R1 - tips 5-2/4. Stratazoa and Comic Hero to fight for the lead. Shock Value's first attempt at 1400m but he should get a gun run from Brown and then hope the gaps open up, unlike last week. Comic Hero on old form as a loose leader would be dangerous.

R3 - tips 1-2. leaders Legend Express/Acute Brute/Hawkeye Mort. Doyoudare will get a sit behind the speed, unlike last week when led a very slow pace and battled the placings with Tarzi. Apprentice Yuill rides ok. Lay Money Exchange.

R4 - roughie 7 in Exotics. leaders Destino/Kim Currency and possibly Moccasin Bend to go forward. The two favorites(5&6) have limitations and a couple of others with queries, so at a good price($21) Demands Attention is worth putting in Exotics. Prefers Belmont, but at 3rd run from spell can figure in the placings.

R5 - tips 1-8. leaders Romida-Zed Magic-Wizards Point. If Sacred Crown(apprentice Damian Lane replaces injured Noske) can find a good spot early then it'll finish fast.
The form line of Valoura received a dent during the week when Peach Tree was a disappointing 3rd but it is still untapped(wide last time as Jake pointed out) and a definite chance with Pike aboard. Don'trocktheboat is the query runner. Lay Fromm.

R6 - tip 1. No depth in the Melvista. Heavy backing for Brother Mak which meets God Has Spoken 3.5kg better for a 1.5 lengths defeat from their last start. By Zabeel the 2200m might be what it needs as well. But I'm sticking with the toppie as he's classy and the distance should also suit. Zentrate has been disappointing but from barrier 1(again) could sneak a place.
