FLEMINGTON
R1 #11 KAITUKU
Lightly raced stayer who produced a peak rating when stepping out to this distance range for the 1st time last run. Maps to get an easy lead here.
R7 #9 FRONT PAGE
Absolutely bolted in last start when winning the Wagga Town Plate and has won 5 from 8 at this distance. He has a win down the straight and he put that field away easily. He looks a flying machine on the way up.

R8 #8 SKYMAN
Two excellent runs since resuming where has really found the line as he tends to do. Will get back, as usual, but a bit of speed in this race so will suit has racing style.

ROSEHILL
R7 #3 ALEAS
Another UK import for Waller that won the Wagga Cup last start over this distance. Rises 2kgs for this race but is drawn soft to get a nice run in transit so should get every chance to win again.

R9 #13 QUINTELLO
Walked in fresh running terrific time/ figures then walked in again Randwick on very wet, again, she ran the time. Looks Group-class and stays down in weights here. Draw perhaps tricky but has to be top pick.
MORPHETTVILLE
R6 #1 DOUCEUR
Patrick Payne travels this filly across the border again and presents her as the days best bet! Thought her run in The Australian Oaks was full of merit when beaten just 2.2L after being made to cover plenty of extra ground final 600m. Outstanding placing 2nd-up against G3 company over unsuitable 1600m. Only two ‘failures’ has had plenty of excuses. Only run this trip gave an almighty sight before being grabbed late in the Kennedy Oaks. Not at all concerned by wide draw as expect Michael Dee to push forward and settle on-pace. Given no scratchings rates clearly on top at $2.50.
