Race 1 - 11:40AM GRAINSHAKER AUSTRALIAN VODKA FERNHILL MILE (1600 METRES)

6. Make A Call is threatening to win a race and given he's been getting back and running on over shorter trips the step up to the mile will be interesting. He was strong late at the end of 1400m last time but from a softer draw he might be able to be that little bit closer. No doubt he has the finish on him and he gets the chance to put a race away.

Dangers: 5. Kintyre has struck form this time around and he backed up an upset win at Newcastle with a solid effort at Warwick Farm up to 1400m. he's a half-brother to Fireburn and you'd imagine he's looking for that little bit more ground now. No surprise if he measures up. 4. Townsend is an interesting runner, he's by Dundeel out of former top mare Secret Admirer and he did it well on debut on a heavy track at Wyong. Up sharply in trip but bred to love it and he's one to keep an eye on. 2. Inhibitions has been racing well and puts himself on the speed in his races. Couldn't hold off the stablemate Amur last time so perhaps the mile is a little query but he'll give a sight.

How to play it: Make A Call WIN ($4.00 TAB Fixed Odds). Odds & Evens: SPLIT.

Race 2 - 12:15PM BISLEY WORKWEAR SOUTH PACIFIC CLASSIC (1400 METRES)

2. Perfect Thought is a promising type and he's a big watch first-up since his easy Carbine Club win over the mile in the spring. He was beaten first-up last prep but didn't get a shot at them in a strong maiden won by Matcha Latte before breaking through when he did see some room second-up. He was pushed along in his trial but that was only 1050m and under race conditions expect he'll be hard to hold out. Small concern on a real heavy which probably explains the recent drift.

Dangers: 6. Rediener has some race fitness on his side and he found the line quite well when resuming at Kensington a couple of weeks ago to finish midfield. His only win to date came second-up so he should improve and some give in the ground is no issue. 12. Stylised returns as a gelding after taking on the Group 3 Gloaming on a heavy track back in October, beaten under two lengths by Sharp 'N' Smart. He moved quite well in his trial, he drew wide on debut and went back before sitting closer to win his second start. Perhaps he goes back and looks to run on. Keep safe. 11. Hokkaido comes through the same race as Rediener first-up and he was only warming up at the finish. He produced a big performance to win at Rosehill second-up last time around, probably not the type to take advantage of an inside gate but he stays under notice. 10. Hawaii Five Oh and 9. Cool Jakey ran second and third in that race and have claims too.

How to play it: Perfect Thought E/W ($10 TAB Fixed Odds). Odds & Evens: EVENS.

Race 3 - 12:50PM TRESEMME PERCY SYKES STAKES (1200 METRES)

3. Autumn Ballet had some raps on her going into the Black Opal on debut and she lived up to them with a runaway win. Kept up to the mark with a nice trial just over a week ago and she'd only have to take some improvement to be the one to beat. Only query is the Black Opal form hasn't sparkled just yet.

Dangers: 1. Lazzago was knocked out of the Golden Slipper so you have to judge her on her impressive Sweet Embrace win. She trialled in the same heat as Autumn Ballet and wasn't knocked around. Wary that Militarize came out of the Slipper interference to win the Sires'. Respect. 6. Kimochi enjoyed a nice run first-up at midweek level and raced away for an easy win, running right up to the promise she showed on debut. James McDonald an interesting booking and she's worth keeping in mind. 10. Tiz Invincible had a tough run on debut in the Black Opal and to stick on and finish fourth was a handy effort to say the least. Unlikely to be caught wide from gate two and she did start favourite there so be wary.

How to play it: Autumn Ballet WIN ($3.10 TAB Fixed Odds). Odds & Evens: ODDS.

Race 4 - 1:25PM POLYTRACK PROVINCIAL-MIDWAY CHAMPIONSHIPS FINAL (1400M)

5. Kayobi looks a nice horse in the making and there was a touch of arrogance about his qualifier win at Gosford last month. He was able to settle in the first half and just eased out in the straight, took a few moments to balance up, then just sailed past Audette to win with something in hand. He's ticked the wet track box, and the distance box and gets the stalking draw again. Will be very hard to beat.

Dangers: 3. Loch Eagle is a talent in his own right and is a formidable rival. He just held his ground in the Gosford race, beaten 3.6 by Kayobi but was a different horse up to 1400m on his home track with a dynamic win in the Wild Card. If Kayobi doesn't win, suspect this fellow does. 11. Short Shorts put a big margin on her rivals to win a Kembla qualifier after dragging them up to a runaway leader, and she then had the audacity to race away again. Tends to make her own luck and is one of the chances. 12. Essonne won the first qualifying race of the series and did it with an element of ease. That was in late February so she's been ticking over and trialled last week to top off her preparation. She's a reliable type, drawn well and hard to leave out of the discussion. 6. Spangler might want a mile but he was very good late behind Loch Eagle last time and Short Shorts prior to that. If the track plays down the outside he could be the blouser.

How to play it: Kayobi WIN ($3.90 TAB Fixed Odds). Odds & Evens: ODDS.

Race 5 - 2:00PM ARROWFIELD 3YO SPRINT (1200 METRES)

2. Zou Tiger is bursting to win a race if he can put his mind on the job and the blinkers going on might be what switches him on. Game in the Randwick Guineas and he's finished in front of Aft Cabin in their past two clashes. The shades and the soft track might level things up with the return to 1200m and he has a good chance to beat the favourite.

Dangers: 1. Aft Cabin has had this race made that much easier with the scratching of What You Need. He's much better suited coming back from the mile in the Randwick Guineas where he made a bit of a dash in the straight but never looked a winning chance. If he can repeat his first-up win in the Eskimo Prince over Zou Tiger then he'll be tough to stop. 7. Economics might be the forgotten horse. He was solid first-up in the Fireball then thought he ran well with excuses in the Darby Munro. Favourite both times and now he's double figures from a soft draw and he handles all ground. Worth thought. 4. Kote has settled back and hit the line into second placing in his two recent runs in a return to form after two disappointing efforts. His wet track form is excellent, and it wouldn't surprise looking at the make up of the race if they press forward from the wide gate.

How to play it: Zou Tiger WIN ($5.00 TAB Fixed Odds). Odds & Evens: SPLIT.

Race 6 - 2:35PM THE STAR AUSTRALIAN OAKS (2400 METRES)

1. Pennyweka looks every bit the staying type and her New Zealand Oaks win was so strong. She just blended into the race well after settling in the middle of the pack with plenty of cover but within seconds of being asked she was in the clear and reeling in the leaders. So the draw probably doesn't affect her, she'll be midfield at best in the run and if she finds a back to follow into the race she will surely finish with purpose.

Dangers: 5. Arts is the new kid on the block and may up and coming fillies have come through the Adrian Knox and been competitive in an Oaks. She chimed in last week like the race was just getting started at the 200m and it's hard to see anything behind her turning the tables. She was a $26 chance so there's an element of wondering whether she can do it again but suggest she can step up. 3. Fireburn was quite solid in the Vinery after finding herself in the inferior going in the straight. She worked home into third and didn't look to be stopping so perhaps 2400m isn't beyond her. She will get the sting out of the track this time and have to keep her safe. 2. Pavitra was no match for Prowess in the Vinery after hitting the front at the top of the straight. She was placed in the Victorian Oaks in the spring so has some experience at the trip but just a small question over how strong she will be at the finish given there were plenty reeling her in late there last start. That said she gets every chance.

Race 7 - 3:15PM SCHWEPPES SYDNEY CUP (3200 METRES)

14. King Frankel proved with his third in the Tancred that he's on target to run a strong two miles with just 50kg. He took off to attack the leader well before the home turn and he stayed on nicely to hold third. The return to handicap conditions is really in his favour and he should be up in the first half dozed or so given his racing pattern. It's a wide open Cup this year but everything he's done says he'll run a big race.

Dangers: 11. Cleveland had the flashing light on with his local debut fifth in the Tancred and is another with a big weight drop. He does look on target and now the question is can he produce on a two week back up when his runs are usually spaced. Wary his last win was over 3749m. 5. Arapaho just can't be left out after winning the Tancred on the back of a Canberra Cup win. He's in career best form and gets his chance under the handicap conditions. 15. Nerve Not Verve backs up after her close second in the Chairmans last week and she drops 5.5kg on that. Looked to have the Auckland Cup shot to pieces at 3200m prior to that only to be run down on the line. So many others have cases too.

How to play it: King Frankel E/W ($6.00 TAB Fixed Odds). Odds & Evens: SPLIT.

Race 8 - 3:55PM LONGINES QUEEN ELIZABETH STAKES (2000 METRES)

It's easy to get carried away with the Ranvet Stakes win by 2. Dubai Honour but the ominous aspect is that he's supposed to be so much better with some give in the ground. That's something he will get at Randwick. It wasn't a particularly strongly run Ranvet but he has the racing style to adapt to a genuine tempo, which is expected here. Imagine he rolls across into the first three or four in running and he'd have to go backwards from his first-up win to not be in the finish.

Dangers: It's almost un-Australian not to have 1. Anamoe on top but he might just have met his match. You can't knock a horse that's won nine Group 1s but he is coming off a tough run in the George Ryder, which was a blanket finish, and the form around it has been a touch disappointing since. That's not to say he can't win, he's made a habit of winning, and he is the logical danger. 12. Montefilia has been a giant killer before and you wouldn't put it past her to charge off the back of a good gallop. The Tancred was one that got away from her after she stumbled near the turn but she loves Randwick and if she is able to repeat the performance from last year's Ranvet, where she sailed past Verry Elleegant, she's in this race. 7. Unicorn Lion is the big query. He looks the leader in the race on what we've seen of him in Japan but we have no idea how he handles a rain affected surface. If it becomes firmer than we think he becomes more dangerous. He had his stablemate under pressure in a gallop on the Kenso on Tuesday if that's any guide to how he'll handle some give. Never underestimate the Japanese, Kluger did run second to Winx four years ago and he wasn't nearly as fancied.

How to play it: Dubai Honour WIN ($2.50 TAB Fixed Odds). Odds & Evens: SPLIT.

Race 9 - 4:35PM SYDNEY QUEEN OF THE TURF STAKES (1600 METRES)

How do we line up 1. Alcohol Free? She comes to Sydney with a big price tag in the UK and a race record to justify it. Brilliant winning the July Cup, a very tough 1207m sprint at Newmarket, and was far from disgraced running third behind Baaeed at Group 1 level over a mile last July. That's real form. She was given a nice sound out in a 1200m trial back on March 21, appears to handle wet tracks and has drawn nicely. If she's as classy as she looks, first-up and all, she has to be hard to beat at set weights against our mares.

Dangers: 5. Hope In Your Heart is always underestimated and it could be the same here despite her slashing fourth in the Doncaster last week. When you draw 20 it makes the job hard and she had to come from last to be beaten 1.4 lengths. Draw favours her this time and she is a big threat. 8. Atishu was outstanding when resuming in the Emancipation, producing sizzling sectionals from last on the turn to run second. She'll love the Randwick mile and some give is no issue. Definite chance. 3. Levante was a Group 1 winner in New Zealand over the trip in February before catching everyone's eye in the George Ryder beaten under a length by Anamoe. That keeps her under notice, 2. Fangirl was just in front of her in that race then ran okay considering she doesn't like a heavy track in the Doncaster. Any improvement brings her into it.

How to play it: Alcohol Free WIN ($3.20 TAB Fixed Odds). Odds & Evens: ODDS.

Race 10 - 5:10PM TAB SAPPHIRE STAKES (1200 METRES)

4. Zapateo has a wide alley to overcome but it may not matter by the last race, and she does have tactical speed to slot in somewhere in a race that looks to have genuine pace on paper. She was dominant in the Birthday Card and if anything is a better horse on wet ground. Take beating.

Dangers: 2. Kiku probably drifts back from a double figure gate but that's not unusual for her and she does have a nice turn of foot when she's on song. She was a Theo Marks winner first-up in the spring and her two Queensland runs over summer were solid. Each-way. 6. Jal Lei has returned in good form with a win first-up, in the stewards room, before chasing home Zapateo at Rosehill. Probably wants it in the soft range to be most effective and she's in the mix again if that's the case. 3. Expat is now with Joe Pride and freshened up since running in the Coolmore Classic where she was a $13 chance. She loves the sting out of the ground and if she's allowed to do her thing up front she can take some running down. Bit of a market watch. Same can be said for 1. Princess Grace, an American mare first-up for Chris Waller and she's trialled well enough. Has rarely run on anything other than a firm deck.

How to play it: Zapateo WIN ($2.40 TAB Fixed Odds). Odds & Evens: EVENS.
