Race 3 @ 6.19pm - #11 The Surfer
He's derived plenty of benefit from his first outing and on exposed form slides in well. He'd have to be a lovely each way contender.
Race 6 @ 7.52pm - #5 Denny
I thought he hit the line great fresh up. There are a couple of 6 race winners in here however, I do expect him to give a very tidy account of himself.
Race 7 @ 8.22pm - #7 Pacing Hope & #9 Mr President
While Pacing Hope has a wide barrier draw, it is her pet distance. I'm sure with any sort of luck she'll be running on.
I'm really happy with Mr President. His workout behind Le Major was super. If he can find his way off the marker pegs he's a winning hope.
Race 9 @ 9.12pm - #5 Keep It Klassy & #6 Tequila Sunirse
I've made a couple of minor gear alterations with Keep It Klassy so we're hoping it might help her get away. Let's pray.
Tequila Sunrise may have looked disappointing last start, but she did plenty of work early and had to face up against the 1 winners. If she gets away on even terms she can feature in it.

Race 5 @ 7.09pm - #4 Le Major
Well the big day has nearly arrived and I can't fault this bloke. He's had a perfect preparation going into the race and now lands a perfect draw. Fingers crossed it's the blue army from the North that takes centre stage.
Race 6 @ 7.39pm - #2 Kango
We've put our Australian campaign behind us and are focusing on finding his form of old. He gets a nice start on his rivals so I'm hoping he can step and land handy. It's always tough against open class horses, but if he runs an improvers race I'll be happy.
Race 8 @ 8.36 pm - #7 Jolimont
It's a great field of 3 year old pacers but this horse deserves his place in the race. While it's a tricky draw, we have the right man in the bike to take care of that. With luck on his side he'll be competitive.
Melton - 14 October 2023
Race 4 @ 9.33pm - #12 Virginia Clowers
It was a good effort to pick up her second Australian victory last week. It's a top class field so she'll need everything in her favour. Hopefully it all goes right and she gets her chance.
