Four-time winner will be hard to reel in if he is left alone up front

GO WITH TURQUOISE VELOCITY

RACE 1 (1,200M)

1 Jedi Spurs announced himself with a smart debut win, and both the time and margin suggested he has plenty more to come. He rises to 1,200m from barrier 1, should be able to follow the rails and can take care of this lot with ease.

9 Quantum Wukong will appreciate getting back to 1,200m. He was after a fast-finishing fourth on debut in the trip before dropping to 1,000m and running third to Jedi Spurs.

2 Almighty Warrior draws well in barrier 2 for a sweet run and has trialled well since his improved second-up second.

3 Chancheng Sparkle also took a step forward second-up when runner-up to Jedi Spurs and remains open to further improvement.

RACE 2 (1,200M)

5 Verbier gets the race set up for him. He maps to lead softly from barrier 1 on the on-pace favoured C+3 course, and backs up quickly after winning easily seven days ago. He can take them all the way again.

2 Peridot is the class-dropper to respect, but barrier 12 leaves him with work to do and likely needing to chase from the back.

4 Vigor Elleegant is another downgrader with a case, back in Class 5, where he is one from one. His last run had excuses after he raced wide throughout.

7 Blue Baron has not been with Brett Crawford long, but he has trialled okay since his latest run. There is scope for him to improve.

RACE 3 (1,200M)

1 Daily Trophy is easy to make a case for back in Class 5, where his record is strong, and he returns to the track and trip that bring out his best. Barrier 1 only adds to the appeal.

6 Cirrus Speed comes into this fresh and has shown good improvement in recent trials. His recent race runs have come with little luck, but this looks a chance for him to show something.

12 Viva Chaleur led too quickly on turf last start and was on tired legs late. Back on this track and trip, with quieter tactics likely, he can be given another chance.
