Race 1: Next Generations Sprinters Series Final (1200m)

Despite I Found You being priced at an extremely short quote, it is hard to ignore the form of Golden Warrior from the Anthony & Sam Freedman barn. The two-year-old colt has compiled consecutive victories, including a smart all-the-way victory over 1400m at Sandown. John Allen will have him close to the lead throughout, and if he can run this at a genuine clip, Golden Warrior will take some running down in the opener.

Race 2: Banjo Paterson Series Final (2600m)

Born A King turned his form around in dominant fashion when scoring over 2540m at Flemington on June 22. Having struggled in his first three runs this campaign at trips short of his best, as he stepped out in trip, the son of Frankel showed his staying abilities in fine fashion. With the likes of Berkshire Breeze and Speranzoso set to make this a genuinely run affair, it sets up perfectly for a dour stayer like Born A King to finish over the top of his rivals.

Race 3: Silver Bowl Series Final (1600m)

Craig is without a doubt the best horse in the Silver Bowl Series Final. He was a good thing beaten two runs back at this track and trip, but he made amends when turning the tables on Rise At Dawn at this course and distance on June 22. He goes up 3kg from that win, but from barrier seven and with an economical run in transit expected, Craig will have no issues in building through his gears and powering away to victory once more.

Race 4: Listed Taj Rossi Series Final (1600m)

Sneaky Sunrise was a determined Flemington 1420m victor on June 22 over key rival Pisces. The two-year-old filly was forced to travel three wide with no cover for most of the trip, and despite looking vulnerable inside the final 100m, the progeny of The Autumn Sun held on by a long neck. From barrier 10, Daniel Stackhouse will look for cover around midfield, and if Sneaky Sunrise gets a tow into the race, she will have every chance to salute at Listed level at start five.

Race 5: Leilani Series Final (1400m)

In what shapes as an open contest, Brazen Lady looks like great value against a similar bunch to what she disposed of on June 22 at this track and trip. The four-year-old mare is yet to miss the top three from three attempts at Flemington. From barrier seven, Damian Lane will look to have her handy to the speed, and with a similar turn of foot to what she produced last time out, Brazen Lady should prove too tough to hold out.

Race 6: Mahogany Challenge Final (2500m)

Piggyback was a smart Randwick winner on June 8 on a heavy deck. Having sprinted sharply in trying conditions over 2000m, the Trapeze Artist filly showed more than enough to indicate the rise to 2500m will be no issue for her. With the ability to handle wet tracks, and with just 54.5kg in the saddle, Piggyback will stalk the speed from barrier two and should prove to be the superior stayer.

Race 7: Listed Santa Ana Lane Sprint Series Final (1200m)

Press Down could not have been any more impressive when disposing of his rivals in the Golden Topaz at Swan Hill on June 7. He put four lengths on It’sourtime, who he meets again in Listed company on Saturday, and looks poised to stalk a genuine speed throughout the six furlongs. When asked to quicken under Neil Farley, Press Down should have no issue in sprinting past his rivals once again.

Race 8: Listed Winter Championship Series Final (1600m)

King Magnus looks perfectly weighted as he looks to turn the tables on Munhamek, who beat him by half a length when they clashed at this track an trip on June 22. He gets a 2.5kg advantage on his key rivals, and from barrier seven, he is drawn to gain a beautiful run in transit alongside the favourite. King Magnus is a Soft-track specialist (13: 6-3-0), and with a similar performance to what he put forward last time out, he looks a great play at an each-way price with horse racing betting sites.

Race 9: Listed Creswick Sprint Series Final (1200m)

Pharari has destroyed her rivals at Cranbourne and then Ballarat by a combined 13.8 lengths in her two starts this campaign. First-up, she put eight lengths on her nearest challenger when leading throughout, before putting 5.8 lengths on Stokke when eased up late. This is obviously a massive step up in grade, but in what looks to be a weak Listed affair, Pharari will not need to improve much to be waltzing away with another victory.
