THUMBS UP FOR HELENE WARRIOR

RACE 1 (1,650M)

1 Mighty Steed has shown potential in Class 3 and finds himself well-suited dropping into Class 4 for the first time.

7 Can't Go Wong, who tends to perform reliably even without frequent wins, should be primed to run well third-up.

5 Enshine should improve second-up from gate No. 1, stepping up in distance after needing the run on debut over an unsuitable 1,200m.

2 Escape Route boasts a solid record in this grade, with one win and a third from three starts. He may benefit from the extra distance.

RACE 2 (1,650M)

3 Charmander has shown marked improvement since joining trainer David Hall's yard, winning two of his three starts this season and finishing second in the other.

9 Medic Elite returns to his preferred track. Although he finished 12th at his last start, he was beaten by less than three lengths after being held up from the 150m.

1 Kasa Papa looks poised to win in this grade soon, as evidenced by his narrow defeat into second on his first appearance in Class 5.

2 Super Wise Dragon should be competitive if he stays sound, having pulled up as a "roarer" on multiple occasions.

RACE 3 (1,200M)

5 Circuit Duffy can make a winning debut for trainer Frankie Lor, having shown promise in his trials, and he has champion jockey Zac Purton aboard.

8 Team Happy has shown consistency in three runs this season, including a first-up win, and his on-pace style should position him favourably again.

On an early episode of Netflix's hit reality cooking show Culinary Class Wars (2024), chef Anh Sung-jae stood in a warehouse filled with makeshift cooking stations and considered the plate in front of him: a rainbow palette of handmade pastas, purees and delicately cooked seafood. On top was a smattering of flower petals.
