben OMW S6 track sat back 5th early in 1/1 position and had his chance to win late from there when 2nd to John Rambo beaten 0.9L when well backed. Unproven at 1350 but claim very significant here for in-form rider off a great map, loves the Soft and looks a great chance to get another win on the board.

R4 n11 FREIGHT TRAIN Forward early behind lead group. 2d up off 24 days drops 2kg and stays at 1600m. Resumed off 161 day spell BM70 Sandown drew inside sat 4rh early inside 5L off leader and not in A Ground there either at that meeting. Was brave late running 3d with big weight beaten narrowly by Carnival Row who he gets a 2.5kg weight swing. 2nd up form is excellent and has to be fitter today 2nd up for M Dee off a good map and well proven at 1600m. Decent horse suited this class race today with positive gear change.
R5 n3 SWEETHEARTED Back inside on map early. 2nd up off 14 days drops 2.5kg and stays at 1100m. Resumed off short 84 day spell Listed Class Flemington and was very good when well back 7L off leader and buried away and then held up but was really strong to the line beaten 2.2L by Alabama Lass. Inside map looks a concern though-will need a great ride late from there. He is a smart horse in a very good stable and has powerful closing speed in his races which will be requited here off his map and this race tempo but too classy to say he can’t run over them late and win though. Really like him as a horse.
R7 n13 ZLOTIES Back off MF with cover. 3′ up off 24 days drops 3.5kg and out to 1400m (+100m). Last start Sand H sat 5th 5L off leader and in right spot before running home strongly to win well when heavily backed. She had the right run there but looks to get that again today and the filly she beat last start Thames was very good last week. Stable are on fire and she is clear top pick again today.
R10 n12 PIVOT CITY Back MF and inside on map. 3″d up off 21 days drops 2.5kg and out to 1300m. Last start BM78 Moonee Valley drew outside sat back last 10L off leader and made run wide against the bias at that meeting running 2’* to Elouyou beaten 1L. It was an excellent effort. Inside map here is some concern if track is playing to wider runners late in meeting but now he is gelded he has come back a much better horse and capable of winning better races than this one.

R3 n2 LORD OF BISCAY Maps 3P back outside and suited. 5th up off 42 days and ran 2nd 920m trial Newcastle April 2″*. Last start Newcastle (off 49 day break) drew wider and sat 5th 4L off leader and 3 wide early running 2’* to Welcometobarbados beaten narrowly when heavily backed. He was very brave late there running second off that map. Dry tracker well suited at 1400m in this class and J Mac a key riding change off a great map. Keen he wins.
R4 n5 INKARUNA M Zahra (2) 56kg $3.90 3ª race start off 35 days and impressively won 740m trial Randwick March 28. Last start Randwick sat back 8th early 8L off leader on a fast tempo and was locked away there from 600-300m before running home strongly late for 3rd beaten 1.3L by Tempted. Very good effort and overall race figure was solid- she closed off strongly L200m. She was also strong late on debut Sandown with a strong L400m figure. Well-bred lightly raced filly in leading stable and sets up well here today after missing the Golden Slipper. M Zahra a key riding change for this stable off a great trial and confident she can win.
R8 n12 VIA SISTINA Maps 4th inside on leaders back. 4** up off 21 days and had quite tick over 1000m trial April 4th at Rosehill. Last start Group 1 Rosehill drew inside sat 4™ before winning easily by 1.6L at $1.22. Obviously had a lap on those horses and now arrives in target race for her prep in superb shape. Also gets preferred racing surface today and is our dominant WFA 2000m horse so is clear top pick today.
R9 n1 FANGIRL Maps 4P back outside. 4th up off 21 days and had quiet tick over 1000m trial Rosehill April 4th. Last start Group 1 Rosehill Drew outside sat back 6th early and charged late for 2nd beaten narrowly by Gringotts. She was wide there and was against the track bias at that meeting-her effort was outstanding. Freak mare at Randwick and is very well placed here back to F/Mares class off a great map. Keen she wins.

R3 n7 GIDDAY GIDDAY Got caught wide but ran well for 3’d when resuming over this course and distance last start. Form last campaign is good enough to win this race and maps beautifully from the inside draw today, hard to beat.
