10. Alabama Fox was probably just half a run short when she was overcome by Amplify at 1400m two weeks ago. She was off a two-month break and made her move before the turn, hitting the front early. Has to be better for it, and thereโs no real speed in this race, so with the light weight, itโs difficult to go past her. 1. Rolling Magic can race on the speed, and heโs not badly placed after the claim following his Nowra Cup win. Back 100m is ideal for him, and he has to be one of the main chances. 7. Pretty Powerful shook off a luckless previous preparation and returned with a strong win at Warwick Farm. Expect heโll hold his form, and if he can settle that little bit closer it would help his cause. 6. Alabama State is honest as they come and momentarily looked the winner before being picked up when third at Randwick two weeks ago. Has to go 1500m, but heโll run another handy race.
How to play it: Alabama Fox to win.
Race 6 โ 3.30PM 2026 INGLIS YEARLING SALES SERIES HANDICAP (1400 METRES)
2. Changing Colours ran too well when resuming not to want to follow her into a winnable race. Arguably should have won fresh at Rosehill, but the bottom line is she charged through when a gap presented and 1400m is much more up her alley. Placed in both second-up attempts, so expect sheโll run well again. 11. Cinsault was placed at her first nine starts before she finally cracked it for a maiden win. Switched stables and resumed with a tidy effort to score again at Canterbury. Up in class and distance, but drawn well, and perhaps sheโs got that winning feeling now. 1. Yes Lulu was beaten 82 lengths at her last start on December 13, but she did have cardiac arrhythmia, so the run can be forgotten. They often bounce back quickly and her previous form was consistent, so she has to be given another chance. 12. Bella Corazon was badly held up for runs when switching to the inside here last time out and the beaten margin is a bit unfair. Started favourite when beating Changing Colours before that, and while drawn out again, sheโs not to be overlooked.
How to play it: Changing Colours each way.
Race 7 โ 4.05PM PRECISE AIR HANDICAP (1200 METRES)
Sheโs better known for running multiple placings, but canโt see where 9. Dollar Magic will get a better opportunity to win another race in town. Her two runs back have been excellent against up-and-coming sprinters such as Hawker Hall and Kingโs Secret, she can make her own luck up on the speed in a race with not a lot of tempo and sheโs third up so she should be ready for 1200m. No way she runs a bad race, and she should be in the finish. 4. Goodlucktome is a big query here first up. Ran in the Eskimo Prince at this track and distance in February last year and has campaigned in Queensland since with a couple of wins in the early autumn. Not exposed in the trials and resumes in blinkers, so wary of him. 3. Cigar Flick finds the right set-up now and then, and when she does, sheโs very effective. Ran on well into fourth behind Kingโs Secret first-up and will run well again here. 2. Romeoโs Choice started big odds but was game in defeat after a wide run in the Razor Sharp behind Weeping Woman. Bit of weight off helps, and heโs more than capable.
How to play it: Dollar Magic to win.
Race 8 โ 4.45PM TAB HANDICAP (1400 METRES)
1. Cool Jakey ran too well first up not to be on the bandwagon now given his excellent second-up record and the fact he might well find some control up front. He ran some excellent sectionals when resuming behind Kingโs Secret at 1100m, the 1400m suits him and heโs going to take some beating. If there is a query, the blinkers arenโt on as yet, but he didnโt have them on fresh either. 9. Sunshineinmypocket was far from disgraced when switching states and finishing midfield behind Know Thyself in a stronger race. Run probably better than it looked as not much made a lot of ground in that event. 7. Step Aside ran a nice race fresh then somehow was a drifter in betting when scoring at 1300m two weeks ago. He has an honest record, gets down in the weights with the claim again and is sure to run well. 6. Sir Artie could be the big improver with a much better set-up than he had in the Know Thyself race last time out. Drew wide, went back and couldnโt get into it at all. Heโs an each-way chance.
How to play it: Cool Jakey to win.
Race 9 โ 5.20PM SCHWEPPES HANDICAP (1100 METRES)
5. Monte Kate has not won first up previously, but hard to miss how well she is trialling leading into this event, which looks a truly run affair. Her form was a bit mixed last time in, but happy to go with what weโve seen of her in the mornings and expect sheโll run a cheeky race. 2. Hawker Hall was beaten by a handy one when resuming, then did a good job leading all the way at Rosehill four weeks ago as a short-priced favourite. Bit of a test for him with 60kg in a race that should have a bit more pressure, but heโs promising and a definite chance. 7. Candlewick has her first run for Joe Pride, and sheโs shown enough promise in her career to date to be wary of her fresh. Past two starts were in group 3s, and before that, she was coming through the grades well. Keep safe. 3. Eye Of The Fire was a shade below par last preparation, though not entirely disgraced in four runs in Victoria. Drawn nicely and capable of running well fresh.
How to play it: Monte Kate each way.

Race 10 โ 5.55PM YARRAMAN PARK HANDICAP (2000 METRES)
9. Full Hao arrives at 2000m after an excellent effort when dropping to the mile two weeks ago on the back of a win at 1800m. Up a notch in grade, but gets a nice drop in the weights, draws nicely in the big field and difficult to see her not being on the podium. 3. Bella Montagna has been placed at this trip, and she backs up after running on late behind the placings in the Belle Of The Turf at Gosford last weekend. Just the one win to date, but chance to improve on that. 17. Deal Nโ Dash finished alongside Bella Montagna at Randwick on December 13 as he ran on from the back behind Hyperbolic. He should love getting to the 2000m now, his previous attempt was in the Tulloch on a heavy track, and if heโs going to measure up to this level, he has a good chance here. 6. รclair Encore is racing consistently without winning. Runner-up to Full Hao two runs back, then solid at Canterbury. Drops 4kg and is an each-way chance again.
How to play it: Full Hao to win.
