5:30 p.m. R2 3 Eagle Eye (8 g Pure Prize - Miss Tessi) - Iskandar Rosman (a2); drew barrier 5 of 8 in the $50,000 Class 4 1400 metres on turf and carries 53.5kg. He's a back runner in the race with plenty of speed and should be finishing strongly - one of two in the race for the stable.

5:30 p.m. R2 4 Flashfast (4 g Dream Ahead - Ohmygod) - Jake Bayliss; drew barrier 6 of 8 in the $50,000 Class 4 1400 metres on turf and carries 55.5kg. He improved with blinkers on last start and he rates a top four chance.

7:30 p.m. R6 1 Montana Flash (4 g Star Turn - Dukemore) - Jake Bayliss; drew outside barrier (8) in the $75,000 Novice 1200 metres on turf and carries 58kg. He trialled well, comes in fresh, is better at 1400 metres but rates a top four chance - one of a trio for Te Akau.

7:30 p.m. R6 3 Winning Stride (4 g Wrote - Tossed and Turned) - Vlad Duric; drew barrier 5 of 8 in the $75,000 Novice 1200 metres on turf and carries 58kg. He won nicely on debut, is suited on turf, has the top rider, and rates a top three prospect.

7:30 p.m. R6 4 Deception (4 g I Am Invincible - Friday Hussy) - Simon Kok (a1); drew barrier 7 of 8 in the $75,000 Novice 1200 metres on turf and carries 57kg. He seeks improvement in an easier field.

8:30 p.m. R8 1 Super Impact (4 g Real Impact - Trick) - Jake Bayliss; drew barrier 1 of 6 in he $70,000 Class 3 1800 metres on turf and carries 59kg. A dominant winner last time and he rates a top three chance.

9:00 p.m. R9 2 Trident (4 g Deep Field - Miss Fi) - Iskandar Rosman (a2); drew barrier 3 of 10 in the $50,000 Class 4 1400 metres on turf and carries 55kg. With two wins and two second's from four starts, he will run as one of favourites, and has strong top three prospects - in an event with three for the stable.

9:00 p.m. R9 3 Kermajack (5 g Kermadec - Kapala) - Jake Bayliss; drew barrier 8 of 10 in the $50,000 Class 4 1400 metres on turf and carries 55kg. He is resuming after a wind op, trialled okay but needs further.

9:00 p.m. R9 7 Implement (7 g Holy Roman Emperor - If Dubai) - Jerlyn Seow (a3); drew barrier 5 of 10 in the $50,000 Class 4 1400 metres on turf and carries 50kg. Very nice first-up run for the stable when finishing third and he has first four claims if okay second-up.

9:30 p.m. R10 9 Minister (6 g Street Sense - Light and Variable) - Matthew Kellady; drew barrier 10 of 14 in the $300,000 Queen Elizabeth II Cup (Gr. 1, 1800m) on turf and carries 58kg. Disappointing this preparation, he meets a slick field, and he needs to improve.

10:05 p.m. R11 1 Brutus (6 g Rubick - Harvest Queen) - Jerlyn Seow (a3); drew barrier 3 of 10 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf and carries 54kg. He has a good course/distance stats and he rates a top four chance - the first of three for the team.
