Warwick Farm
Race 1
#3. Castillo King @ $1.90 (neds) – Has looked outstanding at the trials, showing plenty of speed and a sharp turn of foot. Looks primed to make a winning debut.
Sandown Hillside
Race 1
#12. Anastasia’s Flame@ $91 / $9 EW (neds) – Quick back-up after an encouraging run where she hit the line strongly on wet ground. Had little luck and worth a small EW play at enormous odds.
Race 2
#7. Chateau Dancer @ $8.50 (neds) – Closed off well first-up and looks suited rising to 1600m. Wet conditions should also play to her strengths.
Race 3
#1. Silent Shares @ $4.40 (neds) – Produced a strong effort in better company last start and drops in nicely after the claim. Expected to settle closer and prove hard to beat.
Race 8
#1. He’ll Rip @ $7.50 / $2.60 EW (neds) – Drops back in grade after a solid last-start performance and looks ready to break through. Well placed in this company.
Grafton
Race 6
#3. Rustemo @ $2 (neds) – Meets a key rival much better at the weights after their last clash. Racing consistently this preparation and looks well placed back in grade.
Eagle Farm
Race 8
#2. Metaphorically @ $13 / $3.50 (neds) – Forgive the first-up run after pulling up lame. Blinkers go on and recent work has been encouraging, giving him the chance to bounce back.
Balaklava
Race 4
#1. Trade Game @ $2 (neds) – Impressed breaking through in a handy maiden last start and now drops into a thin Class 1. Looks the one to beat.
Race 5
#3. Impending Diamond @ $2.80 (neds) – Back in easier company and boasts an excellent record at Balaklava. Looks well placed to return to winning form.
