2R : 3-4-1
MARKET KING (3) ought to be home and dry unless the apprentice declared to ride mucks up. SKY FALL (4) has beaten Market King three runs back and ought not to be ignored. AUGUSTUS CAESAR (1) is the joker in this pack.

5R : 3-8-5
The two hat-trick seekers, PEPPER (3) and FARRELL (8), should fight tooth-and-nail for the coveted figure. SPRING GROVE (5), with the in-form claimer atop, may send the followers of form scurrying for cover.

8R : 2-3-8
Last-start impressive winner ALPHA GENE (2) bids for an encore on the back of the stupendous show. With his yard back in action, WILLY WONKAA (3) would be keen to contribute his mite. SCOTLAND (8) can shock if hitting the front early.
