8. Miss Freelove has come from left field into this listed race but she might have struck it at the right time. Carried 59.5kg and rounded them up from last to win second-up at Warwick Farm against older horses this month. Can\u2019t see 1200m being an issue, she\u2019s drawn well and if that explosive dash can be repeated, she\u2019ll be right in the finish. 1. Memo is a good measuring stick with her group form looking stronger than most here. Unlucky not to win at Moonee Valley second-up, she\u2019s trialled well since then and can certainly win. 2. Grand Eagle didn\u2019t get a fair shot at them at the right time in the Roman Consul two weeks ago and worked home nicely once again. The return to Randwick might be the big plus and he gets another chance. 7. Skyglider is a big watch. He hasn\u2019t raced since leading all the way on debut to beat Sixties and Estremo, which looks pretty good form now. He\u2019s drawn to take up a position again and wouldn\u2019t be discounting him.

Race 6 – 3:20PM CINCOTTA CHEMIST CRAVEN PLATE (1800m)<\/p>\n
1. Lindermann picks himself and looks to get the control that will make him very hard to run down again. Made light work of the wide gate when winning the Hill Stakes two weeks ago and splitting Fangirl and Ceolwulf prior to that is reading quite well when looking at his rivals. You know what you get from him and that\u2019ll be a huge sight. 4. Militarize hit the line when the Hill Stakes was all over as he ran into fifth there. The smaller field might be in his favour, he won\u2019t be giving away so much start and this looks his best chance in some time to put himself in the finish. 3. Kovalica has a similar form line and his run was also excellent, as he just missed third. Doesn\u2019t have the dash of the favourite but sure to run well. 7. El Castello has the chance to run up to his excellent first-up effort as he comes back in grade from tackling the Epsom and King Charles III.

Race 7 – 3:55PM CATANACH\u2019S JEWELLERS CALLANDER-PRESNELL (1600m)<\/p>\n
Happy to stick with 3. Farnicle who, while beaten as favourite, was brave in the Tapp Craig second-up from a spell after chasing the leader behind a solid tempo. That leader knocked up to run last and was left a sitting shot. This race has been his target, he\u2019ll be peaking third-up and shouldn\u2019t have any excuses from an ideal draw. Big chance to atone. 1. Rivellino comes back in class after contesting the Golden Rose and Caulfield Guineas. His run in the latter was fine, and you just have to wonder where he\u2019s at. Is he not quite the top class this spring or is he just below his best? We\u2019ll find out here, his best is obviously good enough. 2. Ohope has done a great job this preparation, winning a maiden in August and continuing to improve with each run culminating in his Tapp Craig win from off the speed. Hard to fault and a definite chance. 4. Ruination has had the run at the mile where he was the best of the chasers behind Attica in the Dulcify three weeks ago. That form should hold up and he should run well again.

Race 8 – 4:30PM MOET & CHANDON SPRING CHAMPION STAKES (2000m)<\/p>\n
Luck and smart, or daring, rides are going to decide this race. Lean to 1. Attica, despite a wide gate. He enjoyed a fast tempo as he swept home to win the Dulcify easily over the mile on October 4. Cruised in a tick-over trial since then. It\u2019ll be interesting to see how Adam Hyeronimus approaches this but, if he gets even luck, the horse looks more than good enough to win. 11. Within The Law will need similar favours from the outside gate but brings real group 1 form into this race. Solid in the Flight behind Apocalyptic and wasn\u2019t disgraced at weight-for-age in the King Charles III. Expect she\u2019ll be ridden cold. She can be hard to hold out if they are running on. 2. Shangri La Boy was a runaway winner of the Gloaming after leading throughout at Rosehill two weeks ago. He\u2019ll bounce right on the speed again and that\u2019s his advantage in this race. If he\u2019s getting favours up front, he\u2019ll be hard to run down. 12. Queen Of Clubs can\u2019t be overlooked. She had cardiac arrhythmia in the Flight Stakes, so that run can be overlooked. Previous run showed she was on target to do something and the trip looks up her alley. Each-way.

Race 9 – 5:15PM THE INVITATION (1400m)<\/p>\n
2. Manaal has everything laid out to suit her again after wins in the Sheraco and Golden Pendant against similar opposition. Well suited under set weights and penalties against the majority of this field, she\u2019s drawn to get the same sort of run right at her peak. The horse to beat. 1. Stefi Magnetica is the best horse in the race but she\u2019s coming off a setback since she ran fourth in the Sheraco at her first run back. She\u2019s giving away race fitness and tends to peak third and fourth up in her preps. Have to respect her, though, in a good race for her. 7. Monte Supreme is flying this time in and wins the Nivison in one more stride at Rosehill two weeks ago. First run at 1400m since changing stables and there looks to be a good enough tempo early to bring her into the race. Definite chance. 3. Miss Roumbini is a last-start group 1 placegetter in Melbourne and also had a setback since that race, she was due to run in the Alan Brown but missed it with a minor issue. The form around her is solid, though, and she\u2019s one of the main chances.

Race 10 – 5:55PM FIVE DIAMONDS PRELUDE (1500m)<\/p>\n
5. General Salute is bursting to win and he\u2019ll need a similar good early ride to the one Tim Clark gave him in the Alan Brown. Unfortunately, he ran out of luck in the straight, held in by the winner until it was all over, but he picked up nicely to run into third. He has excellent form around him, chased Autumn Glow home two starts back, and is racing as though the trip won\u2019t worry him. If he gets last call, he\u2019ll be hard to hold out. 8. Rise At Dawn started favourite in the Shannon and led before being outsprinted by Waterford in the run home. Held on nicely for second. There were suggestions he didn\u2019t go fast enough in front, so it\u2019ll be interesting to see if he rolls more here. Has a nice weight turnaround on the favourite, too. Go well. 1. Transatlantic is a last-start group 1 winner of the Toorak Handicap. He\u2019s built a handy record, draws well and while up 3kg on his win he has to be competitive in this field. 3. Encap gets back and runs on when it\u2019s all too late, but ran a nice fourth in the Shannon and only beaten four lengths in the Epsom. A strong tempo would be in his favour and he\u2019s the type that could knock you out.
