Weather: cloudy, track: Heavy10, rail: out 4.5 metres. No rain forecast.

4:02 p.m. R7 6 My Lips Are Sealed (5 m Ace High – Tellmeaboutit) – George Rooke; she found the line after circling widest from back in the field when resuming in the Open Handicap 1400 metres on 20 September at Ellerslie, and contests the $80,000 Listed Team Wealleans Matamata Cup (1600m). She won the Group 3 Phar Lap Trophy (1600m) in dominant fashion last season at Trentham, and two of her four career wins have been on heavy tracks.  She is also a winner, and has a good record, on her home course, carries the minimum weight (53kg) and rates a top three chance if she can secure a suitable trip from her wide draw (12). Fixed odds: $4.00 & $1.85.
