Race 1: Midway Handicap BM72 (1200m)

The opening race is a nightmare to dissect, with online bookmakers unable to separate the majority of the 16 runners engaged. Mayrose appears a good each-way throw at the stumps, however, as she gets set to resume from a 136-day spell. The daughter of Pride Of Dubai may want the rain to come to be a leading hope in a race like this, but with her winning barrier trial effort at Randwick on February 2 raising the eyebrows, she can produce a bold performance first-up for the John Sargent barn.

Race 2: BM78 Handicap (1900m)

Circle Of Fire holds a nomination for the Group 1 Sydney Cup (3200m) later in the autumn and needs to be competitive in a race like this to justify heading that way. The European import was only warming up late in his first Australian start for the Ciaron Maher stable at Flemington on February 17, finding the 1600m too sharp as the son of Almanzor worked his way through the wire. He challenged some quality opposition before heading down under, and although the stable have bigger targets in mind moving forward, there is no reason Circle Of Fire can’t take out this BM78 along the way.

Race 3: Group 3 Magic Night Stakes (1200m)

The Group 3 Magic Night Stakes (1200m) gets the two-year-old features underway, and this one is for the fillies. Fly Fly has strong claims after an impressive runner-up defeat at the hands of Manaal in the Group 2 Sweet Embrace Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on March 2. She was storming through the line despite getting well-back from stall 11 on that occasion, and with Jason Collett likely to sit much closer from barrier five on Saturday, the team Hawkes-trained filly should give a strong account of herself and hit the line best in the Magic Night Stakes.

Race 4: Group 3 Pago Pago Stakes (1200m)

It’s the boys turn to step out in the Group 3 Pago Pago Stakes (1200m), where the James Cummings-trained Parkour warrants plenty of respect. He was a dominant winner at Randwick on December 30 before being tipped out for a spell, and despite what the 4.8-length margin may suggest about his first-up return, it was much better than it reads. The blinkers have been applied for the first time to keep the son of Extreme Choice’s mind on the job, and with barrier two allowing Parkour to take a more prominent role throughout, watch for this guy to be finishing off best at odds.

Race 5: Group 3 Sky High Stakes (2000m)

Lindermann must be considered one of the better bets of the Rosehill program as he returns to his favoured circuit for the first time since saluting in the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) almost a year ago. The gelding by Lonhro brings the best form to this event after finding the minor money second-up in the Group 1 Verry Elleegant Stakes (1600m) last start. Provided the Chris Waller-trained galloper continues to improve as the campaign goes on, James McDonald should be striding clear aboard Lindermann in the Sky High Stakes.

Race 6: Group 3 Maurice McCarten Stakes (1100m)

Red Card showed versatility to score first-up at this course and distance on February 24, taking a sit in behind the speed before fending off all challengers. It was a change from her usual just and lead tactics she has utilized throughout most of her career and should allow Adam Hyeronimus to take any given option that falls his way from stall one on Saturday. She won a tick-over trial heading into this event, and although some key opposition do get a swing on her in the weights, Red Card can still be right in the finish again.

Race 7: Group 2 Phar Lap Stakes (1500m)

Saltcoats is yet to win after three Australian starts under the Chris Waller banner, however, the gelding appears close to a victory. He was bolting through the wire first-up at this course on February 3, but gave a significant fitness edge Infatuation and was unable to reel in the already winning break. The son of Androssan has been sent back to the trials to keep him up to the mark heading into this second-up target, and with the team happy to send him to a testing Group 3 Phar Lap Stakes (1500m), punters should be taking the lead that Saltcoats is up to this challenge.

Race 8: Group 1 Coolmore Classic (1500m)

The fillies & mares take centre stage in the Group 1 Coolmore Classic (1500m), where a competitive field of 18 are set to take their place in the $1 million feature. The Chris Waller-trained Zougotcha has held firm favourtism for the event post-barrier draw and hasn’t budged from the $4.00 quote with horse racing betting sites. Tropical Squall has been a slight drifter out to $7.50, and the same can be said for the Ciaron Maher-trained Semana. The big market mover comes in the form of three-year-old filly Kimochi opening $15.00 and has almost halved in price at $8.00. Will the older horses prove too good? Or can a lightly weighted younger horse cause a minor upset?

Race 9: Group 2 Ajax Stakes (1500m)

Although he was only winning a BM88 last start at Randwick on January 27, Glory Daze did it nicely under top weight. He was forced to lug 61kg to victory and did it with ease under Nash Rawiller, putting together his third win across six starts since arriving to the Ciaron Maher stable from the UK. The 1500m is arguably well-short of his best trip moving forward, but with no weight on his back, Glory Daze might just have the class to put them away again, this time securing stakes success for the first time in Australia.

Race 10: BM88 Handicap (1400m)

Tavi Time might just be far superior to this lot. He is a star on the rise for the Kris Lees camp, and with a four-length demolition job at Newcastle on March 2, the son of Tavistock couldn’t have been more impressive on resumption. He is a six-time winner heading into start 10, and provided he gets out when the whips are cracking, win number seven should be all but assured.
