Race 1 MAIDEN HCP (1000m)
The tricky opener, but now not regularly, the Corstens stable at Flemington brings an excellent-sized team to the border, so watch the marketplace on well-bred 3YO gelding 2. Rip City, who returns off a smash for most effective 0.33 career, begins with crucial blinkers on for the first time.
Dangers: Wagga 3YO gelding and primary starter 1. Backwater Trader hasn’t trialed for more than four months but attracts a terrific gate and reportedly runs properly, even as debutant 2YO filly 10. Tuscany (Hinchinbrook x Taqaseem by Medaglia d’Oro) hasn’t officially been trialed for five months; however, it was organized using leading Wagga strong.

Odds and Evens (First 2): Split
Race 2 OPEN HCP (1400m)
There are plenty of probabilities here, with most having solid, wet music shapes. Local 7YO mare 7. Lost Command is starting to run out of possibilities but has the capability. He is disappointed in his previous couple of while closely within the market, but does cope with wet tracks and appears well dealt with on 55kgs, with pivotal jockey alternate.
Dangers: Wodonga 5YO gelding 1. Toorak Cowboy resumed with a remarkable win from nicely off the velocity at Wagga before remaining late once more in a comparable organization. He has obvious moist music ability but weighted to his satisfaction with 61kg. Big step up in grade for revolutionary 4YO Gundagai gelding eight. Monkey, but he’s received his ultimate three-powering domestic from properly off the tempo and loves moist tracks—Canberra mare 2. Mahalo benefited from a lightweight to finish over the pinnacle in that Open grade at Wagga, maintaining off Toorak Cowboy, but up sharply in weight and drawn huge, even though it is an actual moist-tracker. Versatile 3YO Wangaratta gelding 3. Parliament moved through the grades well, final prep prevailing three straight, but first, run in 9 weeks with this weight and again in the trip. No horse across the Riverina loves moist tracks more than 6YO Wagga gelding four. Gentleman Max, although he’s been up for a while and probably needs a bathroom to win.How to play it: Lost Command each manner and primary four 1,7,eight/1,2,3, four,7,8

Race 3MAIDEN PLATE (1175m)
Another open contest, even though properly-bred 2YO Flemington filly 14. Durability who resumes for sturdy, stable looks very well positioned.
Dangers: Jerilderie 3YO filly 10. Trish’s Diamonds has plenty greater to give, with a 3kg claim for below-rated solid, and need to be suited to the floor, while 3YO Romsey filly It’s A Rah appears first-rate of the relaxation.

Race 4 CL1 & MAIDEN PLATE (1600m)
Exotic gamers could have fun on this large and modest subject, with plenty of probabilities—victorian 3YO gelding 6. Major Day received his maiden runs back just over the border and became once more robust past due over the mile on a Heavy eight at Tatura. Drops 3kg from that run and attracted to get masses of the cowl, so it doesn’t appear easy to forestall.
Dangers: Must encompass local 7YO gelding three. Dezzy led for an easy maiden win on a Heavy eight at Wagga, while any other neighborhood, 3YO filly 13. Pips ‘N’ Crowns has simplest won one and positioned as soon as from eight starts, but proven an ability to address moist tracks, and discovered the road k in a respectable Class 1 ultimate begin when clean in having a bet.

Race 5 BM fifty-eight HCP (2000m)
It is another open contest for the stayers or middle-distance gallopers stepping up. If 4YO Canberra mare 12. Sepulcher handles the floor; she’s the one to beat at precise odds. Hit the line nicely in proper Class 1 enterprise in her closing two; an extra ride is ideal. I drew out and never raced on something worse than a Soft 6; however, it is via Dane Shadow out of a Zabeel mare, so I ought to get via it.
Dangers: Another visitor from the Corstens yard at Flemington, 3YO filly 6. Tantivy completed off nicely to win this grade at Echuca but is going up sharply in the trip. Cranbourne 7YO gelding 5. Romelo is a real wet-tracker returning from a strong last run in a Highweight at Warrnambool. Looks acceptable on this grade. However, I will want precise speed up front, and the wetter, the higher. Wangaratta gelding and closing start disillusioned Goulburn winner 7. The Weald, and enhancing nearby gelding 11. Ad Finem is nice of the rest.

Race 6 BM fifty-eight HCP (1000m)
It was a very open and hard race in equal grades; however, back to the sprint ride. Prepared to provide lightly raced Wodonga gelding 10. Ajay took any other risk at huge odds after failing badly at Narrandera while truly easing out of the race from the 250m. Rider pronounced he wasn’t satisfied with the pony’s action on the Good three, and he had previously bolted in his maiden at Corowa in Soft 7 floor, so going back to more favorable conditions here looms as a large plus.
Dangers: Local 5YO gelding 6. Bradley failed to get many good formates to begin at the Heavy 10; from an outside barrier, he can be ridden extra aggressively, and the shape rider’s 3kg claim gets him well into the race. Seymour mare 4. Carwelkin is nice on most tracks and won this grade at Tatura Runs Back. Wangaratta gelding five. Yeldarb hasn’t started for eight months; however, it generally comes in handy quickly, even though an inside draw overdue in the Day can be a real drawback.

Dangers: Swan Hill 4YO mare 5. Time For Tea maintains enhancing and shooting for three instantly after again-to-returned wins in easier grades coming from nicely off the speed. Drawn out, but that shouldn’t be a concern past due in the Day. Watch for large development 2d-up from sparingly raced 4YO Cranbourne stallion 1. Devil’s Rain has already won two from 4 at the sparkling side and might fee late down the center with leading district rider taking place while including local 4YO gelding 7. Funky Farm also has a leaning towards rain-affected going.
