Summer racing begins to kick into effect now with some lead ups to the features around Christmas time.
A horse called Diamond Tycoon made lovely progression in her first campaign from the provincials to the city.
She then won well here before failing when it appeared she got her tongue caught.
Trialling close up in preparation for this, she now runs against mares compared to all her previous outings.
From the gate she will drift back and come with a late run.
Over to the last where Over And Above resumes for Philip Stokes over the 1000m.
This four year old gelding is well bred and had good Victorian form lines.
He always shows speed in his races which is perfect for him to use an inside barrier to advantage.
Well placed off a trial win, he must be hard to beat.
