4.30 p.m. R2 2 Entertainer  (3 g Zoustar - Laughing) - Ruan Maia; drew barrier 7 of 14 in the $75,000 Restricted Maiden 1200 metres on turf and carries 57.5kgs. The trialled nicely, has improved physically and thus looks a top four candidate.

4.30 p.m. R2 12 Speedy Missile  (3 g Smart Missile - Telegraph Girl) - Ryan Munger; drew barrier 13 of 14 in the $75,000 Restricted Maiden 1200 metres on turf and carries 57.5kgs. He rates a place chance with luck from the draw (13).
