7 Desert Mist (Bet Now:  $SP.00) has run well in town before in Brisbane and he strikes a very winnable Highway. He ran over this trip on Murwillumbah Cup Day when off the speed and closing strongly when second to stablemate Al Ash Lad. Gets Nash aboard and maps to get a sweet run in transit. Hard to beat.

6 Atmospheric Rock (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is knocking on the door to win a Highway for Danny Williams. He ran a fortnight back here in the Highway where he was able to settle closer in the run and stuck to the task well enough in defeat behind stablemate Stormy Witness. Racing like 1500m will suit and I think with his best, he is certainly good enough to take this out.

9 Skyforger (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is one I can entertain for wider multiples. Clint Lundholm trained gelding that rises in trip after racing over 1300m at Dubbo where he got a fair way out of his ground and worked home quite well late in the piece behind Laffing Waters. The way he finds the line, 1500m is ideal and gets in well after the claim.

7 Peace Officer (Bet Now:  $SP.00) on top for me. This four year old resumed with a bang, taking out the Da Vinci on Wyong Cup Day, getting into a dream spot behind the speed under Nash before angling into clear air and once balanced up, he was quite dominant late. Tick over trial was quite good and I think fitter, onto a bigger track, he only runs well.

2 Flying Destiny (Bet Now:  $SP.00) commands respect. Michael Freedman has him flying at the moment, winning 2/2 this time in. Latest win came on Wyong Cup Day when landing decent bets, sitting on speed throughout before being clicked up on the turn, had full momentum and was far too good. Good test here, but confident he measures up.

3 Bend The Knee… (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is he back? He looked cast but he resumed last Wednesday at Canterbury and was one of the runs of the meeting, closing off with real purpose late in the piece to run second to impressive winner Body Bob. Natural improvement off that into this, he’ll take beating. But, overall, he has been hard to trust for a long time.

8 Marquess (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a very interesting runner. He ran over 1800m two weeks ago at Rosehill where I thought the ride from Schiller was very negative and just handed the race to the leader and eventual winner, Howgoodareyou. He’ll love the rise to 1900m and with a more positive steer, he’s clearly the one to beat.

4 Tazaral (Bet Now:  $SP.00) has done little wrong in recent times for Team Snowden. He had a several week let up leading into his run at Randwick a few weeks ago. He tried his guts out but just lacked the race fitness to get within range of impressive winner Just Fine. He has that run under the belt now, which should hold him in good stead for this.

10 Pierosa (Bet Now:  $SP.00) looks to have returned in pretty good order. Team Snowden trained mare that ran two weeks back here behind Howgoodareyou and while the race shape wasn’t to her liking, she did find the line well enough I thought, looking like a mare that wants more ground, which she gets here, and third up from a spell, should just about be at peak fitness.

9 Fire Lane (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is worth a throw at the stumps. This filly was far from disgraced first up in The Rosebud behind Tiz Invincible before bumping into that filly again in the Furious where she was ridden forward and felt the pinch late. She is a short course animal so back to 1100m I like, she maps to stalk the speed and get every chance.

8 Royal Tribute (Bet Now:  $SP.00) looks your leader and leaders at the Rosehill 1100m are always hard to beat. This guy resumed in a Hawkesbury maiden where he looked a moral on paper and he didn’t give his supporters concern at any stage, leading throughout and giving his rivals a spanking. Finds the front here over Ozzmosis you’d think and from there, will take beating.

Giving respect to 1 Barber (Bet Now:  $SP.00). He is a proven Stakes performer and if you break down his form, gee it reads well. No luck in a messy Blue Diamond and was four wide no cover in the Golden Slipper, ending the prep with a third in the Kindergarten. Several trials to get ready tells me there is intent and he does have a touch of class when right. He has to be respected.

I am pretty confident that 9 Verona (Bet Now:  $SP.00) bounces back. Maher/Eustace mare that ran three weeks ago at Randwick where I thought Schiller was asleep at the wheel on the mare, leaving his run on her far too late when third to Athabascan. Dominant win here the start prior, I think she’s clearly the one to beat and one of the better bets on the program.

6 Athabascan (Bet Now:  $SP.00) has found winning form and he can go on with it now. The ride from Sherry was a peach three weeks ago at Randwick, making the move on the turn to build the revs and no doubt the ride won the race, maintaining a safe margin to the line in an impressive display. He’s been frustrating to follow at times but now he has got a win on the board, his confidence is up and he can win again.

4 Fancy Man (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is third up from a spell and should just about be at peak fitness. He ran three weeks back at Randwick where he was near the speed throughout and tried hard but being second up at 2400m, I just think condition gave way late in the piece behind Athabascan. He has that 2400m run under the belt, which should hold him in good stead.

Have to give respect to 2 Espiona (Bet Now:  $SP.00). Chris Waller trained mare that resumed two weeks ago in the Sheraco where she got back to last but was absolutely trucking in the run. She got out late and savaged the line to run second to Everest contender Sunshine In Paris. Fitter and up to 1400m, natural improvement to come…she looks the one to beat.

1 Atishu (Bet Now:  $SP.00) looks to be in for a ripping prep. She comes through the Sheraco from a fortnight back here. She was tucked in behind them and was full of running. She was held up but got clear late and hit the line with real purpose behind Sunshine In Paris. Good second up record, suited up to 1400m, I am sure she’ll be around the mark.

4 Sheeza Belter (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a very interesting runner. Formerly with Team Snowden, she now finds herself with Annabel Neasham. She hasn’t raced since the All Star Mile when not handling the seven day back up, finishing down the track behind Mr Brightside. Two trials to get ready for the return, she loves dry ground and she is very good when right, so watch the market.

3 Cepheus (Bet Now:  $SP.00) looks the likely leader and from in front, he’ll take running down. He resumed three weeks ago over 1400m at Eagle Farm where he did early work from the wide gate to land on speed and I reckon that early burn just told late in the piece, tiring late behind Irish Songs. Looks the leader and with Nash aboard, who has ridden the horse effectively previously, he’ll take running down.

7 Waterford (Bet Now:  $SP.00) looks to be in for a good prep. Chris Waller trained gelding resumed a fortnight back in the Theo Marks. He was able to use the inside gate and settle closer in the run near the speed. Got out in time and finished off nicely when a close up third to Golden Mile. Fitter and up to 1500m, he is getting towards D-Day if he’s going to be an Epsom contender.

1 Kirwan’s Lane (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is one I can entertain for wider multiples. He resumed in the Theo Marks two weeks back where he paraded like he would need the run and that’s how it worked out, sitting off the speed and grinding to the line without threatening behind Golden Mile, beaten three lengths. Has eyes on the Epsom but runs well here regardless to tune up.

I’ve been hot on 3 Cylinder (Bet Now:  $SP.00) for this race for a few months and won’t be dropping off. I think he’s had the ideal prep leading into this. Solid test when winning the Vain first up at Caulfield before racing here two weeks ago in the Run To The Rose where he was cuddled until very late, edging clear and drove hard to win. 1400m is the query, but I think with a patient steer, dry ground, he’ll be hard to hold out.

A win here for 2 Shinzo (Bet Now:  $SP.00) and he probably becomes Everest favourite. Top class colt that resumes, having not raced since his famous Golden Slipper triumph when giving them a start and a beating under Ryan Moore, who makes the trip over from England to ride him again. His trial work and work between races has been very good and every indication is that he will eat up 1400m.

1 Militarize (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is racing already like he wants 1600m+. He resumed two weeks back in the Run To The Rose where he was very one paced when initially asked but he kept on and kept finding the line in a strong return behind Cylinder. I don’t think he has the brilliance to beat these, but he is a must for exotics.

11 Pereille (Bet Now:  $SP.00) has turned his career around and is a key threat. Once upon a time, he was a milk drinker, but the trip away to Melbourne has really done the trick it seems. He was outstanding in a stint there before returning to Randwick three weeks back where he looked the winner but was nabbed on the line by Garza Blanca. He’ll be around the mark.

10 Danish Prince (Bet Now:  $SP.00) will jump on the bunny and give them something to chase. He ran two weeks back over 1500m here when attempting to lead throughout and he did give a strong kick but couldn’t quite finish it off when third to Unspoken, beaten just under two lengths. Harder here, but good racing style and with weight relief, he’ll give a sight I am sure.

Fitter and up to 1400m are two big ticks for 5 For Valour (Bet Now:  $SP.00). GaiBott trained gelding that resumed three weeks back at Randwick where he was ridden with intent early to sit on speed but that early burn first up just told and he felt the pinch late behind Garza Blanca. Much better set up this time around so I think, at odds, he can run an improved race.

13 Ojai (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is hard to beat. Three weeks between runs for James Cummings since resuming at Randwick where she got back to near last in the run and did make up solid ground without threatening behind Waverider Buoy. Good second up record, has run well at the track previously and if she can get a drag into the race, she is certainly dangerous.

15 Mars Mission (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a Team Hawkes trained gelding that resumes. This guy is first up, having not raced since May 20 when somewhat disappointing here from behind the speed behind Devil’s Throat. He is a horse who races best on the fresh side and has trialled up very well leading in, plus gets Moreira, so he ticks a few boxes to say he can run well first up.

7 Rainbiel (Bet Now:  $SP.00) would have been a clear top pick had she drawn a gate. First run for Joe Pride came at Randwick where she got back to near last in the run and while she was never a threat, she worked home with purpose behind Waverider Buoy. Tick over trial was good…if she gets a drag into the race, she can win.

BEST BET: Race Six Number 2 Espiona

NEXT BEST: Race Three Number 8 Marquess

LONG SHOT: Race Four Number 9 Fire Lane
