8.30 p.m. R10 4 Time Lord (6 g Guillotine - Mary Agnes) - Benny Woodworth; drew barrier 12 of 14 in the in the $70,000 Class 3 1800 metres on turf and carries 56.5kgs. He would appreciate rain on the day - in a race with three stable runners.

8.30 p.m. R10 5 Inherit (5 g Pierro - In the Future) - Vlad Duric; drew barrier 1 of 14 in the in the $70,000 Class 3 1800 metres on turf and carries 55.5kgs. He is ideally drawn (1), has the leading rider aboard and he rates a top four chance.

The 1800 metres suits this horse who was fourth in a Queensland Derby - he carries a featherweight and looks an each way chance at odds.

9.00 p.m. R11 2 Elite Power (6 g Sakhee's Secret - London Welsh) - Ruan Maia; drew barrier 1 of 14 in the $85,000 Class 2 1400 metres on turf and carries 57.5kgs. He is enjoying tremendous form, but does go up in the weights - however can feature in the first four in yet another race with three for Mark Walker.

9.00 p.m. R11 8 Sacred Croix  (6 g Savabeel - Croix Du Sud) - Benny Woodworth; drew barrier 12 of 14 in the $85,000 Class 2 1400 metres on turf and carries 52kgs. He has struggled since reaching Class 2, but he rates a place chance.

Promising galloper, he presents as a strong top three prospect with the country's leading rider aboard. He and his stablemate should be respected.

10.30 p.m. R14 10 Mustengo  (5 g Minstrel Court - Zabba) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a3); drew barrier 4 of 14 in the $50,000 Class 4 1400 metres on turf and carries 51kgs. Good last start second and he rates a top four chance.
