F: 5L601B(9)W(59.5)
( J-Gosen Jogoo )
( T-Ebony Turner )
Showed an appetite for the Heavy stuff two days ago, winning decisively by over five lengths. No reason why it can't go back to back if it brings that form today

F: 60624B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )

Only beaten just over a length by a good prospect in Pogacar on the synthetic at Riccarton a week ago. That could prove to be good form

Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 20524B(12)W(58.5)
( J-Roopesh Jaun )
( T-Ebony Turner )
A fifteen start maiden, it has been runner up six times. A good horse but just can't get itself over the line and that looks the case here again today, with a wide draw to overcome

2 Unleash The Beast
F: 23710B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Tanya Jonker )
( T-Kenny Moore )
Won its first start over middle distance in March, in only its fourth run, by over six lengths! Given a short break then, it resumed on Friday with a 'sharpener' over 1600m and with the step back up to 2200m here again, and Tina taking the reins, rates as our Day's Best
Main Danger
9 Arctic Ocean
Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 74186B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Nichola Yuen )
( T-Maurice Forde )
On its last start performance, its clearly a big danger. Won its maiden three back and connections then dropped it in the deep end of the Listed Warstep Stakes. Despite starting at $128, it was only just 5 1/2 lengths away

8 Ominous
F: 30209B(4)W(56.5)

Dividend : $2.80
Place
F: 42366B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Jo-Anne Dalton )
We'll continue to stick with this 5yo because she's a very honest mare and would have won more but for getting back in races in previous seasons. The 2200m should see her overcome that

3 Tellme You Loveme
F: X8001B(3)W(58.5)

We picked this one out on Friday, suggesting it was on the up in its previous start. Duly won with a bit in hand and we think its the EW value in this race

7 Radiant Reach
F: 337X2B(9)W(56.5)
