Race 1 
1 Pisces 

Pisces stamped himself as one to watch with a smart win on debut at Kembla Grange in December and went to the paddock after finishing third behind Straight Charge and Erno's Cube at Randwick. The form can hold up in something of this quality. 

Race 2 
4 Everyone's A Star 

Everyone's A Star recorded consecutive wins in BM72 company on the Kensington course at Randwick before finishing a credible seventh in the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes last time out. Marc Chevalier's horses are flying, and Everyone's A Star will relish this drop in class. 

Race 3 
7 Green Shadows 

Green Shadows has turned in some smart performances throughout seventeen trips to the races, but I thought that his first-up run this time was amongst his best. His second-up record is very good and with even luck, he can fight out the finish again. 

Race 4 
13 Martini Mumma 

Martini Mumma blew them away in maiden company first-up at Wagga, but she was even more impressive when greeting the judge six lengths ahead of her rivals in BM58 company last time out. Fitter third-up, something like this looks the next logical step for her. 

Race 5 
9 Miss Hades 

Miss Hades has made just six appearances at the races since debuting, but she has more than stamped herself as one to watch by winning four times and filling the minors on the two other occasions. She was eye-catching in her first run back from a break and will only improve for that effort. 

Race 6 
1 Let's Try 

Let's Try was a strong and consistent performer last time in, winning a couple of nice races and finding form around some quality opposition. Having picked up where he left off at Newcastle, he's open to plenty of improvement and progression back through the grades. 

Race 7 
15 Kazou 

Kazou has won four of eight starts since debuting, placing a further three times, and she returned to action with an impressive performance and win in BM78 company at Randwick last time in. She has found form around some strong black type-quality horses recently and this looks a perfect kick-off point for her. 

Race 8 
8 Jimmysstar 

The bubble did burst a little when he finished down the order as an odds-on favourite in the Newcastle Newmarket last month, but Jimmysstar's form in Australia prior to that was outstanding, and almost faultless. He has been freshened, and something like this remains well within his abilities. 

Race 9 
4 Andalus 

Andalus turned in some fine performances last year, his first preparation in Australia, and he kept on coming behind Bethencourt in BM94 company at Gosford when resuming. With natural improvement, something like this looks within his abilities, and we can have an each way play at the price. 

Race 10 
7 Starman 

Starman has been racing in consistent form this time and looms as a genuine each way chance again on Saturday. He hasn't missed placing at his last four appearances, and he has been kept up to the mark with a trial since his last appearance. 

Best: 13 Martini Mumma (Race 4) 
Next: 8 Jimmysstar (Race 8) 
Value: 4 Andalus (Race 9)
