___________________
RACE 5: 2. Proved (NZ) (2)
Trainer:E.Jusufovic - Jockey:C.Hefel - Weight: 59kg
Progressive mare chasing a hat-trick after two dominant wins to kick off the prep.
Sat wide and sprinted sharply fresh, then controlled a small field and kicked away second-up.
Fitter now, well placed in this grade, and looks ready to go on with it.
Hard to beat.

RACE 6: 3. Actuality (6)
Trainer:P.G.Moody & K.Coleman - Jockey:B.Shinn - Weight: 60kg
Overraced badly in stakes grade two back before a plain effort last start when 5th over 1200m at Pakenham.
Hard fit now and steps back up in trip, which suits, but needs to find a few lengths to threaten here.
Part of the Ladbrokes Racing Club - you'd expect her to be on her best behaviour…

RACE 7: 10. Olney (4)
Trainer:G.Eurell - Jockey:L.J.Bates - Weight: 58.5kg
Resuming off a jumpout third, and was a solid first-up second at Mornington last prep.
Broke maiden over 1950m before the spell, so may find this trip too sharp.
Watch for later over further.
Each Way knockout chance…

RACE 8: 5. King Zephyr (5)
Trainer:G.M.Begg - Jockey:J.Childs - Weight: 61kg
Dominant winner first-up at Pakenham when coming from last, then too strong again second-up here over 1300m.
Third-up and hard fit, drawn to get every chance.
Progressive gelding with a turn of foot – clearly the one to beat.

RACE 5: 9. Smiling Prophet (5)
Trainer:M.S.Minervini - Jockey:W.Stanley - Weight: 57.5kg
Closed off well from the rear two back at Randwick, then not far away again last time in a Rosehill Midway.
Drops nicely in weight with the 3kg claim.
Draws to get a soft run and won’t be far away late.
Each-way all day!

RACE 6: 2. Ballroom Bella (7)
Trainer:G.Ryan & S.Alexiou - Jockey:B.Nock - Weight: 61.5kg
Resumes off two quiet Rosehill trials and does go well fresh.
Form last prep solid enough in stakes grade, including a close-up effort in the G3 Nivison.
Draws wide, which makes things tricky, but has the class to feature.

RACE 7: 3. Peace Officer (NZ) (8)
Trainer:C.E.Conners - Jockey:B.Osmond - Weight: 61kg
Improved nicely second-up when finishing 3rd at Warwick Farm over 1400m on a slow track.
That followed a plain return behind Step Aside first-up.
Third-up today and fitter, though the wide draw is a query.
With a 3kg claim and the right run, can be in the finish.

RACE 8: 6. Atelier (2)
Trainer:Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald - Jockey:J.Collett - Weight: 57kg
Held ground gamely last start when 5th in the Listed Canberra Guineas over 1400m.
Prior run was a narrow second in a Rosehill BM72 on a slow track, showing good fight.
Drawn to get the right run and racing consistently.
Hard to knock and right in the mix.
