THOROUGHBREDS
Eagle Farm: Race 6; #1 Cool Archie

Won first-up but that was on a heavy Doomben surface. The set-up is much different here on a firm Eagle Farm track and this is a much harder race.
Caulfield: Race 8; #1 Pride Of Jenni

Laying Pride Of Jenni the place, who is very obviously the best horse in the race and I don't think, any value to lay the win but happy to be against her top three. She has never (since being a G1 horse) run a poor race and then followed that up with another run in the middle of a preparation.
Hawkesbury: Race 5; #4 Quantum Cat

Against Quantum Cat in this today in these conditions. He will likely be an improver 2nd up with the extra fitness, but he has never had much success on wet tracks and if we see this track remain at the heavy rating, that will likely be against his best. More than likely he will need to be making up ground on a track that doesn't suit him so against him here.
HARNESS
Melton: Race 9; #5 Sir Jimmy

Big win last time but this is harder – looks a risk.
