RACE 5: (1) IMPENDING: Ready to peak and break out of the shadow of his high class stablemate Astern after fine placings behind that colt at his last two starts at this track in the best 3YO form races of the season. Gets a significant gear change with the addition of blinkers and counting on his rider Josh Parr to make full use of his tactical speed in this small field.

RACE 6 (1) PRIZED ICON: Any number of reasons to dismiss his second up failure behind Hartnell on a heavy track in the Chelmsford Stakes at Randwick. This time he gets a big riding switch to Blake Shinn, the right gear change with the blinkers coming off and the benefit of an impressive trial third at Randwick on Tuesday when he settled quietly and found the line like the good horse we saw win the G1 Champagne Stakes in the autumn. Expect him to regain that form here as he is perfectly placed returning to his own age at level weights.

RACE 7 (5) HEAVENS ABOVE: Got her overdue first Rosehill win last time with a hard finish in the G3 Sheraco over 1200m after four previous placings at this track. She’s missed a place just three times in her 16 starts and ticks al the right boxes here including her 100 percent in the money record over this trip, her fitness edge coming into this third up, an ideal draw to enjoy a soft run on the back of the speed and the right G1 form as she rates to win on her fine second to Azakedellia in the Queen of the Turf in the autumn
