1R : 3-4-12
DANCING QUEEN (3) looks set to make this field groove to her moves. Well-bred but maiden-yet, SALVADOR (4) gets a claimer in red-hot form and that could tilt the balance in his favour. Gelded recently, RAJPUTANA (12) is likely to stand up to the task on hand.
2R : 9-2-1
The got-abroad debutante TURF MELODY (9) has trialled well enough to merit a look. Last-start-failed favourite ZUCARDI (2) may make amends for the expensive failure. KING ROGER (1) could reign supreme if performing true to his bloodline promise.
3R : 2-8-6
An encore beckons ANGAVAI (2) as the runner she had scalped went on to score in its very next start. The green signal blinks for RUBERT (8) with the booking of the local champion rider. Having run third to Angavai last time, ROYAL MONARCH (6) could well reverse the standing with a pull at weights.
4R : 7-1-4
ROYAL PEARL (7), with the top rider astride, is all set to glitter and gleam. Resuming after a lengthy break, well-bred SUPREME RUNNER (1) could make a successful comeback. DEMESTHENES (4) is the best of the rest.

5R : 1-2-9
An upset cannot be ruled out in this wide-open contest. The ones that deserve a look are TURF BEAUTY (1), AIR MARSHALL (2) and WISAKA (9).
6R : 7-1-6
EMBRACE (7) is the pick of the lot. THOMAS HARDY (1) or DESPACITO (6) may follow her home.
7R : 8-4-6
In-form LORDSHIP (8) is the one to beat. Late-rusher KARADENIZ (4) can come calling with a timely alert. GALLANTRY (6) could surprise as he has seen better company in the past.
8R : 8-6-1
AUGUSTA (8) may make amends for her recent failures. The same holds true for DARK SON (6). EMPRESS ETERNAL (1) is the joker in this pack.
