3. Ozzmosis trialled exceptionally well ahead of his debut, hence he was sent around $1.40 favourite at Gosford. The Zoustar colt parked in behind the speed and asserted his dominance in the latter stages to win by two lengths going away on the line, beating older horses with race experience. He justified the confident market support and James McDonald heading to the Central Coast for just the one ride. That sets the talented two-year-old up nicely for Randwick. Given what we saw from Ozzmosis in his trials, he'll get the chance to be ridden quieter on Saturday and hit the line. There looks to be enough speed on paper for him to still get his chance to round up his rivals. Stick with him. Smart youngster.

Dangers: We have to go back to the middle of May to find 7. Royal Tribute's latest trial, which was on the same day as Ozzmosis's final trial before his debut. Royal Tribute was impressive to the eye and on the clock, ripping clear at the finish to win by three lengths. He's well found in betting but Watehouse and Bott are have a terrific two-year-old season. 1. Sovereign Fund looks a big price coming back from a Group Two at Doomben. He faded late to be beaten two lengths but looked particularly sharp in a trial since. 9. La Boqueria has to stretch he brilliance back out to 1100m but her Gunnedah romp was won in faster time than the meeting's Open Handicap.

How To Play It: Ozzmosis WIN

7. Ottilie strode forward from a wide draw to take up the running over this same track and trip first up, in the same grade, and gave a sight. He was well beaten by Crafty Eagle at the finish but the winner is one of the more impressive Midway winners we've seen lately and simply looked a class above his rivals. This four-year-old draws wide again but we know she has the speed to offset that. The bigger concern is how quickly 9. Lord Heron wants to go in front. Too quick and it'd set it up for Ottilie to be picked off in the straight. Happy to roll the dice however with this four-year-old making her own luck on top of the speed, bringing a strong form reference and stripping fitter second up. Brett Prebble sticks from last start too.

Dangers: 2. So Good So Cool will be breathing down the necks of the leaders late, possessing a big finish. That was on display at Canterbury last start rattling home to win. He has been explosive kept to the spring trips and is sure to relish getting back onto a bigger track. 3. Soami was great behind Iowna Merc at Randwick two weeks ago, running on into fifth. He's perfectly placed out to 1200m back in grade. Just wish he drew a gate. The early market has found him too. 6. Nosey Parker is chasing four straight wins as he charges through the grades. This is harder of course but he deserves his shot. 8. Diamond Diesel has placed in three of his four Midway runs.

How To Play It: Ottilie WIN

9. Sungblue showed a terrific turn of foot from the 400-200m in Highway Handicap company two weeks ago at Randwick. It looked to have won him the race only for Demitasse to peel off his back and prove too strong late. There was 2.5 lengths back to third. That was on the back of a near miss at Scone the start prior behind Steplee over the mile. The four-year-old only has to hold his form to be in the finish again and Saturday's set up should see him to exactly that. The son of Your Song has drawn a soft gate to settle closer and the 1500m trip looks perfect. He is still stuck on two career wins from his 17 starts, with a habit of finding a couple better recently, but he's knocking on the door for win number three. Hard to beat.

Dangers: 3. Swift Charm was shuffled back in the run at Rosehill three weeks ago behind Sister Moon. The run was much better than it reads on paper. Just has to overcome jumping from 1200m straight out to 1500m. Maps well, however, holding a prominent spot from barrier 1. 15. Amarantz was dragged back to last first up over 1400m, well beaten by Sungblue. She strips fitter second up. 17. Zouatica is the wildcard and a horse that has attracted plenty of early betting interest from punters shopping early. After running Sister Moon to a length at Wagga he was won his subsequent two starts, by dominant margins. The market has well and truly found him now. 12. Bootscooter finally draws a decent barrier.

How To Play It: Sungblue WIN

Siding with 2. Iowna Merc in what looks an intriguing clash. The Bjorn Baker-trainer sprinter returned a gelding at Randwick two weeks ago and produced a career best performance. It was the win of a three-year-old destined to skip through the grades over the winter months. The way Iowna Merc was attacking the line suggests that 1200m suits perfectly now. The son of Winning Rupert has already built an imposing overall record of 6:3-2-0. It's all about the timing, with Iowna Merc meeting the resuming Kibou who has spent 41 weeks on the sidelines and lumps 60.5kg. Then throw into the mix the prices with Iowna Merc a clear second pick having opened $2.80 each of two. Have to be with Iowna Merc given the set up.

Dangers: That's no knock on the talent of 1. Kibou. The gamble is whether he can produce anything near his best given the scenario, resuming from bone chip surgery. That saw him miss a run in the Golden Rose where he was one of the pre-post favourites on the back of a dominant Up And Coming win. He's in the right stable to be ready to go fresh. 10. O'Tycoon meets two classy gallopers going places but he returns a gelding and gets in light. He looks dangerously placed doing no early work from the barrier and has always shown glimpses of talent. 8. Growl never got into the race at Warwick Farm first up. He's so much better than that. Blinkers go back on. 9. Union Army should have won last start.

How To Play It: Iowna Merc WIN

5. Peshmerga was shuffled back in the run at a critical point behind Rediener last start. There was a lot to like about the way the imported mare picked herself up to still find the line. Ideally, would have loved to have seen her out to 2000m now but without a lot of speed on paper, expecting Dylan Gibbons to be positive early to offset that distance query. Get her up and rolling, out of trouble. We saw the four-year-old lead in her first Australian run, boxing on bravely in very testing conditions. One of her two wins when trained in France was at Listed level. Her class is not in question. Looks to be a matter of time before she adds to that win tally under the care of trainer Robert Quinn.

Dangers: 8. Kouklara should have been fighting out the finish at Warwick Farm last start despite finishing midfield. She never saw daylight. Was only beaten four lengths in the Belle Of The Turf at Gosford last campaign. Has proven lately that she doesn't need a wet track to perform. 7. Pharoah's Reign ran second at the midweeks first up but stuck on well behind Celestial Spirit. She'll roll forward and give another sight from the first couple. 4. Lekvarte didn't quicken as expected last Saturday at Randwick. She is better than that. 3. Pin Me Up can build off her first Australian run.

How To Play It: Peshmerga WIN

None of these can match the upside of 11. Passeggiata. The filly is a speed machine which saw her win her first two starts. Her cruising speed has been on display in her two trials back this time in, winning them by a collective 18 lengths. Yes, 18 lengths. Fast horses tend to trial well but she looks to be humming ahead of her return. The biggest knock on her in her first campaign was the inability to fully harness that speed. She wanted to get things over and done with. She was always going to benefit with a preparation under her belt. Dylan Gibbons is lowering his riding weight to 53kg for the meeting which tells you how keen he is to ride the filly. Now let's talk price. Wouldn't be inclined to take anything less than $1.80.

Dangers: 8. Penthouse was too slick for her rivals in Highway Handicap company first up before she was only beaten four lengths in Listed company by Red Card at Scone. The draw will see her dictated to by Passeggiata, drawn to her immediate inside. There is some chance that leaders carve each other up, setting it up for the closers. All four of 9. Miss Dior's wins have been over 1000m and liked the way she trialled alongside Eduardo most recently. She is 35 weeks between runs, however. 2. Our Bellagio Miss improved sharply second up last campaign to win over the Randwick 1000m at big odds, beating Vowmaster. That made it three wins from fives starts over this track and trip. Keep her safe.

How To Play It: Passeggiata WIN

There doesn't look to be much between most of these milers so want to get wide with the Team Hawkes-trained 5. Wild Planet. He has finished fifth and ninth in his two runs this preparation but has been dragged back to last on both occasions. Third up out to the mile could see him ridden much closer. We'll await any confirmation regarding a change of tactics. Last campaign Wild Ruler's best run was from in front, riding a hot speed in The Gong, holding on to finish fourth beaten a little over a length. The timing looks right for him to produce something like his best form which more than measures up in this. The seven-year-old hit the line two weeks ago behind Cisco Bay in what looks the logical form reference for this race.

Dangers: It was hard to miss the eye-catching return of 10. Super Strike behind Cisco Bay. The former Kiwi is yet to win in Australia but continues to tease with big finishes. Maps to be out the back again. Significantly, four of 3. Brutality's six career wins have been on the quick back up. He thrives on racing and has proven himself just as capable on dry tracks more recently. 6. Steely overachieved last start given he is more of a miler now. That sets him up perfectly third up. Has obvious claims. 9. Democracy Manifest was forced to duck back to the inside behind Cisco Bay. Respect that he was hard in the market. The chances don't end there.

How To Play It: Wild Planet EACH WAY

13. Wewillrock was knocked off in the final strides by Devil's Throat three weeks ago having made the running. The four-year-old gave a kick like he was the winner only to fall short. The former Kiwi-trained sprinter now calls Australia home having since been transferred from Guy Lowry into the care of John O'Shea. The gelding does bring benchmark form into this but he plummets 7.5kg because of it and maps to get all favours again. If he isn't in front, he'll camp on the back of the speed. Devil's Throat has since won again while the third placed Rubosto has also since won to frank the form further. The son of El Roca was twice placed at Group level as a three-year-old and the three weeks between runs should see him fresh enough to cope with 1100m back from 1200m.

Dangers: 5. Conscript continues to overachieve. Wet or dry, in front from behind, it doesn't seem to matter with this five-year-old. He made it win number eight from 19 starts two weeks ago over this same track and trip. He goes up 3kg from that and races in Listed company for the first time but this is the level his future lies. 12. Spacewalk was unlucky in defeat when second to Golden Boom at Doomben last start. The barrier looks tricky but he could get a cart across from 11. Dehorned Unicorn to settle handy. There are no such map queries with his stablemate 2. Zethus who looks to be building towards another win. 8. Surreal Step charged late behind Conscript last start while 6. Dragonstone is capable of better.

How To Play It: Wewillrock WIN

9. Pizarro closed off late to run second to Conscript first up. The gamble was always going to be whether he'd find 1100m a touch too sharp. There is no such concern second up out to 1300m. It looks an ideal set up. The four-year-old has fantastic record at Randwick (4:1-2-1). Barrier 1 looks a little tricky, as it was last start, as Tom Sherry will need to keep his wits about him in angling off the fence at the right time as Pizarro isn't blessed with gate speed so risks being pocketed away on the fence. There does look to be a lot of pressure on paper, which should see the field break up enough o give Pizarro his chance. The market has found him but as it was entitled to. He'll take holding out.

Dangers: As will the fast finishing 15. Super Pursuit. His get back style has proved costly in his short Australian career to date. He did run Think About It to half a length back in January and was horribly suited by a lack of pressure on occasions. Capable of rattling off big closing splits. No such worries with the front-running tank 3. Titanium Power. There was merit to his last start performance given he was 1300m back to 1100m. Reunited with jockey Rory Hutchings, who knows the gelding better than most. 4. Rubamos will have some say in the finish from a draw which should see him stalking midfield. 6. Zoushack gets the blinkers back on. That says that he is ready.

How To Play It: Pizarro WIN

10. Crafty Eagle was learning on the job last preparation, yet still chalking up wins. The three-year-old put his rivals away impressively with 59kg on his back first up over 1200m in the manner of a horse destined to go right on with it. It was Midway Handicap company but he put a gap on his rivals late and was always going to find 1200m on the sharp side. The son of Starcraft now boasts a record of 6:3-2-1. He is even better placed out to 1400m second up. There is more depth in this BM78 but the John Thompson-trained gelding will recover a position just in behind the speed from the low gate, stalking two of his main threats in 4. Phearson and 12. Gundy Bridge. Keagan Latham has been aboard in his last four starts.

Dangers: 1. Battleton didn't have any luck at Rosehill last start behind Devil's Throat and may have been fighting out the finish had the splits come at the right time. There is a sense of timing about him now third up out to 1400m, staying in this grade. 4. Phearson was truckloaded in betting late last start and he delivered in a big way, setting a fast tempo in the early stages before zipping clear late. If the leaders get at each other, 2. Mahagoni comes into play. He's sure to take improvement from his first up run and he'll settle last but the depth of his form reads well for this. The best of 12. Gundy Bridge would win this, just want to see him bounce back before trusting him. 15. Vienna Princess might want a mile now but she looks to have returned well.
