Race 4 – 2.05pm: PLAT SUPER MAIDEN (1100m)
Based in Randwick 4. Selection legend has a very light race after an eight month period but looks like a good starting point for a mare with enough natural ability. Placed in a one-off metro Super Maiden race last spring before being finished, but marked a great return with two progressive trials, the latter strong across the line to a place over 1050m .
Dangers: Likewise, Godolphin filly 5. Luggage he also has a lot of ability to come back from two tests and was only out of place once in five races in the last preparation. Great watch of the two-year-old colt I Am Invincible 10. Brave heart on debut for Snowden's stable after two recent trials, winning the last, and drawn for a useful run. He was removed from Warwick Farm on Wednesday to be kept for this. Market watch also in two-year-old Brazen Beau 11. Glow dark in the debut for the Ryan-Alexiou yard of two improvement tests; while another first two-year starter 12. True love from John O'Shea's yard won the second of two tests, and drew to complete a good run.
How to play it: Choice legend in every sense.
Race 5 – 2.40pm: CLASS 1 HCP (1100m)
The same trip here for the lower-class improvers, and with little separation from the main contenders, is better for the likely leader.r 1. Eye Of Fire draw from the inside. He played away to win on debut at the Beaumont track before going down twice in the closing stages as the heavily backed favourite. Ready to forgive, he crucially comes back a furlong away, and draws to take control of the race again.
Dangers: honest mare 5. Betsy Flag of course the next best behind on firmer ground fourth above; while 4. Zambezi River has beaten the odds despite facing a much stronger field after a smart countrywoman won in third place. Gap to the rest.
How to play it: Eye Of The Fire to win.
Race 6 – 3.15pm: CLASS 1 HCP (1300m)

No progressive foal reason 2. Snatchreilly you cannot achieve consecutive class wins 19 days between races. It was $3.80 to $2.70 when won by just half a length at this track which was resumed before a dominant barrier-to-box win at Newcastle. He has good section speed, and even fitter now, he can roll forward and regain control of proceedings.
Dangers: Respect for 1. Tannenburg second from a strong closing return in a tougher grade at Newcastle, and another who was favored here at Wednesday's Warwick Farm meeting. Gap to the rest headed by 5. Das Capital who ran way above himself when he won by only a long neck in a provincial BM 68 after a seven-week break; while both subway colts 8. Inquisitive legend third above; and strong finisher 9. Mount Maximus who dares to cover himself with flashes that replace the blinkers; can figure in the money.
How to play it: Snatchreilly to win.
Race 7 – 3.50 pm: MIDDLE CLASS 1 HCP (1600m)
A significant increase in distance to the mile in third place is the catalyst for the talented and still improving filly 2. Watch My Girl for a second career victory in his seventh start. He wasn't far on a BM 64 at Gosford before enjoying the bigger track at Kembla when he charged late and unfortunately missed out on a nose. Bred to go much further, this is shaping up to be the peak time for a galloper who will continue to improve with longer trips.
Dangers: Carry 1. Attend It was a close up on a much deeper metro BM 72 that runs on very heavy ground and should be a serious threat in this class with firmer feet, although still a shade below the odds of a complicated tie. Gap to the rest headed by 6. Twin Turbo which has been refreshed by means of a practical test; while including 5. Sizzler who draws the fence; i 7. Outcast girl charging the third place with a dominant and fast victory of fillies and mares; in trifecta and first four.
How to play it: Watch My Girl to win.
Race 8 – 4.25 pm: BENCHMARK 64 HCP (2100m)
Hard to keep the battle to finish. Progressive and underrated 10. Magi he trains on the track and is itching for that longer trip after charging home from behind at the Kensington track just eight days ago. Very well placed now with the early favorite at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.
Dangers: Keep improving safely 5. Imezaaki third over more ground; while 1. Just Go Bang who is tough in form and shooting for three in a row; i 4. Let's go Queen deep in its preparation; heads the rest.
How to play it: O'ziggy to win.
