RACE 1
MALIBU BEACH – Failed to fire after jumping slowly away last start and never looked a chance after blowing the start. His best is good enough to score here. Pinheiro booked to steer.
SEE YAH – Drops slightly in the weights this weekend after a strong second last start coming off three good runs which have resulted in two wins. Loves this distance.
MO ALMIGHTY – Just struggling to find that winning line first at his last few starts but hasn't been too far away from the winners. Should sit nice and handy and form is strong here.
SUN PALACE – Holding his own down at this level in recent runs. Scored a handy win two runs ago and consistent form will see him play a big part in this division.
RACE 2
SILO – Brings race experience which will hold him in high regard. Gets the inside draw and Pinheiro should give him a positive ride from there.
BIG MAX – Nunes has been doing a fair bit of work including two recent trials where he been satisfactory for his debut. Perfect draw in barrier three should see him settle well.
ARTILLERY – Hasn't been seen at the trials since his win back on the 18th of April where he came out and beat stablemate Rhett Butler who has since gone on to score on debut.
LIM'S SHAVANO – Well bred son of So You Think who comes here for the powerful Meagher & Lim's stable. Just a few quiet trials but stable aren't known for testing them too hard in trials.
RACE 3
LIM'S STRAIGHT – Terribly unlucky last start over the track and distance to go down to Invincible Tycoon. Draws a little bit wide here but the last start was too good to not respect him big time here.
THUNDER STAR – Has been around the mark of late. Gets the booking of Manoel Nunes who has been with this horse the whole journey, working his way towards a win.
KICK – Draws a great gate for his return run since going down to Bestseller in January. Strong form lines heading into this race and the trials have also been quite promising, each way.
CHARMINTON – Has run second his last two starts and a win doesn't look too far off. Apprentice Fadzli Yusoff claims two kg's this weekend who has won on him in the past and arguably draws the best gate in the race, don't overlook.
RACE 4
RICH FORTUNE – Brings the best form out of any of these runners in his most recent starts so simply for that fact he will hold firm as one of the top three prospects here. Just has to repeat his last two performances to figure.
SUPERIOR COAT – Trialed up in very nice style to win his heat back on the 25th May. He now sits just one rating point higher than his last win back in April of last year. Watch any betting moves.
WEDNESDAY – Finds a very open contest this weekend. Comes into this off a fourth placing behind Rich Fortune who he faces again. His only career win has come at this course and distance. Each way play.
WINNING POWER – If he breaks cleanly from the gates, he can set a genuine tempo to suit him if he gets left alone in front. Doesn't win all that often but this type of race is well within reach.
RACE 5
TONY'S LOVE – This horse loves 2000m and was terribly unlucky last time out to go down a short margin. Rarely runs out of the top two and he is weighted to run a big race.
MARIANA TRENCH – Won at the distance and grade last time he contested it. The more ground the better for this Tivic stable runner and a top two finish wouldn't be out of the question.
REAL EFECTO – Back to class 4 this weekend and is up to a distance where he is undefeated. He is the seasoned horse in this race and experience could take him a long way.
PRIORITIZE – Super consistent runner who was beaten a half-length his last time at the distance. Proven to get the trip, don't leave out of the exotics.
RACE 6
EIGHT BALL – Gets back to class five where he scored in the past off a rating of 53 on that occasion. Should get plenty of support in the market and has great stats at this course and distance.
LIM'S ZOOM – Gets back to his winning class where he last scored in this grade back in March. Class four runs have been ticking material and he will look a live chance here.
TAKHI – Form hasn't been his best in recent starts, but they have been in tougher grades. Gets back to class five and has trialed well under Nunes in preparation for this.
SMOKE AND MIRRORS – Scored well last start coming off the back of two strong minor placings. Good form lines from his recent runs and will be around the finish.
RACE 7
CHOSEN ONE – Both career wins have been at this distance. He sits two rating points higher than his last victory and finds himself in a very open division of this race.
GAMELY – Should show the early speed to dictate the race and his last win was very brave to finish in second place. Finds it very hard to win but he is as consistent as they come.
TWO MILLION – Sat nice and handy in the run back a few weeks ago to finish third behind God's Gift. That was his best performance in his career and maybe that tactic is the key to improve.
RODA ROBOT – If he can replicate that run two starts ago behind Sun Palace that will hold him in good stead coming into this weekend. Lightly raced and has plenty of room for improvement.
RACE 8
GENERAL COMMAND – Only missed the winners spot on one occasion. This doesn't look as deep of a race as the last time he contested class 2 going down to Silent Is Gold. Will need a tad of luck from the gate but he will be the short priced favourite.
ILLUSTRIOUS – Up to class 2 after a super dominant class 3 win. Faces a slightly tougher field but draw well enough to lead.
GOLD STAR – Caught the eye big time up in class 1 last start going down by just under 2 lengths. Carries more weight here and is arguably a better horse on the turf, but one must respect his performances so far this year.
RED OCEAN – App N.Rozlan takes 4kg off again to get this horse under 50kg. Draws a great gate to sit closer to the fence, can lightning strike twice over 1100m in class 2 for this horse?
RACE 9
LION SPIRIT – Strong win last start after being held up for a good chunk of the straight. Strikes a similar race with a little more weight and a tougher gate. Confidence from that last win should be high, good chance to do it all again.
TIGAROUS – Still looking for that class 5 win since returning to the grade. The wide draw is a slight concern but he is started to be weighted so well that leaving him out is just not an option.
SAYONARA – Great win last start over a shorter trip and now heads back to a longer trip on poly. Top three contender on recent form.
GOLD KINGDOM – Never got on the track last start and has returned to the trials on multiple occasions since. Prefer over 1600m but he should have enough early speed to sit off and flash home late in this race.
RACE 10
KING ARTHUR – Weighted incredibly well for this. Carries 53.5kg with the claiming rider on who has ridden him to multiple wins already. Poorly away last start but with his record, its hard to not give him another chance.
MR MALEK – Never missed the top 4 in his 7 appearances over the track and distance with three of those being wins. His run in the Kranj Mile was enormous and despite dropping I distance, comes into this with plenty of added fitness, big chance.
SKY EYE – Carries top weight in this weekend's feature but comes in with plenty of winning form. Indications from the stable were that this race was the plan so you can expect he will be peaking for this run.
SILENT IS GOLD – Racing well enough of late to make an impression here. At the weights its fair to say he is at a slight disadvantage carrying only 0.5kg less than King Arthur, but he draws a nice gate and looks a top three prospect.
RACE 11
GREATHAM GIRL – Draws the ace this weekend for her third up run this preparation. Weighted very well with the stable apprentice going on board and looks set to run a race.
COSMIC DANCER – Draws a horrible gate this weekend for a horse who likes to lead but it didn't stop him last start from being able to win well. Winning form should take him a long way.
METAL WORLD – Caught the eye big time last start and should improve off that. Drawn a great gate to find a nice spot in running, each way claims here.
MAJOR KING – Last start win has plenty of merit. Drawn a little awkward which could lead to some issues in the run. This horse could have a slight class edge on most of these but will need a lot to go right for him to take this out.
