1R : It would not surprise if speedy MUTANT (2) were to bag the opener of the day, as the sharp 5.5-furlong looks suited for her. Late-rusher DIAMOND AND PEARLS (1) is assured of a fast pace with a few speedy contestants in the fray, and all he needs is a timely alert to douse the bids of the leaders close to the post. EMPRESS ETERNAL (3) would reign supreme if her rider got her going at the right time.
2R : DESERT STAR (2), who met one better in both of the previous starts, could get lucky in this outing. If the well-bred, 5-race maiden SAMURAI BLUE (1) fails to score in this weak affair, then he will likely never. YOUNG HEART (4) is the joker in this pack.
3R : The last-start effortless winner, SMILES OF FORTUNE (8), is the one to beat. SPIRIT OF THE ROSE (4) could land the spoils for the simple reason that she made a quick return after finishing third last week. Although SUPREME GRANDEUR (2) might find it difficult to win, she has every chance of finishing in the money.

4R : MASTERPIECE (6) reunites with his winning rider and looks set to resume winning ways. The booking of the top rider augurs well for WONDERFUL ERA (4), who hit the board under a claimer last time. WISAKA (8) has a rider known for striking at longer odds, and this contestant could be deemed the dark one.
5R : THIS IS GOLD (4) is the pick of the lot, but she needs to be wary of the impressive debut winners, BLUEMED (1) and LIGHT THE WORLD (3).
6R : THREE OF A KIND (5) deserves his due (a victory) for his consistency in performance this term. WAR EMBLEM (1) now races below the last winning mark, and coupled with the claim (-2.5kg) of his rider, this gives him a great chance to come to the fore. Speedy RWANDA (3) is capable of pulling the rug from under the hooves of his rivals.
