Jimmy The Rich writes that Genie from the Sean Tarry stable takes his place in Race 3 on the card.
He stayed on nicely at the finish last time, but found one too good in the form of Imperial Duke. He will enjoy the extra distance on offer this afternoon.
He does not meet the strongest field and from pole position, he should take a power of beating.
Hollywoodbets-sponsored Candice Dawson sends out Eastbrook in Race 4. He has shown improvement in his last two starts for the stable.
He returns from a 15-week break today, which may have done him the world of good.
Apprentice Joshwin Solomons takes 1.5kgs off his back and if not in need of the run, he may be the one to beat.
Piere Strydom will not be riding as he is medically indisposed and Warren Kennedy will not be riding as he has family responsibilities.
The false rail is zero on the back straight and 5m on the bend with a 5m spur at the 600m mark.
