The first race is due off at 12h20.
Jimmy The Rich writes Zimbaba from the Sean Tarry stable looks to be the likely Pick 6 banker in Race 9.
She was ultra-impressive when winning the Listed Swallow Stakes over 1160m in soft going.
It must be noted that Rapid Fire who finished fourth that day has come out and won since. She meets a similar type of field today and should take a power of beating.
Trainer Dorrie Sham sends out Sell High in Race 5 for owner John Finlayson. He finished 0.4 lengths behind Apollo Robbins last time.
He is 2kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned.
He was reported to have got cut into on his left hind leg that day which makes the effort that much more encouraging. He has a good record over this distance and can notch up his fifth career victory.
The false rail is zero on the back straight to 5m on the bend with a 5m spur at the 700m mark.
