​Following his impressive debut win, Emerald Hill is bound to have his fair share of admirers when he lines up in Friday night's $65,000 Graduation race (1000m) over Polytrack, but trainer John O'Hara for one will be sweating more over whether he does not get up to his pre-race antics again.

The ninth race on the card tonight does look a Nandowra benefit despite a few factors against the strongly built four-year-old.

After having no other choice but to sit through an unplanned holiday, handy galloper Nandowra is finally back racing when he lines up in tonight's 1600m Open race on Polytrack to hopefully give trainer Michael Freedman a better idea where he is headed next.

The newly-forged Hideyuki Takaoka-Alan Munro association continued on their successful run by adding a mini-feature victory to their record when they combined to take out the $150,000 Woodlands Classic Stakes with Mitre Peak on Sunday.

It looks a battle in two to win the Woodlands Classic at Kranji today, with the Man ironically being a year younger than the Kid.
