RACE 1 (2,200M) 6 Fury And Gold is poised for a breakthrough win, having flashed home late into second on his first attempt at this distance. Relatively unexposed, he could still have untapped potential and looks ready to strike.
2 Palace Pal made an encouraging return to Class 5 last time, finishing a strong third. He remains a solid chance with a favourable draw in gate 2.
7 Golden Fairy may enjoy a soft lead and will prove hard to catch.
4 Super Hong Kong remains a threat and can bounce back anytime at this level.
RACE 2 (1,000M) 2 Modest Gentleman was a nightmare watch when returning to Class 5 last time. After lunging forward at the start and making contact with the gates, he lost ground, was hampered, and settled at the rear before encountering significant interference in the home straight. Despite all that, he was only beaten a little over two lengths into sixth.
10 Plentiful, from barrier 1, will have every opportunity to secure back-to-back wins.
7 Country Dancer has not had much luck in recent runs since dropping to this class, but he should deliver his best if he avoids trouble from gate 11.
1 Dan Attack drops back to Class 5 with James McDonald booked - a combination that bodes well for his chances.
RACE 3 (1,200M) 6 Telecom Dragon profiles strongly third-up after two promising placings in stronger races. He shapes as one of the better chances, benefiting from a favourable barrier.
4 Beauty Light finished over four lengths away in 11th on debut but encountered traffic just as he was starting to wind up late. With Zac Purton aboard and barrier 2, he can take a positive step forward second-up.
