NEXT UP

It comes in the shape of progressive gelding Rubiquitous who looks to have found another winnable assignment.

Chris Anderson's three-year-old comes off a fighting win in the Listed Mick Dittman Plate at this course and distance, his second victory at this track from just three attempts.

He only goes up half a kilo and a good draw can see Brad Stewart secure him a cushy run on the pace.

Rubiquitous is building a good strike rate and he looks well placed to go back to back.

Progressive filly Smirk can take another step forward one race earlier in The Roses.

Chris Waller's three-year-old is taking good strides this time scoring at Canterbury two back then racing on pace and fighting on for third to a couple of handy rivals last start.

Neither of those fillies is present today and with Smirk now reaching her peak fourth up she looks a good prospect with James McDonald going back aboard.
