R2 n8 GALILAEUS 2nd up off 21 days and drops 4kg out to 2520m (+480m) and maps well here on speed. Resumed when 6th behind Miss TarzyBM70 beaten 2.9L at $8 in a Fast run high rang race for the meeng. Was in restricted room in the straight there and ran home best of the race aer that. Has form in UK out to 2800m so stepping out to 1500m is probably ideal. D Lane a key switch from J McNeill. Looks beter than these.
R5 n2 SANS DOUTE 5th up off 31 days and rises 1.5kg out to 1100m (+100m). Maps well on speed and inside. Last start won brilliantly here 1000m BM70 by 3L in outstanding figures. Her L600m there was borderline elite. That was her first go down the straight and she loved it –out to 1100m a bonus as her best form is at 1200m. Clear top pick in a good race.
R7 n3 REY MAGNERIO 8th run for prep with breaks and off 14 days here. Rises 3kg and out to 1200m (+100m). Last start resumed off a 47 day break to win at Geelong in only plain figures. He was keen early and mid-stages of that race. Stays in BM84 class and rises in weight but proven down the straight and should improve lengths off that Geelong run today. Gets back and wider with cover today- nice map for him, he is a beter horse ridden back off a tempo. Can win again.
R9 n10 BEL AIR 6th up off 19 days and drops 4.5kg stays at 1400m. Won last start here 1400m BM70 with 62kg off a very fast tempo in excellent figures. His close there off a very fast speed was outstanding with that weight. Gets weight relief today going up to BM84 and maps MF and inside but suited by tempo. Will explode late today for D Lane if he gets clear air in straight. Keen he wins this race.

R3 n5 WILLAIDOW 2nd up off 30 days and drops 2kg out to 1200m (+100m). Leads on map. Last start won resuming off 214 days at Gosford 1100m on So 7 when led and bolted in 3.3L at $8.50. Figures from there were dominant for entire meeting off a FAST tempo. Lightly raced talented 5YO proven out to 1400m and loves so tracks.
R4 n4 TIME TO BOOGIE 3rd up off 14 days and stays at 1200m. Last start 3rd here behind Kinloch beaten 0.2L at $2.45. Sat up on speed 2nd up 1200m there on FAST pace and very brave late. Closing figures there off that tempo was Best of Meeting. Leads and controls on map today in what will be a lot slower tempo- short price but looks a safe bet.
R8 n4 STEP ASIDE 4th up off 21 days and out to 1500m (+100m). Maps well MF 3P inside off a slow lead speed is a lot different set up to last start when 3rd to Luvoir 1400m here at $2.25. That horse really broke the field up that day off a very fast lead speed. This horse was just le with too much to do late. His closing figures there off that tempo were outstanding and T Berry is a key jockey change from J Collet. So track form is good and his best form still ahead of him.
R9 n6 OUR KOBISON 2nd up off 14 days and rises 1kg out to 1100m (+100m). Maps very well 3rd fence with leaders back. Resumed 2nd here Jan 6 to Tintookie in high rang race- figures from there were best of meeng. His closing figures and actual strength through the line was outstanding. And it was off only one trial so he will improve lengths off that today. J Mac rides today replacing T Berry and he rode him when winning last prep. No starts on wet tracks but has trialled well on So previously. Clear top pick.

R3 n7 PAYLINE 4th up off 14 days and drops 1kg out to 1300m (+200m) which suits. Map is a bit awkward early for him here he probably goes back to last early. Last start was 3rd at Gold Coast 1100m behind Barassi (very smart) beaten 5.5L when slow away. He had the best L200 of the meeng there coming from 9th. Is still a maiden but this track and distance ideal for him and soer track no issue. Will be very strong late at 1300m in smaller field with any sort of tempo up front. Has a big finish.
R6 n12 SUBSTANTIAL 6th up off 21 days and last start 4th to Grebeni 1600m Randwick. Sat 7th there on a SLOW tempo and finished very well beaten 3L at $8 well backed with Norton bit on. Rises 1.5kg weight but back to 1400m leading is ideal and is very well placed with 55.5kg this weight scale. Yet to win in Australia for Snowden’s and only 3 career wins from 18 starts but does have a 2nd here at 1400m to Anno which would win this race quite easily. Map suits forward on a slow tempo and will get chance to break through today. Overall figures are rock solid for this race today.
