Why They Can Win….

RACE 1: (7) PRINCESS RHAENYS – Gets to her right distance after two strong prep runs. The booking of J Mac is a bonus.

RACE 2: (8) VODKA MARTINI – Ready for this third up. Well drawn with the benefit of an allowance.

RACE 3: (5) IMPERIALIST – Has found the line nicely in first two starts. Lethal trainer/jockey combo.

RACE 4: (10) XTRAVAGANT STAR – Honest mare. Drawn to get every chance.

RACE 5: (6) WATEGOS – Impressive last start and fitter for it. Should be ridden to exploit weight advantage.

RACE 6: (2) MORAVIA – Heavy track made it tough for him first-up. Rates highly under better conditions.

RACE 7: (1) LA CRIQUE – Dual G1 winner with all the right credentials. Favoured by the set weights.

RACE 8: (1) MARE OF MT BULLER – Prep runs point to her peaking over this trip. Sure to be strong late.

RACE 9: (14) OPAL RIDGE – Back in top form. Ideal conditions for her second up.
