Race 4
LIKE A DIAMOND is 3rd up into this prep today and is down in grade from her previous two runs. Those two runs so far this prep have produced some solid form and this looks a better set up. She gets in well at the weights after a claim and maps to settle in the front half of the field.

(4) Exalted Kate
Suggested Bet – (2) Like A Diamond (Each-way)
Race 6
SANTASTICO was solid when resuming recently at Morphettville in a stronger race than what he looks to be faced with here today. Drawn barrier 2, he likely lands in a good position and the expected dry track conditions should suit.
