- Tempo will be key to the overall outcome of races.
Race 2
Good race this. Not a whole lot of speed now with key scratchings. Happy to side with the Michael Freedman-trained PAZYRYK, smart debut SP in a good race, back-to-back quiet but solid trials and maps a treat. I do respect the Baker-trained EXTRAGLOW, who has looked good at the trials, but $2.20 is short. MEDITERRA and SACROSANCT round out the numbers from smart draws but need to find improvement.
(10) Pazyryk
(6) Extraglow
(9) Mediterra
(12) Sacrosanct
Suggested bet: Pazyryk (Win)
Race 7
Keen to bet into this race. Loved the fresh run and last-start win of the progressive ATTRACTIVENESS. She stays at 1200m, which is key, and also maps ideally. Her two main dangers, TRAFALGAR SQUARE and NULLARBOR JANE, both look unsuited at 1200m, which only adds confidence. Outside of that, CORDINA is next best.

(14) Cordina
Suggested bet: Attractiveness (Win)
