RACE EIGHT, RATED 90+ (G3), 1,600 METRES
Eyshal was a bit disappointing in his barrier trial last week but his final gallop with stablemate Viva Macau was right up there with his best gallops. Jackpot Delight has done a lot more work since his last run and is moving much better, so expect a significantly improved run from this smart galloper. Bullish Cash is a specialist at this trip and has been knocking on the door of late - he's had a full complement of gallops. Best Friend had a nice turf trial at Happy Valley and then a pleasing final galloper over 1,200m (final 400m 22.9) on Friday. Jamesina has been going well all season and, although he's a sparingly made gelding, he holds his form well.
RACE NINE, RATED Terms (G1), 2,000 METRES
Collection's final gallop was an excellent piece of work and he's a worthy favourite. Thumbs up has been a significant improver, with a strong 1,200m trial and two subsequent gallops. Unique Jewellery has had a quiet trial and a number of gallops that have the Derby Trial winner ready to repeat. Roma Pegasus has had a full prep that's included a 1,600m turf trial, in which he finished a close-up sixth and well on the bridle. Legend Of Colour came from last in that trial for a good fourth and he has one of the best turns of finishing speed.
