OVERVIEW: Markets will clearly be our best guide in the evening’s penultimate event. Once upon a rainbow high-class Kiwi horses simply turned up in Oz and won for fun. It doesn’t happen as regularly these days but Ray Green’s progressive 3YO ARGYLE (1) looks perfectly placed tonight. Unlike many cross-ditch invaders he has the gate speed to use his polemarking draw and if we witness a single-file formation early – which is likely – he’ll just burn these off for speed and class. If there is to be an ‘upset’ then fellow former Kiwi GILLIGANS ISLAND (3) is the only runner seemingly capable of providing it. It’s somewhat doubtful that G Sugars will chance his arm early tonight, but GILLIGANS ISLAND (3) does possess serious early pace if he does, and should he cross the favourite, who knows? Even if the Candyman takes a more conservative route, that bloke should settle three pegs and from there he should finish second or third at very worst. Map-wise, the other must-include for multiples is likely trail-horse MONSIEUR DELACOUR (2). Little separates the remining runners though it must be remembered that every horse, in descending order, will need to make up 4m-plus to run past them in a single-file scenario and for that reason CAPTAIN CONFETTI (4) rates as fourth pick. EARLY SPEED: 1 (Likely Leader) + 3? + 2?,7? RATINGS: 1/ 3/ 2/ 4/ 7/ 5/ 6

OVERVIEW: Markets will clearly be our best guide in the evening’s penultimate event. Once upon a rainbow high-class Kiwi horses simply turned up in Oz and won for fun. It doesn’t happen as regularly these days but Ray Green’s progressive 3YO ARGYLE (1) looks perfectly placed tonight. Unlike many cross-ditch invaders he has the gate speed to use his polemarking draw and if we witness a single-file formation early – which is likely – he’ll just burn these off for speed and class. If there is to be an ‘upset’ then fellow former Kiwi GILLIGANS ISLAND (3) is the only runner seemingly capable of providing it. It’s somewhat doubtful that G Sugars will chance his arm early tonight, but GILLIGANS ISLAND (3) does possess serious early pace if he does, and should he cross the favourite, who knows? Even if the Candyman takes a more conservative route, that bloke should settle three pegs and from there he should finish second or third at very worst. Map-wise, the other must-include for multiples is likely trail-horse MONSIEUR DELACOUR (2). Little separates the remining runners though it must be remembered that every horse, in descending order, will need to make up 4m-plus to run past them in a single-file scenario and for that reason CAPTAIN CONFETTI (4) rates as fourth pick. EARLY SPEED: 1 (Likely Leader) + 3? + 2?,7? RATINGS: 1/ 3/ 2/ 4/ 7/ 5/ 6

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Markets will clearly be our best guide in the evening’s penultimate event. Once upon a rainbow high-class Kiwi horses simply turned up in Oz and won for fun. It doesn’t happen as regularly these days but Ray Green’s progressive 3YO ARGYLE (1) looks perfectly placed tonight. Unlike many cross-ditch invaders he has the gate speed to use his polemarking draw and if we witness a single-file formation early – which is likely – he’ll just burn these off for speed and class. If there is to be an ‘upset’ then fellow former Kiwi GILLIGANS ISLAND (3) is the only runner seemingly capable of providing it. It’s somewhat doubtful that G Sugars will chance his arm early tonight, but GILLIGANS ISLAND (3) does possess serious early pace if he does, and should he cross the favourite, who knows? Even if the Candyman takes a more conservative route, that bloke should settle three pegs and from there he should finish second or third at very worst. Map-wise, the other must-include for multiples is likely trail-horse MONSIEUR DELACOUR (2). Little separates the remining runners though it must be remembered that every horse, in descending order, will need to make up 4m-plus to run past them in a single-file scenario and for that reason CAPTAIN CONFETTI (4) rates as fourth pick. EARLY SPEED: 1 (Likely Leader) + 3? + 2?,7? RATINGS: 1/ 3/ 2/ 4/ 7/ 5/ 6
