MIDWAY HANDICAP 1300m
Life Coach should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. EMMADELLA (15) smart filly who finds her race today fifth-up. Showed a ton of fight with the 58kg in the atrocious conditions when a game second over 1400m at Randwick Kensington on June 12. Drop in weight suits from the good draw. Hard to hold out. PUTT FOR DOUGH (6) holding form well in this company and kept fresh here after finishing third over 1400m at Randwick on May 25. Will sit on the speed and prove hard to run down again. CRUEL SUMMER (4) racing in career best form and returns from a 49-day let-up. Will find this easier after being collared late when third over 1200m at Newcastle in BM78 grade on May 11. The 3kg claim keeps him in the mix. MONTE MAXIMUS (20) improving gelding who deserves his shot here on the limit weight. Charged late with the 58kg when a sound fourth over 1500m at Kembla Grange on June 20. Look for him powering late in this stronger event. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 15,6,4,20. |

TAB HIGHWAY HANDICAP 1500m
Silver Halo can lead with no recognised leaders engaged. ASSOCIATE (2) returned from a let-up with an eye catching third behind REMATCH over this track and trip on June 1. Can race closer from the good gate here and the 3kg claim will make it that little bit easier. Go close. AGIRLSBESTFRIEND (8) nice return in the heavy (9) going when she came from near last on the turn for a slogging third over 1400m here in this grade on June 15. Goes equally as well second-up and Duggan keeps the ride. SHIHAB (3) holding his form well and showed plenty of tenacity when charging late with the big weight to run second over 1400m here on June 15. Can stalk the speed today and take a hand in the finish. TOES IN THE WATER (10) back in grade when asserting her authority late for a tough 0.6 len win over 1500m at Goulburn on June 21. Keatings rides again with the 3kg claim but the wide draw will make it tough. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,8,3,10. |

JAMES SQUIRE STAYER'S CUP 2400m
Father's Day should be able to comfortably find the front. FATHER'S DAY (7) tough gelding at his top now after being collared late when a sound on-pace second as a well-fancied fav over 2400m at Randwick Kensington in easier grade on June 12. Sharp weight drop with the claim and will take a ton of catching fourth-up. NAVAL COMMISSION (9) progressive staying gelding chasing his fourth-straight victory here. Strong through the line when a comfortable 1.1 len winner over 2200m at Warwick Farm on June 5. Looks up to the steep class rise from the inside draw. KUREDER (8) undefeated in two attempts over the 2400m and looks well in with the 3kg claim today. Anchored with the 58.5kg in the heavy (9) going when fifth over 2000m here two weeks ago. No shock to see him finish over the top of these. Group 1 placegetter GAN TEORAINN (5) returned to form with an encouraging third from well back over 2400m in the LR Winter Cup here on June 15. Senior rider on today and a repeat of latest should see her play a leading role in this easier contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,9,8,5. |

Held on well in the heavy (9) going from the wide gate when a narrow sixth over 1600m at Randwick on June 8. Extra trip shouldn't pose a problem and expected to figure prominently. BRIGHT RED (14) back in trip and down in weight when returned to form with a swooping head victory over 1600m at Randwick in this class on June 8. At her peak now and should get the right tempo from the sticky draw to run out a strong 1800m. FOR VICTORY (5) racing in peak form this prep and total forgive in the heavy (9) conditions when a poor ninth over 2000m here on June 15. Drop in trip with the 3kg claim will see his hard to hold out from the inside gate. AMBERITE (3) Victorian gelding with a stack of ability back in grade and trip for this. Went under narrowly in a tight finish behind FOUJITA SAN when second over 2000m at Caulfield in BM84 grade on June 1. Can get cover early from the draw and play a leading role.

Multiple Group 2 placegetter WATERFORD (2) steps out to the 2000m for the first time after failing to get through the heavy (9) going when a plugging sixth over 1600m at Randwick on June 8. This looks a target race and worth noting Rawiller is back aboard.
