NEXT UP

Things start to heat up this weekend in the city of churches, with an exciting meeting assembled.

Spearheading the day's action are three black type contests, the Listed Dequetteville Stakes (Race the Listed Port Adelaide Guineas (Race 8) and the Group 3 Auraria Stakes (Race 9).

The 10-race card is comprised of a handful of intriguing contests, with many appealing betting opportunities on offer.

For the best bet this week we look to the almighty power of the Blue Army and their chief James Cummings to have Remedies getting the job done for us in the Dequetteville Stakes.

The promising two-year-old filly has enjoyed a bright start to her career, knocking the maiden off on debut before running into three smart ones in Little Brose, Café Millenium and Steel City – in which she was far from disgraced.

The daughter of Sepoy clearly carries the superior form lines and the booking of Todd Pannell is another push for her chances.

Remedies will only need to hold her form to be taking this out.

For the next best play we look to the other Listed contest in the Port Adelaide Guineas where I'm keen on Dream Hour.

Sporting the Australian Bloodstock silks for the R Griffiths & M De Kock stable, the three-year-old gelding looks set to peak third-up off the back of two eye-catching finishes.

Settling too far back in his two starts to open this campaign, the son of Dawn Approach has only warmed to his task late when savaging the line to fall just shy of minor money.

Stripping fitter on the quick turnaround, Dream Hour will appreciate the anticipated strong early tempo and should have plenty to offer when they turn for home.

Expect to see him climbing over their backs at the business end.
