4:00 p.m. R1 14 Wednesday (5 g Super One - Shufetish) - unfixed; he drew barrier 11 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1100 metres on the poly-track and carries 50kg , however he sits at two on the ballot and is unlikely to make the field.

4:30 p.m. R2 7 Charmshaab (3 g Charm Spirit - Sehaab) - Louis Beuzelin; he drew barrier 8 of 10 in the $20,000 Maiden 1400 metres on the turf and carries 55.5kg. He is another looking to improve.

5:00 p.m. R3 6 God's Gift (6 g Haradasun - Criquette) - Jamil Sarwi (a4); he drew the outside barrier (10) in the $30,000 Class 5 2000 metres on the turf and carries 50.5kg. While he disappointed last week, his work has been solid since and he rates a top four chance at his best.

5:30 p.m. R4 5 Deception (4 g I Am Invincible - Friday Hussy) - Yusoff Fadzli (a2); he drew barrier 2 of 7 in the $50,000 Class 4 1600 metres on the turf and carries 50kg. He is better than recent form indicates and looks a top three chance.

9:00 p.m. R11 3 Axel (7 g Darci Brahma - Josephines Fortune) - Yusoff Fadzli (a2); he drew barrier 3 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1400 metres on the turf and carries 55kg. He has recorded five of eight wins at this distance, any rain helps, and this model of consistency should be competitive.
