Race 5
5. Fudge ran second at Queanbeyan three starts ago and was back to her best when winning at the Sapphire Coast at her latest start. She’s drawn the inside gate here. 7. Trianon wasn’t beaten far at Nowra last weekend despite finishing seventh, and he has strong claims in this. 1. Marks Icon was back to his best when winning at Canberra at his last start and a repeat of that would have him figuring here. 3. Pretty Eyed was down the track at Canberra at her latest start but is capable of improving here.

Race 6
4. Mega Fight struggles to win but has managed to figure in the placings in eight of his 16 starts. He comes into this on the back of a last start fourth at Kemble Grange and gets another chance to break through here. 10. Queen Of Drama led them up at Newcastle when finishing second at her latest start and a repeat would have her in the finish of this. 9. Iconic Miss was placed two starts ago at the Sapphire Coast then ran fifth at Newcastle. She can be placed again here. 11. Spurline has been placed in her latest two runs and could figure in the minor money again.

Race 7
1. Ken’ker fought on strongly to score a win at Goulburn two starts ago when accounting for Perfumist which has since gone on to win two in a row. Ken’ker then ran second at Nowra last weekend. He’s drawn wide here but is racing well. 9. Our Cosmic Belle hasn’t been too far away at her latest two starts and can figure in this if she’s at her best. 7. Golden Fairy won at Nowra two starts ago then ran fourth at Canberra last time out. She can make an impact again here. 5. Capicella wasn’t far away at Newcastle when last produced and has place claims.

Race 8
1. Capital Heart has only won the once from 20 starts, but has a further seven placings to his name and has shown his share of ability in his career. He has been taking on Highway grade of late and although rising in weight he will appreciate racing against easier company. 2. Airliner will also find this easier than the Highway events he’s been contesting either side of a spell and he should run well. 3. Galston Gorge was a winner at Queanbeyan three starts ago and then ran fourth at Wagga before a third at Gundagai. 7. Ludovica has been behind the placings in three runs back from a spell but can improve here.
