Sous Les Nuages
Sous Les Nuages returns to the scene of his win back in October, fresh off some well-deserved time at the beach. He finds himself in another very suitable race, so hopefully he proves to be the class in this field. Matt Cumani is confident his fitness levels are up to the mark.

Green Fly
Green Fly, a talented last-start winner is out to continue his strong Australian form. He’s come forward again since his win at Ballarat and the step out to 1600m is a positive. He’s a winner on good ground in France, so hopefully he can perform to the same level here without give in the surface. It should once again prove an exciting contest with Detonator Jack.
Race 5 – 3:00pm | 1600m BM100 | T: Anthony & Sam Freedman | J: Matthew Cartwright 51.5kg | Barrier 9 | Saddlecloth 7

Scarlet Tufty
Scarlet Tufty resumes a new campaign in different surroundings, now under the care of rising trainer Jack Bruce. His trial performances have been strong but 1350m is well short of his best, so this is being treated as a third jumpout. Having said that, given his class edge and the weight scale, it would not shock to see him in the finish.
Race 6 – 4:29pm | 1350m Class 3 | T: Jack Bruce | J: Corey Bayliss 59kg | Barrier 2 | Saddlecloth 6
Best of luck to all involved!
