RANDWICK Race 8-7 KEEN COMMANDER: Noted speedster will need to show his usual pace from a wide gate to cross this strong Galaxy field. While he was second in this race last year, with so much speed drawn under him cannot see how he will have a kick against this strong field as he can struggle beyond 1000m.
CAULFIELD Race 5-4 RENEWABLE: John Sadler has this Zabeel flying but he has to overcome the drop back in distance off two 2500m runs. If he is being set for the Sydney Cup, this may be a tough assignment over 2000m. A couple of younger stayers also pose a problem for him.
EAGLE FARM Race 4-5 DRUMSHANBO: Has won his last three starts so this might be a bit of a risk to take him on. Has had near the limit in some weaker races and now meets a slightly harder group. This will test having 9th run in the campaign.
OAKBANK Race 1-8 SHE'S MY DIVA: Made debut at Murray Bridge with an eye-catching run from last to finish second behind Chunky Custard. Will have plenty of supporters on that run but meets the winner worse at the weights, is up in weight, meets a tougher field and drawn wide again, where she will probably be giving a start on what is traditionally an on-pace track. Will be a massive job if she can overcome all that.
