Race 1: Class 6 Handicap (1600m)

Tenzing and Rising Pacific were only separated by a nose last time out, so it is hard to ignore the former when he is twice the price of the latter. After drawing barrier two, Tyler Schiller will be able to push forward and settle behind the slow tempo. If Tenzing can find a back to follow and peel out wide on the home turn, he will prove hard to beat in the opening event.

Race 2: Benchmark 78 Handicap (1350m)

We were with Warby last start when he was narrowly beaten by his stablemate Immoral over 1200m at Eagle Farm first-up off a 17-week spell. The Tony Gollan-trained gelding has a strong second-up (4:2-0-0) and Soft track (6:2-2-0) record, so he should relish conditions. Stepping up to 1350m will suit this son of Hellbent, and if Ryan Maloney can find cover from barrier 18, Warby will be flying home late.

Race 3: 3YO Plate (1350m)

Golden Decade produced one of his best performances first-up when he defeated Inhibitions at Eagle Farm over 1300m by just under a length. The Matthew Dunn-trained gelding settled outside the leader before taking over at the 300m and coasted to the line under little to no riding to record a very soft win. If Blake Shinn can find a similar position from barrier four, the rest of the field will have to be very good to beat Golden Decade.

Race 4: Group 3 JRA Chairman’s Handicap (2000m)

After two solid efforts in Group 3 company over 1500m and 1600m to kick off this preparation, the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained New Endeavour appears ready to peak third-up over 2000m. From barrier two, Tim Clark can settle behind the speed in the first four or five and allow his mount to build momentum around the home turn before letting down with a strong finish.

Race 5: Listed Members’ Handicap (1600m)

Gringotts and Territory Express appear to be the only two runners with any support in the Members’ Handicap. The former is undefeated this preparation and is coming off a nice win in the Tamworth Cup, where he improved his record to two wins and a placing on Soft ground. With Jamie Kah jumping aboard, the Ciaron Maher-trained gelding looks the one to beat with a 3.5kg weight advantage over his closest rival.

Race 6: Group 2 Spirit Of Boom Classic (1200m)

It was hard not to be impressed by the debut of Angel Capital when he let down with a devastating turn of foot to run away with an arrogant 2.3-length victory. The son of Harry Angel raced rather ungenerously early, but once he straightened and was given his cue by Jamie Kah, he glided straight past his rivals. The extra 200m should suit him, and if he shows a similar turn of foot, Angel Capital will maintain his unbeaten record.

Race 7: Listed Bright Shadow (1110m)

Although she must give all her rivals weight, Parisal looks to be one of the better bets on the card following her tough win at Hawkesbury first-up. James McDonald retains the ride, and from barrier four, this daughter of Astern will receive a similar run in transit to last time. If Parisal can finish off like she did fresh, she can win again.

Race 8: Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (1200m)

The 93rd edition of the Doomben 10,000 will feature nine runners, with the Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman-trained I Wish I Win marked as the favourite to take out the $1.5 million contest. Will anyone be able to defeat the 2023 TJ Smith Stakes winner and Everest runner-up, or will he add another Group 1 to his impressive resume?

Race 9: Group 3 Rough Habit Plate (2000m)

Tanhauser was heavily backed in the Group 3 Frank Packer Plate on a Heavy track; however, he couldn’t pick up the leading trio on the inside as he made his run down the outside from midfield. He heads to Queensland after a four-week break, and if James McDonald can find a midfield position with cover, this son of Dundeel can turn the tables on the top few that had his measure at Randwick.
