Track Soft 6 and rail True
Race 1
2. Everybody Rise is a talented four-year-old trained on the track and looks ready fresh off a 32-week spell, and finding preferable soft ground. Never out of the placings in three solid closing runs last prep, and was good through the line in the second of two heavy track metro trials. Only missed a place twice from eight starts, comes to hand sharply, and is drawn to get to the outside where he’s at his best. 8. Hereward is a promising three-year-old resuming since late autumn for just his third outing. Likely to jump favourite, tuned up with a solid city trial, and thrives in rain-affected going. 4. Narcissist is a very lightly raced five-year-old, and big betting watch resuming off a sound trial. Gap to the rest is headed by 6. Disparate, who has been given seven weeks since an even debut here, and having been preferred here to Canterbury on Wednesday, can improve on softer ground.

Race 2
7. Hellabella is a game filly who was only run down late by the stablemate after leading first-up at Gosford. Bound to improve given that was only her second start since early March, and there were some smart fillies who finished behind her that day. The more the track slips into softer range, the better placed she is. 3. Jellicious is the immediate threat resuming off a long break and two trials for the top trainer and jockey combination. Lightly raced and competitive up to group 3 level last spring. 1. Call Me Sassy is a mare by Zoustar, and market watch on debut for the David Pfieffer stable behind a soft trial. 6. Fullalove returning for a second prep off two improving trials heads the rest.

Race 3
5. Shadashi made a mockery of her long price first-up at Newcastle when charging home from the back behind only the winner on a very chopped up surface. Trained here, bred to relish rain-affected going, and gets good weight relief after the jockey’s claim in a race that lacks depth. 2. Almonzo ran home okay on debut into a place in that same race as the top selection, and extra furlong is a plus, although under the odds. 3. Dashing Double is a home tracker who ran well above his long price 12 days when returning for only his second start. 6 The Iron Star drawn the fence and improving third-up, and at longer odds 7. Prefer Diamonds also third-up and trained on the track, both go in exotic plays.

Race 4
10. Cool Drinks is an emerging metropolitan three-year-old who represents terrific value in a very open race, resuming for only his second start. Did his best work late from the back on debut at Wyong in early winter, bred to relish the going, and from a draw where he can settle well back with cover, watch for him charging late. 4. Andale Andale is a well-touted country mare by All Too Hard finally making her debut off two winning trials. Significant gear changes in play, and it has been held back to find the right race. Naturally boasts plenty of ability, and already shown a real liking for wet ground at the trials. 2. My Proclaima is an improving metro mare and over the odds heading into her third start. 3. Onmalone showed great speed to lead fresh at Newcastle before folding up late, but fitter now and can give another big sight. 7. Master Of The Air is a key market watch resuming from a low draw for only his third start for the Waller-McDonald combination, and behind two improving trials. 1. Above The Law has beaten all but the winner in two on-speed runs to start his career for a leading city stable, although a market watch given this is tougher and he’s drawn wide. Include 5. The Pearls second up in wider exotic plays.
