WARWICK FARM: RACE 2

Napoleonic (6) met with solid support and justified the confidence with an effortless maiden win first-up over this distance at Wyong. Improved sharply second-up in the maiden prep so if he shows similar progress here another win is on the cards. 

SANDOWN: RACE 7

Keen to see Observer (10) return for his second campaign. Now with the Maher yard, he was a dominant winner at start two and while disappointing before a spell at Flemington, he's got ability and plenty of scope to improve this time around. 

EAGLE FARM: RACE 3

Gollan-trained Some Style (7) led and missed a whisker heavily bet at Doomben and then jumped even shorter at Ipswich, beaten 1L when having to work early. Has a jockey switch with Ben Thompson reunited, and she's clearly the one they have to beat. 

BELMONT: RACE 4

Brave Wasp (7) trialled impressively and ran up to that effort when well backed in Saturday grade 11 days ago, beaten just 0.3L. Back to a midweek maiden now and he has the adaptability to be forward in the run or settle back. Looks a nice type who can knock over the maiden now. 

BALAKLAVA: RACE 3

Oakley Miss (13) looks a standout here after a solid first-up run behind her stablemate. She was placed in Stakes company second-up last campaign and the winner has subsequently won at G3 level. She is fitter and might be able to settle a bit closer in the run this time. A firmer track is probably in her favour too.
