RACE 6 (10) BALLET SUITE: Very strong filly who will relish getting to 2400m for the first time in her career. She has had a perfectly measured prep for the Oaks, coming through the grades with successive wins at 1400m and 1600m before she finished off in great style for fourth in the G1 Vinery Stakes at her first start over 2000m. No doubt the Vinery is the best reference for this Oaks and she has the right pedigree to get the classic trip. Great value.

RACE 8 (6) HARTNELL: We get the best Sydney Cup field for some time but how can you go past this high class import on the form he has produced in his three Australian starts? He has improved his figures in every start and could not have been more impressive in The BMW when he showed a great turn of foot to run away from the crack Japanese stayer To The World at the end of 2400m. He’s a proven winner over 3200m in the UK and it’s impossible to oppose a last start G1 winner at WFA dropping 5.5kg to minimum weight of 52kg on his favoured soft ground.

RACE 10 (6) SHAMALIA: Produced a super turn of foot to sprint past the classy pair Mossfun and Ygritte for an impressive first-up Group 3 win over 1200m at Rosehill on March 21. That form has been franked by the subsequent Gosford Guineas win of Ygritte and supports the view that the Cummings stable has got this talented mare back to the exciting form she displayed early in her career. Hugh Bowman sticks and it will take a good mare to hold her out if she makes the expected improvement from her first-up win.
