All the stars are aligned for Olivia's Way

RACE 1 (1,400M) (1) MONKEY PUZZLE has found one too good in his Highveld appearances over sprint distances.

- 

But he has proven himself effective over this extended trip, so he will likely play a leading role from a favourable inside gate.

(4) CARNARVON has the form and experience to fight out the finish.

South American import (7) COVER is a newcomer to note.

(10) SPACE MISSION is unexposed but has shown enough to be competitive.

RACE 2 (1,400M)

It will probably take a good one to deny (5) ANAHITA, whose debut third has been boosted by two subsequent winners from that race.

(2) WAR TALK caught the eye on her reappearance over 1,450m in September when she stayed on from the rear of the field. She would have tightened up since.

(10) PALACE SCRIPT fits a similar profile, but has the widest draw to negotiate.

(7) GRACE'S KISS also warrants respect.

RACE 3 (1,600M)
