Last start BM78 Eagle Farm was 3rd up off a short break and 1600m to 1830m with 61kg. Sat 5th early on an even tempo and got to lead at 200m but run down late for 2nd beaten 0.3L by Iverson 57.5kg. Brave effort with weight there and should cross easily enough into a good spot on the map and suited back to 1600m off 21 days.
R7 n3 PROVANCE Forward inside on map to lead. 6th up off 14 days rises 2.5kg stays at 1200m. Last start Class 2 Ipswich sat 2d on a fast tempo and won easily by 2.6L when heavily backed into $2.20.

Drops 1.5kg out to 1600m (+100m) on last start win Eagle Farm when 4th up for new stable and 1625m back to 1500m. He drew wide there on a very fast tempo (unsuited) and was way too good late, winning by 2.1L in excellent overall figures. Should get over early from draw and be behind the leaders. Racing well for new stable and can win again.
R9 n8 THE INFLICTOR Forward early on map to lead. He has been in work since October 2023 with only small breaks in between. Off 23 days here drops 1kg out to 1400m (+200m).

R4 n5 SAMANGU Leads and controls on map for C Williams. 4th up off 28 days rises 3kg and suited back to 1100m(-100m). Last start BM78 Pakenham led and controlled on an even tempo and was brave late to win narrowly at $2.15 beating a good horse Cheval Chic. Overall figures were rock solid and she closed off strongly. Now won both starts this prep and back to 1100m off a break suits, astute stable and gets C Williams.
R8 n15 DEAKIN Forward early on map to get over behind leaders, will need good ride early to get cover. 31d up off 28 days drops 7kg and stays at 2000m. Last start BM78 Pakenham was 2nd up and 1600-2000m sat 3d outside on a slow tempo (suited) and raced away late winning by 3L. Entitled to win there but did win easily. His closing figures were very good for the race. Best horse here down to 53kg on his way to the Adelaide Cup.
R10 n12 DREAM ALL DAY Forward inside behind leader early. 4th up off 17 days rises 2.5kg and suited out to 1800m (+200m). Last start won at Flemington (weak class race) off 25 days and 1400-1600m drew outside crossed and led for B Shinn on a very slow tempo and was strong late winning by 0.75L at $2. She was keen in front there on that tempo but was too classy late with 5th fastest L200m of meeting. Classy mare suited out to 1800m and stable are on fire.

R4 n16 SHOHISHA Map suits 3 pairs back off inside. 21d up off 18 days and stays at 1200m. Resumed off 115 days in Listed race at Wyong, sat 4th on a very slow tempo running 2nd to Dance To The Boom (very smart) beaten 0.8L. Closing figures there were outstanding off the slow tempo. Lightly raced 3YO filly taking on older horses here but her maiden win at Warwick Farm on debut she was huge late winning in quality figures and then next two runs were in 2YO Group class races. This is not a conventional Midway set up but this stable is far from conventional. Genuine talent who won maiden on Soft 5 so wet track should be fine.
R7 n5 SALTCOATS Maps 4 pairs back outside. 4th up off 21 days drops 4kg and stays at 2000m. Last start BM88 Randwick was 3ª up out to 2000m drew soft and sat back 6th inside 7L off leaders on a fast tempo- he cruised past them in straight to win easily 1.2L when smashed late in betting $2.60. His closing speed there was elite for a stayer off that tempo. He is ready for tougher class race today and with 54kg looks the winner. Proven on Heavy.
R8 n5 CIGAR FLICK Maps 4 pairs back outside. 5th up off 21 days rises 3kg and out to 1300m (-100m). Last start Listed Eagle Farm drew inside (unsuited) and sat back 7th inside 4L off led on a fast tempo. Ran into traffic issues in the straight as usual for her and was beaten 1.1L by Bubbas Bay when heavily backed late-she should have finished closer there. Back to BM88 class today and proven on heavy and J Mac will get her clear air in straight. Out to 1300m a slight query but she should have won at that distance in Listed class at Eagle Farm two runs back. Rosehill form is very good.
