5.00 p.m. R3 14 What You Like  (7 g Savabeel - Kinsella) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a3); drew the outside barrier (14) in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf and carries 48.5kgs. He requires a drop to Class 5 to again be competitive.

5.00 p.m. R3 16 Black Quail (7 g Coats Choice - Sefidi) - unfixed; drew 9 of 14 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf and carries 51.5kgs. Ballot two, he is unlikely to gain a start. 

5.30 p.m. R4 14 Quick Shosha  (4 g Snitzel - Leinan) - unfixed; drew the outside barrier (12) in the $20,000 Maiden 1400 metres on the poly track and carries 57.5kgs. Ballot two, and another unlikely to gain a start.

6.00 p.m. R5 13 Prince Pegasus  (7 g Beneteau - Sassy Peg) - Benny Woodworth; drew barrier 3 of 14 in the $30,000 Class 5 1600 metres on turf and carries 54.5kgs. He too comes in to this race with claims for a first four finish.

7.00 p.m. R7 13 Magnum King  (5 g Written Tycoon - Brilliant Bisc) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a3); drew the outside barrier (12) in the $50,000 Class 4 1100 metres on the poly track and carries 56kgs. Sitting number one on the ballot, he is an unlikely starter.

7.30 p.m. R8 9 Hidden Promise  (8 g Postponed - Promissory) - Dennis Tan (a4); drew barrier 12 of 14 in the $30,000 Class 5 1600 metres on turf and carries 51.5kgs. Down in weights, he finds the right race to feature in the first four - one of two in the event for Mark Walker.

7.30 p.m. R8 11 Lim's Rhythm  (6 g Rock ‘N' Pop - Paixanito) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a3); drew barrier 1 of 14 in the $30,000 Class 5 1600 metres on turf and carries 52kgs. The second runner for the stable in this race, he is training well and looks a top four prospect.

8.00 p.m. R9 3 Sacred Judgement (5 g So You Think - Rose Ransom) - Vlad Duric; drew barrier 1 of 14 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf and carries 56.5kgs. Look to see him improve with the blinkers going on.

8.00 p.m. R9 7 Admiral Winston  (4 g Declaration of War - Montclair) - Benny Woodworth; drew the outside barrier (14) in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf and carries 53kgs. A capable galloper, if he can navigate the nightmare draw (14) look for him to be finishing off well.

9.00 p.m. R11 4 Hadeer  (5 g Savabeel - A Real Princess) - Vlad Duric; drew barrier 11 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1100 metres on the poly track and carries 56kgs. Yet another with a difficult draw to overcome (11) but he rates a first four chance with the country's top rider aboard.

9.00 p.m. R11 14 JR Malone  (6 g Sepoy - Leone Chiara) - unfixed; drew barrier 9 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1100 metres on the poly track and carries 58kgs. Currently ballot two, he is not likely to make the field.

10.00 p.m. R13 1 Beau Geste  (6 g Street Cry - Haut Ton) - Vlad Duric; drew barrier 5 of 14 in the $70,000 Class 3 1400 metres on turf and carries 57.5kgs. This 6YO is enjoying very good form and certainly can is up to finishing in the money for the gun rider.

10.00 p.m. R13 16 Red Rover  (6 g O'Reilly - Pin Up) - unfixed; drew barrier 12 of 14 in the $70,000 Class 3 1400 metres on turf and carries 56.5kgs. At ballot two, he is unlikely to gain a start.
